That elcheapo BLACK-WIRE boost solenoid mod....."I've returned!!"...and I'm happy!!

[superspit]

Hey Skliner's, ah wsup!! anyways,

it's been 6 months since my last confession, oops, since I've done the 'infamous' black-wire-mod, (boost solenoid always activated), and well, last week I decided that I'd put it back to standard.

If any of you have been following my little issues with upping the boost on my fairly standard GTS-t, then you'll understand why I reckon this mod sucks, hey, but that's just me!!

Anyways, car seems to go better, and actually surges incredibly well when I hit that 'boost point', just when you need it.... feels 5ukin ace.

The car is so much more driveable now on my way to work, but when I need the power I just floor it, count to 2 and bamm! Goes like a cut cat again.

(I reckon the car will last a bit longer too!!)

I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has 'returned.'

ps.I will get an aftermarket puter later on, (I know you just can't beat that very controlable mod), but until then, I guess the Japs really did design these cars to run very well on the stock BC. Don't get me wrong, I do want more power !! But I've figured that all this stuff I hear about spending money on this and that is probably the only way to make Line go faster, properley and safely!!

Give us your input if you've actually done this mod, let me know what you think of it?

Thanks Skliner's.

Mark.

I've done it, and I feel that it actually feels like shit down low. compared to normally. I have done all the usual, plugs etc.

explain to me how more boost will make a car last longer opposed to low boost?

He has put it back. IE less boost.

now i understand, im a good reader

i dont seem to have any problems as a daily driver. also done the auto water spray using the solenoid too. ive got an in cabin switch for it and its hardly used except for the ocasional off the lights, overtaking, or when i feel like some fun. no downers for me from this mod. i did notice once though that when fagin it on hi boost(7psi) it took a while for the power to be transfered even though the turbo was screeming. maybe thats what ur talking about??

I don't see how more boost can make it less driveable.

Boost = Power. (Until you go too far, then it becomes bent rods and chipped ring lands)

Sorry mate, not all of us have been following. Can you elaborate on that. thanks.

No! I think you got it earlier!!

Thanx.!!

Hey Z,

previous posts posted......

but basically, I've gone from bleeder valves, to plugs, letting more air into the stock IC (buy modifying the plastic flap in the wheel arch, changed timing (up from base), put a schick blue LED in the cigarette lighter.....etc.etc............everything that is called a 'cheap mod' (god bless cheap mods, they're fun, but you do get what you pay for!!).

I mention a few different parts here because each one seems to have a contributing factor with something else(?)

So, I guess that the advice from fellow Skliner's that I've had since I joined is to spend, properley, get it out of the way...then have some reliable results that are fun all the time.. i will be doing this!!

(but for now).....My car is now super consistant, and is ace 'down low',. but still kicks my chest when I squeeze the thing.

Up the Irons....eh.......'liners

....you put a switch in place, good idea...and I have felt what you described more than a few times. (with modded solenoid)

I still don't understand what your talking about :uhh:

If you want more boost you can get one of thoes things like a mini bleed valve for $2 from the garden section from hardware store. they use them for sprinkler systems.

Other than that if you don't have the basic modifications done to your car, exhaust, cooler, pod etc adding more boost down low will proberly choke your engine more ?

Hi Cam, (hey, my toyota had one of those!!)

Cameron, search for 'boost solenoid', or 'solenoid mod' somewhere in these forums, this is where I got it from. (just double check the wiring that's been incorrectly suggested)

Also Cam, if you look below, you'll find my basic mods list.

i suppose (in this case only) i am looking for responses from people who have done this modification and therefore have experienced the car with this particular set-up, only. I have a 4 inch catback, shouldn't choke, you'd think?

Anyways buddy, do a search, it is interesting, non the less!!

Mark. :Bang:
