wolf 3d + boost solenoid

[R32 GTSTT]

hi guys, ive got a r32 gtst with a wolf 3dv4. i want to be able to control boost with a wolf by using a r33 boost solenoid. However the r32 does not have one so i have to wire it in. I guess one of the wires goes to earth and the other goes to the wolf. has anyone hooked up a boost solenoid and know what wire to hook it into the ecu? thanks for ur help

How's it going.

The wolf has the ability to set your boost to what you want as well as boost cut.This has to be set up with your hand piece or laptop.

But to make your factory boost control unit work correctly off pulse is not easy , i am still having problems with mine. Who has been tunning your wolf . Is it going well?

If you have your ecu pluged into the factory harness, as i i9magine you have , then the wires going to your factory b controll is live as long as your ecu is set up as mentioned above. Are you installing a after market boost controler. I have a brand new precision 12v actuator valve that is simple to install if you need one.

Hey guys,

It took me ages to get this right.

Ended up getting a mac vavle (about 80 bucks) to control the gate, wiring in a new wire (to pin 5 I think), then setting a boost table. You need to put a resitor in the line

so no one knows which wire on the ecu that will control boost using the wolf?

Out of interest where did you get this valve from for that price?

MAC valves are excellent and are the ones used by the turbosmart eboost.

You dont need to use this tho if your on a very tight budjet. You may need to put a restrictor in the line from the wastegate to the solenoid and this will work tho you will need to change restrictors depending on what boost you wanna run. Also you wont be able to run your lowest boost setting with this set up (ie 6-8psi) but a bit higher but this shouldnt cause a problem. I had a skyline vavle on my wold3dv4 with no probs but you need the restrictor in the line or it wont work at all. Without the restrictor my car ran 6psi but with it in place is ran 10psi at the minimal setting and 15psi with valve fully opened. The skyline valves are really quite limited in the flow capacity they have.

But I would get a MACs valve cause they control your boost very very well and they're a piece of piss to set up. There are only 2 wires on the valve. Go to turbosmart.com.au and that should explain everything for this valve tho they dont say its a MAC (I think) the valve is definately a mac.

Hope this helps

Download the installation manual from wolfems.com.au. It will tell you what colour the boost control wire is.

the MAC valve is also recomended by AUTRONIC.

They work fine, but Wolf recomend adding a diode across the valve coil, to reduce transients generated by the valve.

I was looking on the wolf site the other day, and Im pretty sure they had an R32 boost controler on there. Or are you talking about something different?

Pin 5 it says on wolfems which is a red/white wire. Had a look on the harness and ive got that wire so i guess ill try hooking it up the weekend.

HP Race Engines got it for me, but I don't know where.

I had to get a boost table set up on the dyno to control to boost throughout the reve range, otherwise it was pretty uneven, pulling between 12 - 19 psi (which is a big gap).

Pin 5 is where mine is hooked up (I think its the auto tranny line).

If you guys ever need a good tuner for Wolf3d's and lives near Wagga (or want to travel) Hayden from HP is really good.
