I've done a heap of searches on the forum and can't find anyone who has posted any pics or tutorial on how to install a Greddy Profec (B Spec II) boost controller in an R33. The electrical wiring is easy (wire it straight to the cig lghter power) but I need to know (WITH PICS) eacty which hoses to tap into, what stock hoses to block off etc etc

Also Do the r33 run a single or dual port actuator?

Picture 1

- The GReddy solenoid fully replaces the stock one.

- Black hose from the actuator goes to the GReddy solenoid as shown

- The red hose attached to the GReddy solenoid goes to Picture 2

- Electrics are wired up simply as shown.

Picture 2

- This photo is located at far end of the plenum, next to the BOV.

- The bottom red hose attached to the T-piece comes from the solenoid in Picture 1

- The right red hose goes to the plenum as shown.

- The black hose on the left goes to the BOV.

Picture 3

- This photo is located at near end of the plenum, next to the wiper washer bottle.

- The bottom hose with the filter attached goes to the main control unit inside the cabin.

- Other hoses are put together simply as shown.

Yes tap the hose that comes out of the filter with something like a t-piece.

The GReddy Profec B-Spec 2 is also an electronic boost gauge so a boost gauge is not really needed but if you want an analog display that's the hose the boost gauge would use.

Wink - Is the T-piece that you've used (in Picture 2) the same as what's available in any pet/fish supply store?

It comes with the whole package.

See page 4 of the PDF manual to see the parts list:

You'll notice that the t-piece (called "3 Way Fitting") is shown in the bottom left.

I wasn't referring to the white "3 way fitting" in Picture 3, I was talking about the Brownish T-piece in Picture 2. That T-piece does not come with the package. Is this piece already on the car? I don't get my R33 for another month yet so I can't just go and check my car.

    • Have you checked the foam over the years? No deterioration to the foam from e85 mixing in oil? (assuming you're on E85)
    • Add to this... What blew the fuse too? If a circuit feeding power to the coils was blown, how were the coils even functioning to let the car start?   There is some seriously wrong wiring in that car for certain, and I'm betting there is some melted cables somewhere, but I can't explain the 30v either, unless there is something back feeding on that power line that has a dodgy power system and the electronics are giving it hell.
    • This is typically the case with such threads. What I cannot quite get my head around is where a reading above 12V (or 13.8 or 14.x or whatever the maximum achievable voltage might actually be in that specific car) comes from. 25V or 30V should be completely impossible. There's no way to create it. Hard to answer that question. It will literally depend on whether the current tune relies on the values as set. I'd guess it probably does. ie, the real base pressure being 49 means that the flowrate through the injectors will be higher than if it was 43.5. The Haltech's modelling should be handling that, but because it thinks the pressure is only 43.5, then..... I dunno. It should be thinking that it will be injecting less fuel with each pulse duration than is actually happening. So, something is definitely not-as-it-should-be, but specifically what that is is beyond my abilities to imagine. Someone like Dose who spends more time with Haltechs might have a better thought.
    • Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?  
    • The max they would go for me is 50.
