Skyline Standard boost solenoid

[Skyline-R33]

hi guys basicaly have a problem being trying to put a Hks Boost controller in my skyline but the Hks Solenoid has 3 out going connections but i dont have 3 pipes could someone show me what the standard boost solenoid should look like as i had a manual boost controler in sold it and ripped it out and just joined the pipes with a t-piece and car isint running the best. Compared it to a friends spec 2 who doesnt have a front mount and has a pipe from the boost solonoid to his hard pipe. I have a front mount intercooler filled also so dont have the connection onto the hard pipe.


so im basicaly wanting to see pics of someones to know exactly what pipe goes where

i haven't got a picture but i can explain it

1, Take one pipe from the intercooler pipework (anywhere pre throttle body will work) and put a T piece in the end of it close to the boost solenoid (this pipe should have a restrictor in it or at least they do standard)
2, Take a second pipe from the T to the actuator (as if it was running straight through the T)
3, Take a third pipe from the T to the boost solenoid
4, take a forth pipe from solenoid to the intake pipe post AFM and pre turbo (there should be a nipple near the end of the steel pipe which the re-circ valve and and rocker covers breath into, it's down low and is awkward to get at)

im confused lol my hard piper has no pipes coming from it? anyone have a pic of what mine should look like minus the hks boost solenoid just want to know where pipes go on standard one?

 

[paki]

is it a standard turbo? you can't get a picture of the standard valve all plumbed up as the pipes run underneath the bigger pipes, i could draw it lol

 

[Skyline-R33]

yeah standard turbo a diagram would be great lol cheers

 

[paki]

this is terrible but it's as good as i can do

 

[paki]

the boost solenoid pipes may need to be swapped to make it work properly but it most likely won't matter

 

[Skyline-R33]

Diagram isint bad but pmd you confused still lol

 

[Skyline-R33]

anyone have a pic of what this should look like?

blow into one of the pipes. the one that air comes out of is the other normally opened port. If you blow into a port and no air comes out, that is a normally closed port.

You want to connect the hoses (turbo compressor to solenoid and wastegate actuator to solenoid) to the normally opened ports.

Simple.

Step 1, take to fast_cav.
Step 2, return or loiter for a hour.
Step 3, pay small amount and be happy knowing he will set it right and check your air/fuel and for DET and advise on what is needed to keep ya right and happy.
Or, skip steps and potentially go and buy one new rb25 or some pistons. lol
0.85 bar really tops for standard ceramic turbo lad.

Any use to you?

Is it not as simple as

One pipe to atmosphere
One pipe to turbo actuator
One pipe to anywhere on the inlet side I.E. inlet manifold?

Thats how Cosworth ones are plumbed.

Don't see where or indeed why you'd have any need for a 4th pipe as paki is saying. In fact i'd say his diagram is completely wrong as the boost solenoid won't actually do anything His is showing that basically you have the compressor housing connected directly to the actuator = no boost control at all apart from the actuator spring.

I'd be vary wary of pipes being t'd together on your boost control too = Engine meltage.

Ford's own piping diagram. Do that to yours and you can't go far wrong. You just need to find out what outlet is what.

 

[Skyline-R33]

i have only 2 pipes at present turbo and actuator i think

 

[Nicky]

PM'd

 

[mthompo]

oh dear oh dear! ryan take it to someone that has a clue ffs lol

 

[Skyline-R33]

lol will do

my drawing (primative as it is) is how it is plumbed as standad on a skyline, i know this because i have one and i understand how it works, it gives two stages of boost

he wants to hook it up standard and isn't using the hks solenoid

if your unsure get someone to sort it, fast_cav being the first stop
