yeah that waste gate is insane when all they have to do is make it like kanes pic below and rotate the WG 90 so it can be hooked up to the exhaust.

 

I got it running somewhat. I made a video. There is a little sputtering sound coming from the wastegate area. here is the vid. I also f*cked my coolant bottle. Dont ask.

Well I broke down... even though I said I would never buy Windows again - I needed a dedicated tuning computer.

Mobile and enough juice to run all the EMS's and my software for $300 bucks. The pen is for comparisons. I forgot how much I hated building windows machines..... there is 8 hours I'll never get back.

 

nice upgrade there kane...now time to come to so cal and tune my bnr turbo equiped 8...lol

 

Hmmm...... Where in CA?

 

Hey kane, Above we talk about running the line from the side of the waste gaste to the solenoid and from the solenoid to the turbo. I have the greddy profec 2. Should i make a t and connect it to the back of the boost cc at the solenoid or infront?

 

To my Understanding of kane's advice, i drew this.. lol


Now i would assume you plug the hoses to the corresponding Solenoid channels. Which you can find on your instructions. On my AEM bc this way was illustrated to be for a turbo with a built in wg. But i will trust the fellow Overlords

 

That looks right man - what did the AEM instructions say to do?

FOr an external WG - on the Greddy; you just change the port on the solenoid.

 

Huh?

For an EXTERNAL WG - they get plumbed differently for the Greddy - so instead of being at a 90 degree like mine; you port it on the opposite ports - the instructions tell you which COM an NO goes where.

 

AEM said to do: Side of WG + Turbo = 1 port, then 2nd port = top of WG.

 

WTF.... pics please? Can you take a pic of the instructions or something?

 

This was taken directly from the aem instructions if it helps

 

yep thats it.

 

Freakin wierd - looks like the AEM regulates boost by pushing air into the top can to equalize the WG.... it will work - but still wierd....

So looks like the AEM lts the turbo pressure to to the WG all the time - but add boost pressure to the top can to keep it closed - then when it wants to open the WG; it allows air to bleed out of the top can and the boost in the bottom can pushes it open.

 

I'm interested to see how you like the AEM tru boost Diego, I wasn't a fan. I like the look of it tho..it match my wideband so well.

 

Well i got like a 50% discount on my BC, o2, and oil temp. So can't really complain.. Also i only need it to hold my boost and that functional scramble button. Otherwise i dont care for other "cool" features. Wont mess with it too much

 

That's all I wanted too, but I had a hard time dialing in the boost I wanted.

 

well will c how it goes.

 

Something about that diagram doesn't sit well with me. As you said Kane, wierd. What do you think in terms of risk during failure of solenoids and junk?

 

If it fails open... bad things will happen..... bad bad things.

 

ventura county....(30 min north of santa barbara) (40 min south of san fernando valley)

 

I could be down - I got family out there and my wife will be moving there in June while I am at school.

I''ll be south - Riverside County

So kane what do you think i should run? your idea or what AEM says? if i do yours, do i use the noid setup for the integrated wg?

 

congrats brettus....looks like theres a benchmark now.....
