_Shane_ Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 With my car not currently mapped i think the boost controller is not connected properly, well the hoses from the solenoid Would i be right in what im saying? Here is a pic i took tonight. The hose that you can see that is not connected i think goes to the external wastegate (you can see its connected to solenoid) ...... and the other hose that is connected to the other feed on the solenoid is going from the solenoid to a feed on the front housing of the turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraD06 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Have a look at the boost solanoid, is there a 'COM' and a 'NO' on either side? If so then this is where they are meant to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Im running a single turbo supra here is another pic but this time i put in a red line for one of the hoses coming from the apexi boost solenoid and a green line for the other hose Red hose coming from solenoid and going into feed on turbo face housing Green hose coming from solenoid not connected to anything on other end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 there is a couple of ways to plumb them but the siplest way is to keep the solinoid as a bleed type and just put one side to the top and one side to bottom of the waste gate ,or you could use the serch button that how i found a loverly little set up diagram and video of how they work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 but my question is, from looking at my boost solenoid setup, is it actually working? My car has a single turbo and is not mapped etc, so im assuming that the chaps at the garage did not connect up the solenoid hoses otherwise i would be boosting at whatever the boost controller was set to before i fitted the single turob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 When connected, the principle looks right to me in how it looks plumbed, however it's important the ports on the solenoid are plumbed the right way round. Not sure what you mean by last setting before single turbo; were you using this same BC with twins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 That boost controller is the Apexi AVCR. this was used with the twins etc When i got the car back from the turbo kit / fuel setup been fitted i was told not to drive car on like normal due to it not been mapped. My boost controller shows boost reading when im driving the car, the car drives normal but you shouldnt go past 4k as its like hitting fuel cut (car not mapped etc) My question here is ... Is the boost controller of any benefit / working when there is only 1 of the feeds from the solenoid connected and that feed is the one coming from the solenoid to the turbo housing. The feed that should be going to the wastegate is not connected as you can see from the pic. With this not connected does that mean the car will just be boosting from wastegate spring (whatever spring is fitted etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 it'll just run wastegate pressure with that pipe not connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 D'oh. I assumed you'd disconnected it to demonstrate which pipe you meant in the pic, sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
