Boost Solenoid Setup

JLarson · 04-09-2020, 07:53 AM

Hey all, I'm sure some of you are running boost solenoids to control boost levels. How did you set yours up? Pics are welcome. (No **** pics please, I get enough from JAR. If you must, inbox me only tasteful nudes with pictures of the Z in the background)

This did a pretty good job of explaining the mechanics of this kind of systems to a complete n00b like me.

Are you wanting to use Ecuteck to control it or a boost controller? Get with your tuner to see how he wants you to set it up if you use Ecuteck.

Vince should be able to help you. Specialty Z sales the 3 port solenoid and wiring adapter you would need to use to steal a port from the evap circuit.

3 port boost solenoid. Doesn’t change with one or two turbos. Run a boost pressure source to port 1 on the solenoid, vent port 3, port 2 to the top of the wastegate or wastegates. Boost source to the bottom of the gates. If your running 2 gates use tees to join the hoses, use brass tees or similar not plastic. Heat wrap the hoses
