Hey everyone,

i have a hondata and s300,
i only have one outlet on my wastegate, so i fitted my boost solenoid inline inline with the vacuum to the wastegate, but its not working its overboosting and throwing engine code.

does anyone know is it possible to use a boost solenoid as a bleed valve with my setup?

my only other option is to get a new wastegate i think,
also i have my wastegate set so that theres no load on the spring, its just sat with the flap in "closed" position is this right?

thank you
james

here is a photo of my project, the wastegate is definately internal!




the engine is a B18C4

You could try it...I would start with the duty cycle really low.

Hey thank you for the reply,

i have just done a diagram to show how i have it plumbed in and my settings, but its just throwing the engine code and overboosting
i wanted 10psi,
ive checked all the wiring etc its all correct and the solenoid activates,

do these settings look ok to you?



thankyou
james

sorry, i really am thick,

i have an internal wastegate, not an external

im just so confused when it comes to cycles and % dutys

Hey everone.,

a big thanks to John Vega at Phearable,

he told me that the hondata instructions are wrong for internal wastegate configurations,
instead, you have to set up your solenoid like this for an internal wastegate:



so thats why it was overboosting

hope this helps someone else with same problem
