well im putting a gsr turbo together. i just purchased a hondata s300 and was wanting to know if i can tune the hondata to a certain boost level (10 psi), or would i need a boost controller of some sort to set it?? any input is much appreciated. thanks in advance

 

Yes, you can. You can go as low as your wastegate spring (or the creep of your wastegate).

More about hondata's boost control: http://hondata.com/s300boostcontrol.html

 

great!!! thank you very much, now i need to purchase a boost sylunoid.

 

yes, I bought it from phearable when i bought my s300 http://www.phearable.net/shoppingcar...noid-p-96.html
Here's what it looked like when i got it

 

Those GM solenoids suck. Get a MAc valve or something not plastic.

and that is not the same one you have linked. You have a MAC valve linked.

 

Yes it is an option that needs to be installed if you plan to run the AEM/HONDATA/MAC solenoid through the PWM boost output (A11). If you are going to use something like the dual or quad stage boost controller, then you can use one of the other 3 nitrous outputs. Those can set the solenoids as an on/off only, but can be set on engine specific parameters.

I agree, the new mac style valve provided by hondata is the replacement for the GM solenoid they used to provide us with. They both work, however the MAC valve is a better part.

ok, so ill see about getting the solenoid from hondata, which is the MAC? someone also mentioned to me that i could go without the solenoid and run boost from just the wastegate spring? i dont know if thats true, but anyone please correct me if im wrong. thanks again for all the great info

 

You can run a base pressure at what ever your wastegate spring is rated at. I.E. 1 bar = 14 psi etc...

You would then need a boost controller if you wanted to exceed the rating of your wastegate spring...

 

will the AEM true boost solenoid work with the S300? It looks like a mac valve, but is the frequency compatible?

 

Yes it will.

my friend said the boost solenoid is to run boost by gear only, is that correct? can i just run s300 by the wastegate or boost controller, as long as it doesnt exceed the spring of the wastegate?

 

Incorrect. You can run boost by rpm or high & low boost settings etc.
Concerning your 2nd question, the s300 system doesn't care if you use the boost solenoid you can run directly off the wastegate using your wastegate spring etc...

 

thank you very much!! just the answers ive been looking for. i appreciate everyones help in this thread. i will throw more questions out as they come during my build. i trully appreciate it.
