testing blitz solenoid for operation? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I bought a used blitz spec id spec r boost controller for my SR and it did work for a little while when boosting around 1 bar and then decided to turned off the boost control just so i can run stock wastgate pressure. Now i tried turning it back on (setting it back to channel 1) and will not go past stock boost and checked all the connections and settings. Is it possible the solenoid just crapped out? Any way to test the valve itself? I did place the solenoid close to the exhaust manifold near the strut tower so hopefully heat wasnt the issue...

yeah if you put a 12v charge to the solenoid it will open, you will be able to hear it click,

most likely you have blown a fuse on the board, but check the solenoid first
