Yeh the kit fitted pretty good. I didnt have to trim the blades but.

What I have to do is.

Trim bumper frame at the back.

Trim the front bar (as you can see)

Drill one hole for the piping.

One thing i would like the kit to have is a pipe from the turbo outlet, that is better then the stock one.

The just jap kit uses the stock pipe for this.

Oh I havent got any pics of the exhaust but its was pretty simple to install (once the old rusty one was off).

Does anyone know where the best place to put the boost controller on to. It used togo on the stock pipe out of the turbo but the JJ kit doesnt have a nipple on it. ATM I "T" ed it off at the BOV but its not working properly. I think the BOV effects it.

Well sofar its fine. The kit looks like good quality and is all polished up. You can feel the difference after a good thrash in the temps of the piping and the end tanks.

Just 2 things I would like to change.

1. Put a nipple on the out pipe of the IC for the boost controller

2. Ditch the stock out pipe from the turbo and replace with a manrel bent Stainless one.

I'm thinking about getting one of these justjap intercoolers too. Any problems with it so far? Probably a bit early to be asking! :(

Would you recommend one of these???

1. the boost controller goes in between the hose from the actuator to the outlet of the turbo(compressor cover where says garett ,nothing to do with blow off valve ,

2. why ?

I know it goes on the outlet of the turbo but there is no nipple to attach it to.

If you have a look at the pipe out of the turbo its got a realy bad bend 90degrees. A larger manrel bend here wouldn't hurt

run the boost control from the plenum.. will give less drop in the positive pressure reading.

the r33 turbo does not have the outlet on the turbo itself.

the r32 turbo has this outlet..

Would it be a problem if its connected with the BOV

Like in this pic?

wouldn't see an issue with it, just make sure it seals REALLY well .. use cable ties on your joins and should be fine..

check all teh hoses for any cracks, or just use new ones.. cos if it leaks your boost will spike and you'll have big issues..

Ok cool thanks mate.

One thing ive noticed with the BOV is at no boost it doesnt go off anymore.. you just here the turbo flutter sound. But when on boost it does the normal sound. Im guessing its due to the new intercooler.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
