The pipe that goes from the cooler to the throttle its got a 1cm diameter smaller hose connected to the side of it that goes to a t-junction and then i dunno where. Its neart the pwr steering liquid.

My question is this: on the piping kit i got there is no hole there for that hose to go into. Does any1 know what that little hose is and do i have to connect it to the new piping?

Thanx guys,

ur help will be GREATLY appreciated

1cm smaller than the cooler pipe? or do u mean a 1cm diameter hose, like a vaccum line? maybe for a guage if its a vaccum line? did u get a set of instructions with the cooler kit, and what cooler kit u got/whered u get it from? if its specific for ur car, it may have a mention for it. from my understanding, the line was there previously, it didnt come with the cooler kit...

i mean a 1cm in diameter hose like a vacuum line as u said. I don't have any afta market gauges. I got the piping from hypergear and it doesn't have instructions, its specific for my car.

Yea the line was on the stock pipe but there is no hole in the new pipes to allow for this line.

probably u best bet would be to chase the vaccum lines, and see where they go to. if its before the throttle body, its probly not a guage, but it's probly there for a reason. it may not be necessary, but find out where the line runs to, or wait for sumone whose done a cooler on the same car

Don't know if it's too late, but with my kit I got a t-piece & a hose about 3ft long, just get someone who know's about this to show you what line to cut, whack in the t-piece & run it back. The pic shows where mine ran from which is what you're asking about. I think the line in question is something to do with the factory boost controller.

For the record this is when my car didn't have 350rwhp. :P

So basically, u run this little hose to another hose and connect it via t-piece.

Question is what hose u run it to?

any vacuum line off the intake piping there is one to the charcol canister

Thanx dude,

Just to clarify is is better to put it to the hose that connects to ur boost gauge?

Or better to put to the holse that connects to BOV/actuator?

Hey with the pipe that goes past/near the timing belt, did u have to cut the fan a little?

cut the fan ,took about 10mm off mine. Take off the whole fan to do it, i used a jigsaw. do one blade then use the offcut as a template to mark the rest. I used some sandpaper to clean up the edges. good luck wit it.......

Thanx for the advice much appreciated it. Me and my friend basically mounted it so it wouldn't touch but it seems a little dodgy and it still moves around a bit. I might take ur advice and just cut the fan. Thanx again

Progress report:

Sat night: 9pm - 2am.

At my mates house, my mate ditches me so he can spend time with his g/f. So being a absolute N00b, takes me 5 hours to remove bodykit, front bar, stock piping and stock cooler. My mate did however manage to drill out a screw i happend to shred.

Sun

Even tho my mate said he would be up at 9am to help, he gets up at 11 then goes straight to work. Oh well at least i get to use his tools.

My other mate with a 180 comes around and we manage to mount the cooler and with the help of another guy that was walking past in the street, manage to get all the piping done on the hot side.

We had to use some pvc since the alluminium piping i got didnt quite fit in place. It was difficult to get rubber/silicon on this PVC.

Also as mentioned in the post above, half the cold side piping is done, altho in a dodgy fashion as to prevent the piping hitting the radiator fan.

Tommorrow

Finish uni at 5

Will have to finish cold side pipe, ie drill a hole in the chasis to fit the cold pipe from the intercooler to the adjoining piece.

Also will have to decide where to put my horn and also where to connect the loose vacuum hose to.

Hopefully this all will be done by the end of Monday, thus i will be able to drive my car

You used PVC....OMG...

Please stop there and take it to someone who knows that the f**k they are doing...

ease up!

there was a topic on the use of pvc as intercooler piping and the people who have tried it said that it worked just fine. even if it aint as pretty as shiney sparkely aluminium.

dont get on his back just for that, eh?

its a bit harsh.

LOL, u guys are funny. I fixed it up so that the pipe so it mounts properly, and doesnt look dodgy. I snipped the fan blades so it fits now.

Tomorrow or Wednesday i goto:

1) drill hole on driver's side and connect the cold pipe. estimated time: 1.5hrs

2) rellocate the horns somewhere (any good ideas?) estimated time: 0.5hrs

3) Trim the front bumber bar and put it back on estimated time: 2hrs

4) Connect the stock boost controller back to the BOV hose and t-piece it estimated time: 0.5hrs

5) Put front bodykit back on estimated time: 0.5hrs

6) Goto the guy who i bought the kit off and abuse him for giving me the wrong size hot pipe. (this is where i had to use the pvc)

estimated time: 2hrs

7) Get a refund for hose from that guy since he gave me the wrong sizes and i had to buy my own

estimated time: 0.5hrs (due to arguments)

8) Possibly remount the cooler off the bumper bar (atm it is mounted from the chasis bar running along the top)

estimated time: 2hrs

Oh yea, all these time could be halved if my mate helped me instead of spending every fricken second wit his g/f.

Pics will be up soon guys, hang in there for me

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
