Hey guys, as im soon installing a FMIC kit on my R33, im going to need to relocate the vacuum hose that connects from the stock IC pipe to the acutator. Now i know everyone says to T-piece it of the BOV hose however i have read that due to using a turbotech or any boost contoller, its likely to spike. Why is this??

Any other suggestions with out having to weld a nipple on the FMIC kit??

Cheers

spikes due to the changes in temp that you will get with the front mount. on a cold night the air will be much cooler than with the stock cooler. i had a problem with spiking when i was running it off the bov hose so i got the niple off the stock piping and transplanted it to the 'hot' pipe of the stock piping. its the only way you can do it. there is no vacuum hose on the hot side of the cooler.

thats an issue with any T peice, cant explain why though

off the plenum somewhere is the best place to get the pressure feed from

if you put it on the piping before the IC you will notice more drop off with the intercoolers restriction.

Ahh ok... well i currently have my boost gauge connected to my plenum hose (pic shown).. would this be a better place to run the acutator hose to prevent spiking? or is it going to be the same sh*t as the BOV hose??

Please post a pic of which hose you recommend I use... cheers!

depends on where you have your boost gauge running from. talking to guys with big hp cars they have their boost gauge hooked up to their wastegate lines as oppose to the plenum so they know exactly what the turbo is boosting to, as the engine gets less than the hot side of the cooler due to restriction of the cooler.

also i've seen turbo's (HKS i think it was) with the wastegate line running directly off the compressor housing, so it can't be that bad. i get less spiking now that i'm running it off the hot pipe than i was off the plenum. boost gauge is still off the plenum.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
