Hey guys and girls,

Have just installed my FMIC and a nice Greddy plumback BOV, however I'm un-sure as to where to hook up the bleed valve hose to now.

The old cooler pipe was the standard Blitz item + BOV that the majority of Skylines arrive out here with, and it had a nipple to attach the hose before the bov. Any suggestion on where to hook it up now?

Would really appreciate the help.

Thanks

tap in a new nipple in the cooler piping that goes from the turbo to the intercooler and run it off that :P

Spot on. Most of the cheaper coolers dont have a nipple and you have to tap the cooler piping. Do it just before the cooler piping meets the inlet manifold.

Considering its a Hybrid kit I'm a little dissapointed that it didn't have one.

Can I just purchase said tap from somewhere or do I have to get it professionally done?

I am in the same position with the hybrid kit. Prob good to get it professionally done as the pipe is aluminium (on the hybrid kit) therfore requires TIG welding, which requires quite a bit of expertise. I am getting mine done tommorow from an exhaust place, hopefully it will fix my overboosting issues.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
