Hi guys, just thought i would post up one of the most helpful tips when installing a Just Jap or Hybrid or similar FMIC. One ommision from these kits is the nipple for the boost controller which is actually just amazing. anyway...

Some poeple believe you can take a feed off something else such as the blow off valve or something after the throttle body. this is not correct. GFB state this in bold in their Atomic boost controller install instructions and i have scoured other boost controller instructions and they all take a pressure feed from before the throttle body.

so to have this available i have used the pipe work that you would normally take out for this intercooler upgrade.

there are two stock pipes that run down throught the metal work of the car to the stock intercooler location. one you would norammly keep which runs from the turbo to the intercooler. the other is normally upgraded with the chrome piping comming from the other side of the engine bay.

if you chop this discarded pipe about 2 thrids of the way down, you can use it to replace the stock pipe that is still in place. you will then have a nipple available to feed your boost controller.

i will post picks of what i have done, but i am much happier i have finnally got the pressure feed correct.

peace out people...

any questions just ask...

What the wall thickness of the stock pipes? I dont think the JJ kits Aluminium piping is very thick. It would be nice to have about 2mm of wall thickness to tap into. You can do the pipe just coming out of the turbo (stock pipe) or the one oafter the intercooler.

If you have a pressure drop across your cooler you may get different boost levels depending where you position it.

im in the middle of installing my just jap front mount, and i just drilled a hole, made sum threads and screwed in a nipple - easy.

one problem i am having is the front indicator/parking lights dont go all the way bak into there position because the bak hits the front mount. :|

oh and the little pipe that you have to drill and connect the boost hose too looks abit wonked and its pissing me off abit, doesnt look all straight

any help guys?

ps i havent trimmed the fan blades

AVC-R states after the throttle???

Dudes,

A boost GAUGE would be connected after the throttle body. IE, the inlet manifold.

A boost CONTROLLER/wastegate would be connected before the throttle body.

A controller needs to open the wastegate to adjust the boost, so when you take your foot off the throttle, the pressure before the throttle body, will rise, because the throttle body will close and the turbo will still be pumping boost. So at this point the pressure after the throttle body will be bugger all (which is what you want your bosst gauge to read), but the boost before the throttle body will keep going up until the wastegate is opened. So you want your boost controller connected before the throttle body so that when the boost tries to go past what you have dialed into the settings, it will open the wastegate for you to prevent overboosting.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
