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...

i just drill a hole in the pipe and tap a thread and screw in a nipple easy simple and quick

Hey mate,

Where do i go and what od i ask for to get everything i need to do this?

Also does it have any problmes leaking boost at high levels?

Cheers

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.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
