take it over the other side mate, thats why they give you such a big hose. Keymaker33 is right, thats the one i was on about. just cut in the middle with sidecutters and put t piece in, then run the hose over to your controller and then from controller to wastegate. viola.

put cable ties or clamps on everything so it looks/is secure, if you lose boost through a leak it will affect your fuelling as your teeing off the fuel system's signal. Its not hard but just do it right.

********* edited by Beer Baron. not adding anything mate. please refrain from throwing the boot in as tempting as it may be. enough people have already explained what the problem is, and how to fix it. the insults don't help. ***********

u idiot, if u leave the hose disconnected ur running unlimited boost!!

no wonder the boostgauge is off the scale... connect the hose to the hose between the throttle body and BOV

LOL the dude dusn't know, no need to call him an idiot.... The picture you first circled where you had a massive (IS THAT WHERE?) The answer is yes its easiest to get to and its a vaccume pressure hose so it'll be ok. Make sure you have the bleed valve or whatever your using pointing in the right direction aswell. And then leave the boost controller closed completely cos its a time bomb at the moment.

Open the rest of your car up as in full exhaust pod and all the little things the maybe turn it up to 10 or around that, when you get your ecu then go even more until then dont be guessing with motors cos it can cost you big $$. I'm sure alot of people here have learnt the hard way... you dont want to do that unless you have money falling out of your pocket... if you do can i have some? lol

LOL, thanks guys. I've made the connect and yes now its boosting to lnly ~7 PSI so thats all sorted.

I'll take her for a drive tonight and make sure its performing as it did with the stock cooler otherwise ill need some suggestions on how to check for vac leaks.

Hahaha must be one of those rare 'mint' trees I've been hearing about. But you can only pick em when they're ripe, otherwise it'll just turn out to be a forgery. hahahaha

Yea umm... the only money tree's growing in backyards are MARYJANE plants.... but if you really do have a money tree or a mary jane plant at least give us some seeds... :ninja:

this is a message from your friendly moderator. the next person to point out this guys mistake, or call him an idiot get's a warning. he already knows he ballsed up the installation. help the guy solve his problem if you like. if you don't want to then just read and don't post. simple :laugh:

I apologise for my harsh comment, but please, people that buy turbo cars and that even THINK for a single second that they are going to do the modding themselves should know something as simple as this.

Accepted mate. I did know about running unlimited boost. I just didnt know where to connect the controller to. Should have used some common sense.

Anyways, the car SEEMS to run a little slower but im starting to think its not, because the cooler has acted like a buffer and i dont feel the boost kick anymore.

Anyone comfirm that theory?

some people say you get a bit more lag with a cooler on, but im not sure i beleive that. ive done a few and am yet to notice. I usually do cars that have already got exhausts etc so maybe your still hanging on that restriction and have just increased the inlet tract, which would cause lag i guess. you are definitely right that you lose a bit of response fitting a large intercooler. before anyone says its not that big, have you ever compared it to a stock one? they are about 6X the size including end tanks and extra piping too.

are you talking slower in general or slower boosting time from 0 > +7 on the gauge measured in seconds?

The cooler is 600x300x75, so about 4x bigger in length than stock. I've g-teched my car when it was stock and got 134kW, but ive yet to do it with the cooler.

I THINK it is just as fast but it doesnt feel like it because its lacking the "kick" it used to have, so i wont know until i g-tech it again. Its definately caused lag, approx. 500-800 rpm extra.

Time for exhaust and dump pipes.

Edited by N13Astra

get a front pipe and leave the dump standard if you like, thats wot i did in my case.. and the midrange has improved and the note at high RPM is way niccerrr.. iv got a from dump -> 3inch front pipe -> 3.7inch rest through. I get 10psi on my "hi boost mod" and pulls hard to the redline :) iv got only a stock cooler so yer..

Its best if you change the stock dump pipe as it is very restrictive. It'll give you a much better pull through the rev range.

I've found this out when changing my own exhaust. I took some comparison photos in this thread.

Thats excactly right! If you leave the stock dump pipe its being restricted regardless so for under $150 even under $100 these days you can get a dump pipe which is the #1 mod i personally think anyway...

    • Got the gearbox in and the front drive shafts.
    • Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.
    • Took it to all Japan day, flogged the hell out of it and took it all, am a very very happy man  don’t know how that ended up in Greg’s thread before
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.
