hey guys. ive just installed a 2510 on my car and everything is sweet bar one annoying thing.

there is a hole on top of the exhaust housing on the turbo. its just after the flange (where the turbo bolts to manifold i.e T3). i'm pretty sure its for some kind of sensor, i'm thinking exhaust temp.....

problem i have is i just wanna plug it up but i cant find a bolt that fits. ive tried everything i can get in both imperial and metric. i have also thought about just having it welded shut but IF it is for a sensor than its prob not best and i dont really wanna have to take it all off just to have it welded and im a little concerned about fragments of metal falling in the exhaust housing if i have it welded with the turbo bolted up.

does anyone know what the pitch of the thread is for that hole? its a real fine thread. OR if it is for a sensor, what sensor is it for and where could i get a cheap second hand one just to plug the hole???

Cheers - Ryan

Should be 1/8 BSP tapered

Should be 1/8 BSP tapered

I thought egt sensors are normally 1/8 npt? who knows.

I have the same problem although i have the old sensor plug still in there that leaks a bit, so i want it blocked off.

I must admit, i have no idea what language you 2 are speaking.

Can you elaborate a bit so i can go into Mitre 10 and get a bolt to block it off?

I took the sensor out and went into Bunnings and they couldn't match it, so back in it went.

Thanks dudes... :)

hi,

i have a set of greddy gauges including exhaust temp. sensor and oil temp sensor. All are 1/8 PT (it`s slightly different from 1/8 npt). I also have a greddy sandwich plate installed under the oil filter. This sandwich plate has two 1/8pt holes for sensors but closed with plugs.

Find someone who uses this sandwich plate with at least one sensor -- he must have one spare plug. Use it :domokun:

    • 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.
