Bleed Valves? Which One Do U Use?


Recommended Posts

Guest RedLineGTR

rs73 electronics could stuff up more quickly then some mechanical ways...eg heat from enigine, u know how electronics are sometimes unpredicatble and can fail etc etc...do u have a boost gauge or anything..i know some people set thiers up on a dyno and let it be...but its not always the best way to make sure everything is running good..

I have no money (cash strap) to justify spending like $200 at that time. And as the bleed valve has been dynoed 3 times and did not spike, I was led to believe that it would never spiked.

Now it has spiked, the law of physic has defeat the valve, and detonates my engine :)

I've learn the hard way. Do not let the same thing that happens to me, happens to you too. So please don't judge me now, I've got enough headache with the problem and $$$ to try to fix this by:

- replacing the bleed valve with EBC

- getting my engine checked out thoroughly

- getting a more reliable boost gauge

At least i'm lucky the car is still running and turbo is still boosting (set to std boost 7psi now)...

yeah, no use whinging now...

Just get it replaced... my target is i wanna see a CONSISTENT 160rwkw minimum out of my car before the end of 2003.

If that target is fulfilled, next year I will aim for 180rwkw, then 200rwkw before end of 2004.

I have the GFB Atomic. Its pretty good; very little spiking. I recommend it. However boost tapers off about 1 psi up at the top end (past 6krm). But i think thats a charateristic of most bleeders and only a EBC can fix.. Btw Im running the stock cooler so that could be the problem...

    • 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.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
