So thats the relief valve on the intake manifold.  Ok, but if I take it out and bung it up with large metal plug of some sort, will this cause any damage to my engine????

Just watch out if u have the standard T3 in place, for i've heard stories (had it happen to amate) of the wastegate sticking open on the standard T3's and overboosting big time!

Last time i check Boof, if you wastegate sticks open, you dont get boost :)

hahahaha pole smoker! :(

hey ant got the intercooler and etc done today. The guy that told me all the stuff recognized it as your old one straight away. He complained about how i have to do my exhaust first blah blah but i went ahead with it anyway, he quoted the exhaust to be like $1500+ or something *jawdrop*... couldnt just leave the stuff lying there *shrug*.

Got 2 comments on the car, 1) I cant hear the bov, is it cos its a small stock turbo? or did they do it the-doesnt-make-the-sound way?

2) The black plastic pipe for my air filter going from my bottom right to bottom left is still there, even though the original filter has been replaced. How come? I wouldve thought they'd get rid of that altogether.

I'll ask them those questions of course, unless u (or the rest of u) know the answer. Didnt hang around and pop the bonnet cos i had a basketball game and was in a rush... bad mistake...

Thanks Anthony. Will just have to take mine out, measure it up and find one around the shed down here! Coz mine's the '82 model it doesn't have the factory greddy relief valve, only the standard Nissan type.

On a good note, my interior is getting a retrim on Friday in Black microfibre/cotton material like in the R34, with blue suede inserts in the door trims and centre of seats. The trimmer is also remoulding the rear seat into 2 bucket style seats which should be heaps more comfortable!

guys i have some news, i've been talking to a bloke on here from www.slidewizeimports.com about getting stuff from jenesis, they can and said if i know of anyone else who wants things put an order together and they'll ship it all together at better rates. if you want have a look at www.r30.co.jp see what they have and PM me if you interested in getting an order :)

Oh another comedian!! Go play with ur RB my friend and leave the FJ's to us :) Pffft wastegate sticking open, wastegate sticking shut same difference :Bang:

come on guys, keep it relevent.. want to chat, goto the wasteland..

Sorry about that, Does anyone want anything from Jenesis as i'm placing an order in the next week or so for a new front lip and the shipping is going to be way cheaper for eveyone if theres more items comming over at once! :cool:

yas - not sure with the bov you should be able to hear it abit? maybe try adjusting the tension on the screw at the top? actualy, id say its not coz u have stock turbo, but because u have stock boost and stock exhaust. if u do your exhaust and increase the boost itll be good but otherwise it wont really open. my Sard R2D2 BOV i have on my car now wont open at all really now i have my boost controller off and am running stock boost. which is what yours is doing !

the black intake pipe they probably left there as it does actually help by getting cold air into the air filter. so if they have fit stuff in with the pipe there id say leave it as its only doing good by getting cold air from the front of the car!

rsx - cheers for the headsup that slidewayz can get Jenesis stuff, but ive got no money for anything atm! but i want some coilovers and shit from there eventualy so cheers for info anyway! ;D

*drools :wassup: Sounds like the DR's going to look A1 mate!! Now all you need is a big arse ball bearing turbo hanging off the FJ! :(:):rofl:

Are you going to the Newie cruise on the 8th?

thanks for that ant, my friend also told me that its either of the two u mentioned, he rekkons more towards the stock boost though.

I find it annoying that the length that the air has to travel is so long... i wonder if any places can modify the pipe? picky picky :)

    • 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!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
