Intercooler ====> Boost Controller ====> Wastegate

Remove all the tubes you put at the back there and just use 1 tube going from the vacuum nipple to the BOV.

If there is a tube coming from the BOV return pipe, which used to go to the stock boost solenoid... stick a screw in it and block it off.

hey again guys, what i basically need to know is if its possible to run the controller from the manifold. i dont have any nipples on my cooler piping or cooler itself so the manifold is my only source of vacuume. the stock solenoid isnt fitted to the car. how ive got it there is manifold>boost controller>wastegate actuator with a T-peice going to the bov before the controller.

am i able to leach vacumme from the pipe comming from the charcoal canister? to run the boost controller or is that just a stupid idea lol?

u cannot use manifold pressure as the source for ur boost controller, it must be turbo pressure, eg all intercooler piping between turbo and throttle body, get ur hands on a threaded hosetail fitting, drill and tap a thread into ur piping and use that as ur pressure source

Thankyou lol, finally the answer i was looking for XD any places i can get a hose tail fitting from that u know of?

It's really easy to tap a nipple into aftermarket intercooler piping, just get a small screw nipple from super cheap auto and then buy some metal epoxy. Drill a hole, tap the nipple and the epoxy the f**k out of it.

any place shoulde have them man

Try pirtek or couplers, they are normally pretty good

make sure the tap is the right size and thread pitch

the most important thing (and the obvious one) is make sure you REMOVE the pipe before even thinking about getting the drill and tap. if you leave any swarf inside that pipe then your engine WILL NOT like it lol

why not?

if you havent got any nipples on your cooler piping just plumb it up to the intake manifold, works fine

thats the point of this thread lol i tried that and its not working, ive seen a few people hook it up off the charcoal canister vaccume line and apparently it works?

i work at rotomotion, if ur after a threaded hosetail fitting we have heaps of them in house, or leave us the car and we will do all that for u and make sure ur boost controller is all functioning properly

Jonno - firstly boost controllers have a bleed off function, if u are hooking in ur boost controller into manifold vac uv just given urself a vacuum leak

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
