guys i have posted this pic and put arrows to the location,all i need to know if this is the place to run the line for a mechanical speco boost gauge?

ive put the pic up as when i have asked before without a pic the only answer i got was that the guy used a t-piece on his which pretty much didn't help me at all as i needed to know where to run it from.

please let me know.

I have been told a number of times ... (and I have done it this way and I also have a speco mechanical boost guage) to t-piece it off the hose that connects at the front of the stock bov...

  • 3 weeks later...

sorry for bringing up an old topic but rather do this than make a new one,i decided to use the hose that goes to the stock bov as its best to fit the t-piece but i have another problem.

with the speco mech 2" boost gauge are they meant to come with 2 compression sleeves?cause mine only has one and also when i use the only compression sleeve and one of the compression nuts and do it up tight onto the boost gauge the white pressure hose can be pulled out very easily is this normal?

there should of been a round brass ring that only just slips over the white hose this ring needs to be tight when slipped on to help with the crimping when nut is tightened. mine had the right size ring for the white hose that came with it.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
