What's This Hose For

[Dani Boi]

Hey guys, just wondering if this hose is supposed to connect to anything (circled in red)? Cars a 96 R33 FYI

It's part of the stock boost control system.

at the other end is the control solenoid.

if you have a manual or electronic boost controller all you need to do is remove it/ block it so it's not letting air in or out.

if you don't have a boost controller, then it's supposed to be hooked up to various places in the intake system.

from the solenoid, one pipe should go to intake pipe after filter but before turbo. the other pipe should go to a T-piece and connect to wastegate actuator and to just after the turbo (where it can see pressure/ boost).

i might be able to find a drawing of what i mean if you need it.

HAha, i was about to ask exactly the same thing..

Hey mate cheers for the reply. Yeah I have an EBC so I'll just block it up

Thanks!

No probs.

@Arthur: Yep, that solenoid can be removed if you want. it serves no purpose any more.

Also, i have the Nissan FAST images that show the vacuum hoses for the canister, but i can't upload them to my website right now. i may add them later to this post just for completeness.

(for the time being i have PM'd them to you)
