What The Hell Is That? Or Was?

hi guys

bit curious when i had my boost gauge fitted before i picked up the car (r33 GTST) i noticed that instead of running the vacuum hose up the pillar they decided to punch a nice hole through my firewall but what i was concerned about they have obviously used a drill but didn't know they destroyed something while making the hole. when i brought it up they said not to worry and it wont change anything, but surly it was there for a reason. its a small black box about 3cm by 5cm behind the right wheel arch in the engine bay, next to the steering collum. does it really mean bad things or not to worry?? and for the record "What is it"?

F**k that's dodgy. From memory the black box is for the standard boost gauge in the dash. Is that still working?

um itt doesnt go to the + side always in - but it moves

does it affect th performance in any way or does it just get a bad reading?

that's what the first mate said after the titanic hit the iceberg ^^^

Are the terminals intact? Nothing displaced?

I'd source another unit > ask them to pay for it incl instal (if they want to keep your business - which I'd be most averse to do).

BTW, this stuff always happens to people with your User Name :whoops:

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
