Hey guys and girls,

im new to the forum and have only recently purchased my first skyline a couple of week ago :whistling:

My dad and i have come across this (picture) and im not quite sure if this correct or not, as we are new to turbo engines.

This is how i purchased the car. Apparently the seller had a boost controller on at some point but had removed it.

There is a front mount intercooler fitted so the nipple from the stock piping is no longer there.

Im just wondering if this setup is ok or will it cause damage? and also is there a way to get it back to stock?

Thanks,

Andrew

It will be fine like that unless the Charcoal canister valve breaks and the gate stays shut.

I would plumb it to another boost/vacuum source from the plenum like where the BOV goes or just on the one next to it. T piece is fine

Thanks for the help guys really appreciated :P

I think it'l stay like that just for the time being until holidays when I'll try and put a nipple to the intercooler piping.

And just to make sure, it would go to the one I have circled in green? Any special location in particular?

Thanks guys

That's your hot pipe, would be a better indicator to go to the cold pipe.

And mentioned, if your plumbing is going straight to the actuator as it appears to be doing, you'll only see 5psi boost.

hey mate, sorry cant pm yet only new member, yeh that top pipe is going from the tee straight to the actuator with no other tees,

i just circled the solenoid to show the bottom hose is still connected. Which one is the cold pipe?

Thanks for the help

heres mine. i have a manual boost controller though but the two lines that go to my manual boost controller will just be moved to your standard solenoid. my standard one is still there anyway and you can see the nipple i added to the cold pipe.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
