So I have just got a R32 GTR and I need to remove the boost controller that came with it. Its a HKS EVC 3 and i have found the manual for it but since I am new to the RB26 I am not sure where exactly the three hoses are going and what i need to do to remove it.

Here are some pics;

So this is the unit with the 3 hoses coming off.

One of the hoses goes to the top of the plenum.

The other two go down underneath the plenum.

So basically, if I take all these hoses off do i have to plumb them back to something or block them off or something else?

Any help would be good, thanks

Anyone know what a standard setup looks like at least?

Hi levizzle, I was in a similar situation recently and I came across a diagram of the lines that someone colored in to make some sense of it all.

I found that a compressor was great for tracking where the lines go as you can see from the diagram that they go from one side of the engine to the other side via around the back of the engine.

The lines are a combination of rubber tubing and steel piping and as you have already found out are very hard to see under all the other stuff.

Your setup was different to mine as my boost control valve was setup on the other side of the engine and my pressure control solenoid was removed with the 2 lines plugged off.

It looks like your pressure control solenoid is still there just on the engine side of your boost control valve which is a bit puzzling as they are usually disconnected when a boost controller is installed.

Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful and let you know what you needed to do as I am not confident enough to say do this or do that in case I get it wrong.

Cheers Ian.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
