Hello there,

For my Boostcontroller (EVC) I need a source that feeds the manifold pressure (so after the throttle) into the EVC.

(for meassurement of boost)

Apart from the nipple at the plenum (front face of it) is there anything I could use instead?

I don't want to route a hose there since it would not look nice ;)

So any ideas?

Thanks ...

The stock Nissan one sits at the back of the engine bay I think. I just used the line to my FPR.

yes it does, hence why its perfect for routing into the cabin.

never ever ever T anything into the FPR vac line

there is absolutly no reason you cant T a map sensor into the fpr line .

not the blow off valve or pressure source or boost controller

tap it into the line at the back of the plenum for the factory boost gauge . while your at it throw the whole line away and replace it . its some weird hard plastic and its well known for splitting

its just a bad idea in general. a map sensor might not create any issues but if you ever get any sort of leak/bleed on that line it'll drop fuel pressure under boost, which isnt good. theres plenty of other good spots to get boost references from

I agree with Jonno.the FPR line can be used but Its best to use a differen boost source when possible.

As he said if a boost leak occurs on that line the fuel pressure may drop and cause a lean condition

So how many things can you T off on 1 line?

You can tee as many things as you like. At some stage you may just be able to get enough length of 3 or 4mm bore hose attached to a single point that you can slightly delay the pressure signal by a small fraction of a second.

Think about it. There is no real flow in these lines. If they all go to MAP sensors or FPRs that just sense pressure, then there is no air going anywhere. All that happens is that when the plenum is under vacuum (and then so is the length(s) of hose off a tapping point) and you open the throttle and let boost in, then a small amount of air will cram into the hose(s) as the pressure rises. Then when you slam the throttle shut the opposite has to happen and a bit of air has to flow out of the hose(s) so the pressure can drop. But these sort of pressure pulses happen very very quickly. I'm sure the maximum number of such connections someone might want to make in a typical engine bay might be able to be counted on one hand, and so the total volume inside the litle hoses won't add up to much. And that's not even considering the possibility that some of the hoses might go to things that are mounted in the cabin and so could be 2m long. Still not going to add much delay to the signal.

BUT. If there is flow in the line, such as when you have a traditional boost controller with a bleed, then there is air flow in the line and you would be wise not to a) connect too many things together and b) connect things that might be upset by the leak (bleed), such the FPR.

I agree with Jonno.the FPR line can be used but Its best to use a differen boost source when possible.

Can someone clear this up for me? Does the stock GTST fuel pressure reg increase fuel pressure further if it sees above atmospheric pressure at the manifold? As in, a reg on a NA car operates at atmospheric pressure (wide open throttle) or lower,

Absolutely. Whatever pressure is in the inlet manifold is the pressure that is applied to the FPR diaphragm. The only reason FPR signal can't go higher than 1 bar absolute is that the pressure in the manifold can't go any higher. Put a turbo on the same engine with the same FPR (ie just turbo the NA engine) and the FPR will now see whatever boost is applied to it and increase the fuel pressure by the same amount.

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
