yeah it does some crazy stuff and should probably be left alone

i've head ppl also say that you should take a boost source after the cooler and even from the manifold, i guess to counter the boost drop across the piping and cooler core

I wouldn't. What happens when you do for some reason get a massive pressure drop across the system? Most people (with a Hypergear turbo at least) will use an actuator that is rated close to their turbo's maximum efficiency. But if your turbo is efficient to 20psi and you have an actuator that is rated to 20psi hooked up to the manifold, and you get a 5psi pressure drop, then all of a sudden your turbo will be trying to push 25psi, which could lead to super-heating of the intake charge or outright turbo failure.

I would have the nipple as close to the turbo outlet as possible. Then at least if you get a pressure drop, you're just going to lose a bit of power and you will notice and get it sorted out.

There are lots of fors and againsts.

Some people claim it using manifold causes boost spikes as you run a longer actuator line as well as a longer pressure source etc etc.

I used to run my old TD07S off the manifold, never had boost spike issues, and I actually had a reason... I had no BOV, there fore I wanted my pressure source to my wastegate in vacuum during gear shifts rather then seeing the huge pressure in the cooler pipes. This forced the wastegate shut whilst shifting, and made the car come back on boost hard again...

But on a nice little street setup, I'd have the pressure source as close to the turbo as possible.

Ok now I can smell oil through my air con, anyone ever had this, I can't find a leak but yeah kinda weird.

OK, pretty simple mate.

Your AC picks up fresh air from the skuttle panel (where the wipers are), anything that comes out of your bonnet would get sucked into there while your driving.

If your PVC is rooted and letting boost into the sump then you are probably pushing fumes or oil out of the dip stick. Furthermore if you have done a half job of your oil breather system (noting you dont have it running to your intake pipe anymore) it would also be doing the same thing. Otherwise if you have a little airfilter on the end of your rocker breathers it could be that too.

Yeah I thought that, it only really happens when I brake. One day was a really bad fuel smell the next it was oil, that's what had me poking around and I can't find anything. Guessing it's just another quirk.

Reading through all this and the other crap that youve posted all points to one thing

You shouldnt be around cars cause by the information or lack of you do give us you dont even

know wat the f**k your talkin about.

"DAMN I GOT NEW TYRES AND NOW MY GARAGE SMELLS LIKE NEW TYRES"

I mean your persistant ill give you that but seriously do you even know wat the f**k your on

about?

By the sound of it all just sell the car and buy a push bike...

We can then see threads of "How do I lube my chain" or "Im stuck in 15th gear HALP ME"

yep sorry but this is getting funny now....

Why are you not just taking your car to a decent mechanic/tuner, really these issues your having don't sound that hard to fix really....

He will prolly blame the tuner for not having a clean smelling car soon cause of this oil/fuel

vapour thats leaking out...

"YOUR TUNE IS SHIT, MY CAR IS STINKY NOW :( I DONT LIKE YOU!"

Really reminds of of all the halfwits at work that find the old point and blame game alot easier

then just saying "Yes I f**ked it by doin blah blah blah"

Just sell the f**kin thing and rid yourself from this site...You remind me of a smarter version

of La Bomba.

Chocco you never cease to amaze me with your completely useless posts. For some reason you feel that people aren't allowed to learn about the causes and fixes for their mechanical problems.

For those interested it appears some of the oil drains in the head were blocked.

Come on leave the poor guy alone, he is trying to learn.

lilcrash all I can suggest is if someone offers some advise that sounds reasonable then follow it and give some feedback/results <- Which you have actually been doing, apart form the odd delay.

Keep cracking on you will sort it out sooner or later.

alot of the delays in testing is because i get stuck into working on my wifes car and forget about my own problems. her car is still running perfectly without an afm and it runs like shit when i plug it in. im very confused how thats possible but yer.

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
