How Boost Works

[gach2]

Sorry for the newb question

but could some one give me a simple diagram (like xxxx > xxxx . xxxx etc)

on what happens when you boost

like where it goes from the turbo with specific reference to fmic and bov (which where my boost guage is connected)

got a boost leak

if i can understand this it will prob put in right place to look

thanks

hahaha but those pages dont seem to answer my question

and want it more answered towards a r33 style turbo set up

not some home made science project

please read the question before posting thanks (not just the post)

Or you can stick your head in the bonnet and hear it out.

You just learned me how to internet.

R33 turbo setup is really no different to any other turbo setup with a inter cooler. So take hanaldos advice, do some research then look under your bonnet and figure it out.

So what ur saying is-

U want to know how to find a boost leak ?

U want to know how a turbo works ?

U want to know the routing of R33 intercooler pipes ?

Also u mentioned a BOV, if its an atmo one dont bother. It Will only cause u idle and fuel economy issues. Stick with the stock one.

Turbo compresses the air pushes it through the the cooler into the head which then fills the cylinder with compressed air which will make more power in a basic suck squish band blow that sums it up

Oh, well in that case, let's start with this:

After you've read that, then read Messiah's post, then refer back to my first link. After all, can't run before we can walk

You sir.......

URM OK

THOUGHT THE REPLIES WOULD BE LOT MORE USEFUL

HANALDO WHICH ONE OF THOSE GOOGLE RESULTS ANSWER MY QUESTION?

AS I CANT REALLY FIND WT I ASKED IN OP

OK WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS WHERE THE BOOST (AIR) FLOWS FROM THE TURBO?

ORIGINALLY HAD A BOOST LEAK BUT I KNOW IT WAS COMING TO THE BOV (AS THE BOOST GUAGE IS CONNECTED AROUND THERE AND I DID HAVE FULL BOOST READING)

I DID LOOK INSIDE AND SAW THE FMIC JOINING AT THE FRONT WAS DODGY (SILICON JOINERS ANID CLAMPS), REMOVED THEM AND REALISED I CANT PUT IT BACK ON WITHOUT REMOVING HALF OF THE INTERCOOLER PIPING (WHICH I WILL DO LATER)

NOW I HAVE NO BOOST BUT IM HOPING ITS JUST BECAUSE EVERYTHINGS LOST AROUND THE INTERCOOLER

SO THE REASON I ASKED IS SO I CAN KNOW WHERE THE POSSIBILITIES ARE IF ITS COMING BETWEEN THE BOV AND ENGINE

AND JUST TO MAKE SURE THE FMIC COMES BEFORE BOV, OR MAYBE I HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM

IF YOU CANT HELP ME WITH THIS OR ANSWER MY ORIGINAL POST, DONT REPLY

I KNOW HOW TO USE GOOGLE

NO NEED FOR SMART ASS COMMENTS (YES I KNOW I POSTED EVERYTHING IN CAPITALS - HOPEFULLY YOU CAN READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE REPLYING)

Dude it's very simple I'm sure you will work it out people are replying with those answers cos it's a stupid question

[chris_82]

I think i know what ur getting at, u wanna know which is the outlet pipe off the turbo ? Look at ur engine from the front, u will see a big cross over pipe and a pipe connected to it, now look below that pipe and u will see another one that sorta runs parralel. Thats where the boost comes from, the lower one of the pipes, if u follow it back to the turbo u will see a 90degree elbow, thats ur outlet from the turbo.

Nope, now I can't read it at all. I read this part. And now my reply is probably pretty useless, because I doubt the rest of your post was in relation to your ill-use of caps lock.

Honestly mate, my first post was helping you. If you don't understand how these things work then you're not going to be able to find and fix problems. It seems pretty clear to me that you don't understand because you are asking a question of something so simple. So do us, and yourself, a favour by reading about how these things work. A Skyline isn't inherently different from any other turbocharged/intercooled engine.

Both!

At risk of feeding a very hungry troll...

it should be pretty simple to relate which pipes go to where.

start at your air filter, follow it back to the turbo, air goes in there. gets compressed then leaves the compressor housing (silver bit) then through to the intercooler, cools its shit down, then up and around past the BOV and to the throttle body -> engine.

p.s. i found that pic in 3 clicks and 11 key strokes...

Found this youtube vid using Hanaldo's first link.

A little late, but nonetheless....
