Turbo Lines Help

I have just finished re-turboing my r33 gtst but i am unsure where all of the vacuum lines need to connect. The first photo shows the t-piece with A going to the blow-off return pipe on the intake of the turbo. B goes to the waste gate actuator and C to the boost controller (with the other controller connection going to the intake). IS this correct? and does it matter which side plugs into the  connectors of the boost controller (currently the t piece goes to the bottom of the controller)

 

Also this may or may not be related but there is another random hose left unplugged on the drivers side near the boost gauge (but isn't the boost gauge line) that disappears down into the body work. its also not the rear windscreen washer either.

 

I bought this car off an older guy a couple years back and was given the turbo pieces in a box with them assembled roughly as seen in the photos but i have learnt to not trust him after seeing his electrical work (exposed, permanently live wires simply twisted together and run across the airbag sensor) so i have little faith that it is correct.

Cheers in advance,

Joe

Been a while since I saw a stock set up but ...Boost signal comes from the nipple on the intercooler pipe just above the letter A  to a T - one line (C) goes to the bottom of the boost solenoid valve and the other (B) goes to the turbo actuator.

Originally there is a restrictor in the line but can't remember just where sorry.

The line from the top of the boost solenoid goes to the bov return pipe. Not sure why you have a red line going over to the plenum. The other lines from the plenum go to the BOV and one to the FPR

Just looked at mine , that fitting on the front of the plenum goes to the fuel pressure regulator hose .

The rear plenum one goes to the standard boost gauge solenoid box gadget .

Non standard boost solenoid here but one side goes to the waste gate actuator and the other the barb on the steel IC return pipe that feeds into the cast aluminium crossover pipe .

A .

Ok so the last picture i posted wasn't at the best angle (it looks like the random hose i'm holding is going into the FPR bung). Turns out i shouldn't trust anything on this car, the hose i was holding ran into the body work but i found the other end and it was plugged up (the guy who owned it had a habit of running extra/unneeded wires, like the 4 set of RCA leads to a single sub). Cheers for all the help guys i've finally got my head wrapped around this mess and now all i have to do is plug the hole he added to the plenum to run what i think was a boost gauge.... some people... 

 

Cheers again.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
