Also this has 2 spots for vac hoses do they both go to the manifold ?

And this is a solenoid that is used to trigger (I think) the vacuum to the charcoal canister when the (factory) ECU determines that it is OK to do it.  So, no, both do not go to the manifold.  On the stocker, one would go to a vacuum source and the other snakes off towards the front of the car.

Is it for vac?

Yes, but not in the way that you're thinking.  That pipe is visible there, and on the other side of the timing cover.  On the inlet side, it is connected to the plenum.  On the other side it is connected to the suction port of the charcoal canister.  It provides the suck that purges the canister (and fuel tank) into the engine.

The solenoid valve you posted earlier is also connected to both the plenum and the charcoal canister.  It is the switch that makes the valve on the charcoal canister open.  There's no flow in that line, just a vacuum signal.

All the plenum vacuum you could ever want is available off the many vac ports they added down the back end of yoru new one.

Did you decide to put this plenum on without making notes on how the original setup was plumbed up?

I work shift work and every time I started pulling the standard stuff off I got called to work for 12 hour shifts so I lost track and that's been the problem ahha

It's not for gain it's perparing for top mount turbo setup coming soon

 

Ah yes, but I have a top mount neo and do not need this manifold :P

That said, you're in it, and it's on the car, so may as well finish it now.

Sorry, but that makes no sense.  There is more than one way I can read your question and none of them make sense.

1. Are you talking about the small hose on the barb on the intercooler return pipe just before the blue silicon joiner?  If so, that is not stock, it has been put there by somebody else, so it could be for anything.  It could be connected to that boost controller we see behind the PS reservoir.  It could be for a boost gauge.

2. Are you talking about the boost controller in the background?  If you are, one side (the input side) must come from the turbo outlet or intercooler hot pipe.  The other side goes to the wastegate actuator.

That one (the barb, near the blue joiner) is stock on a R34 neo, it does indeed go to the power steering. It's used for speed sensitive power steering (somehow) and disconnecting it does result in some VERY heavy steering.. as well as a boost leak).

It runs from the PS to the charge pipe. It doesn't run to the plenum, so it'll go back to somewhere on your intercooler piping. If this doesn't exist, well you can block the hose if you like heavy steering all the time, or get a fitting put on your charge pipes.

Yes the barb is factory on the 34s thank you glad you could understand haha

Thanks so don't delete it just put it back into the cooler pipes no problem thanks for explaining it to I wasn't sure what it was for

Nuh it's a power steering air control valve, it's only for bumping up idle when you turn the steering wheel. Mine's removed when I got a replacement pressure hose made up

Just block up the fitting that goes back to the plenum and the IC pipe

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
