Hi everyone. Hope you all are doing well.

I have been working on my RB25DET for a while. It has a Freddy FFP and an TB adapter to keep the original TB.

I am now making a new intercooler piping for it to put on a larger TB and remove the adapter. It would look a little bit more legit without that adapter.

 

Here comes the 1st question. Can I remove the IAC PIPING?

By that I would like to know if the IAC can suck air from atmosphere directly, not from the intake piping and after the MAF? Of course I will fit on an filter if I can delete it.

I am asking because by deleting IAC PIPING can make the intercooler piping look better and make the engine bay a little more legit.

The ECU is PFC, if it matters.

 

 

The next question is about the boost reference for the boost controller.

It was from the intercooler piping, between TB and intercooler. I wonder if I can use the manifold pressure (from a nozzle on the manifold) as the boost reference provided to the boost controller and waste gate?

The boost controller is Apexi AVC-R and the waste gate is an internal one with an 1bar actuator.

 

Thank you all again.

No, and no.

Thanks for answering.

Can I ask why it is no for the second question? What is the difference between manifold pressure and piping pressure?

Cheers

One of them is after the throttle. Boost controllers get plumbed in before the throttle.

I've written thousands of words on the reason on these forums before. Hooking it up to the manifold is a good way to make the turbo work way harder than it has to under part throttle operation. On some turbos, this could actually lead to overspeed failure. At least it will lead to higher EMP than is necessary.

Thanks. That's very helpful. I will just hook it before the throttle.

Cheers.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
