I installed a Hybrid Front Mount intercooler and had to remove a piece of the factory intercooler plumbing where the hose from my bleed valve was connected.

where can I plumb this line into now? as the new hybrid kit has no where to plumb it to i have heard you can connect it to the carbon cannister line does this work?

Are you talking about the Blow off valve?  Your Bleed valve should be located between the actuator and the turbo........not on your intercooler plumbing
yes i know but on a r33 there is a t piece which goes to the intercooler piping as well as actuator and the turbo. does anyone know where i can plumb the bleed valve?

hey i have installed this kit on my skyline and i went to autobarn and got a screw in brass fitting. once you screw it in it has the nipple on it like the factory piping to put the pipe onto.

see images

also see my gallery for install pics.

yeah i bought the fitting for $4 or so, drilled a hole a little smaller than i needed then got the right size tap and tapped the hole then screwed in the fiting with a little plumbers tape. it works a treat and has done for almost 10 months now.

i have played a little also and found that a restrictor in this pipe as in the factory one shown makes the power seem to come on better when used with a manual boost controller as before it would spike and cause the ignition timing to retard.

just an idea, seemed to work on my car anyway?

Ive just tee'd mine into the fuel pressure reg line for the moment, its what it says to do in the Trust VSPL intercooler kit instructions.

Anyone who has bought an AVCR will have a spare metal nipple which is perfect to screw into the intercooler piping after you drill a hole in it.

Has thread and is the perfect size for it.

I plann on doing this the next time i take the cooler piping off, as i want the shortest hose possible from the piping to boost controller

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
