I did mine last weekend. I used the hose where the fuel rail ends and goes back to the pleneum, but my brother said if it stuffs up, it could fry your engine.

so i moved it to where the pipe that goes to the BOV and tee it of there. You can basically use any hose that has vacum/pressure.

Didnt have a camera to take pics. can do it this weekend.

can any1 tell me the best position??

- the ole fashion way of doing it. seems to work fine.

on your knees

- common practice in churches

see how u got that pipe running over the top of your engine ..and it goes into that big bendy shape thing.. thats your intake and intake manifold ...on the back towards your firewall ..u should have a fitting on the back for your standard boost gauge....now depending on what boost gauge u have ..u should b able to tee into that .. or remove the standard fitting and fit the new on in thesame hole.

yes?

ok lookin at the engine from the front it should be in left back corner next to firewall, right? im jst confused coz sum1 told me to connect it the hose connected to the boost controller.

The only hole to get thru the firewall is on the right hand side when lookin at the engine from the front so i have to run it around ay.

seriously man its not that hard.

find a vaccum/boost line, T-piece into it and you're done.

again if you dont even know what an inlet manifold is or how to Tee in a boost line then you shouldnt be working on your car! Asking questions on a text based forum isnt going to help much either.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
