Boost plumbing question

[rinmak]

Hey guys,

After reading this article:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=42895

I see that the standard boost control solenoid on an r33 is plumbed differently to the way mine is.

My one basically has the line coming off of the top part of the solenoid going to god knows where connected fine, but the bottom line which in the pictures in the article shown as having the vaccumm line connected to it is missing on mine.

Pictures of what i mean are here:

When i bought the car it had an aftermarket boost controller sitting on the vaccumm line. Since then i have removed the boost controller and just connected the vaccumm line back to itself with the white adaptor you see in the pics. Basically so that the vaccumm line is one line.

So my question ultimately, is the way that my car is plumbed ok? Would i see any benefits by connecting the hose back to the way it is in the article?

yes this looks ok, your actuator is plumbed directly to the manifold precooler pipe, it will open the actuator at sthe stock level, which i think is 0.50bar or 0.60bar. so its fine.

the stock boost solenoid makes the wastegate give it the effect of dual stage boost. so basically youll be running 7psi ish all the time, pretty much the same as the howto guide achieves
