I've done a heap of searches on the forum and can't find anyone who has posted any pics or tutorial on how to install a Greddy Profec (B Spec II) boost controller in an R33. The electrical wiring is easy (wire it straight to the cig lghter power) but I need to know (WITH PICS) eacty which hoses to tap into, what stock hoses to block off etc etc

Also Do the r33 run a single or dual port actuator?

Picture 1

- The GReddy solenoid fully replaces the stock one.

- Black hose from the actuator goes to the GReddy solenoid as shown

- The red hose attached to the GReddy solenoid goes to Picture 2

- Electrics are wired up simply as shown.

Picture 2

- This photo is located at far end of the plenum, next to the BOV.

- The bottom red hose attached to the T-piece comes from the solenoid in Picture 1

- The right red hose goes to the plenum as shown.

- The black hose on the left goes to the BOV.

Picture 3

- This photo is located at near end of the plenum, next to the wiper washer bottle.

- The bottom hose with the filter attached goes to the main control unit inside the cabin.

- Other hoses are put together simply as shown.

Yes tap the hose that comes out of the filter with something like a t-piece.

The GReddy Profec B-Spec 2 is also an electronic boost gauge so a boost gauge is not really needed but if you want an analog display that's the hose the boost gauge would use.

Wink - Is the T-piece that you've used (in Picture 2) the same as what's available in any pet/fish supply store?

It comes with the whole package.

See page 4 of the PDF manual to see the parts list:

You'll notice that the t-piece (called "3 Way Fitting") is shown in the bottom left.

I wasn't referring to the white "3 way fitting" in Picture 3, I was talking about the Brownish T-piece in Picture 2. That T-piece does not come with the package. Is this piece already on the car? I don't get my R33 for another month yet so I can't just go and check my car.

      And make sure the belts are tightened appropriately too.

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.
