Was just trial fitting the intercooler today (from JUST JAP) and found a few things I don't have answers for. The original pipe has a little nipple that comes out which is connected to the bleed valve/boost controller. If I take that piece off when I put the new pipe on, where is the boost controller gonna connect to?????.

The blue round things in from of the radiator...........would that be the horn?? if so, why are there two of them??

Lastly, big long pipe that goes over the fan, it has a piece of metal coming out with two holes that seems to connect to the two holes on the engine but when I trial fitted on, they don't seem to match up no matter how hard I try.

If anyone has some detail pic or info of their front mount install for a Series 2 GTST please help me out.

i had the some problem fitting one last week into my sons car o made a bracket that bolts to that flat bit plate and then onto the engine bracket i had to make new brackets for the intercooler as well as the supplied ones didnt quite line up. also the clamps supplied are a bloody tight fit and caused some grief as well my kit wasent from just jap tho it was a geniune hybrid hope the pic helps . btw the horns just undo them and mount them inside the engine bay next to the rad

sorry about posting the same pic twice here is the 2nd pic i ment to post

yep i have a photo where the hole goes but all it shows is the pilot hole for the centre of the holesaw btw the hose from the boost controller i just brought a t piece and connected it the line that comes out of the plenum to the fuel regulater seems to work ok not causing any hassles

do you have to relocate the washer bottle at all?

you wouldn't happen to have a picture of the hole from the engine bay would u? so I could get a rough idea where to drill the hole.

You'll prob find the cooler was made for an RB20 as the holes will match up no worries on the side of it. You can suvive without this part attached... I have mates who have just broken it off!!

i would rather spend 10 mins making a bracket than just to rip it off and have a lump of broken weld stuck on the pipe let alone taking the chance of tearing a hole in the pipe while ya just rip it off

I got a hybrid kit and it said to trim the fan to make the top pipe fit, i also remade the cooler mounts to make it easier to fit. Then i missed when i drilled the hole and made a bit of a mess, but that should be repaired asap

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)

      No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
