as topic state i have a hybrid fmic and about to install bleed valve. there is no hose going into the intercooler piping. did a search and ppl say they drilled a nipple into there intercooler piping. dont really want to do this. there must be a way to hook it up. any one done this b4? got any pics?

Theres a vac line coming from the throttle body down and under your intake pipe where your bov sits going to your carbon canistor, put a 3 way thingo (cant remember wtf they're called) and then go to your bleed valve there... or use the search button..

actually you need to make one up, do not put vacume to the wastgate, as the diaphram is not designed to work under vacume, it will get damaged. Best thing to do is to drill and tap the stock cast intake pipe, BEFORE the TB and put a screw in nipple into it. That is how i did mine, works well.

A nipple on the pipe would still have vacum?? woudlnt it?

Um... this doesn't make sense about the vacuume to the wastegate damaging the diaphram... doesn't the wastegate open and close on vacuume/boost pressure, isn't it designed like that from factory? And if you are right why does everyone that i've seen just run it from the vac hose, to the boost controller to the wastegate?

the hose that is supposed to go onto the intercooler piping is t-pieced into a hose that runs to where the intercooler pipe joins to the intake plenum if that makes sence. can i just join the bleed valve to that line. if that doesnt make sence ill get a pic later.

no as soon as boost pressure is released the spring forces the gate shut, there is no vacume on the setup, as the stock boost tap is placed before the TB. Introducing vacume to the diaphram can couse the diaphram to pull away from the shaft mounting plate thing, sorry can't remember the techincal name. If you do use a one way valve, ensure that it is placed before the tee peece bleed valve, otherwise you will get boost goign to the gate, and then it will stay open as it will still be under pressure.

the yellow line is the one that is supposed to be connected to the intercooler piping. if i put the bleed valve between the yellow line and the actuator i still dont see how it wont work because the standard boost control is hooked in there and why would the mechanic hook it up like that if its wrong.

As long as that hose has vacume pressure its the right one. Or am i wrong?

      I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.

      The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.

      Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
