Probably best not to until someone who knows what theyre doing says something lol

But i wouldnt leave it without a hose connected to it... run the hose through a hole in the engine bay somewhere or down out of the way.

And make sure you have the T peice the right way... ie. arrow towards the actuator... not towards the Turbo and the bottom part (red part of the T) runs to the controller (which until you get it turned on a dyno should really be completely closed)

it works as in in-out type device

be careful when messing around with boost control, if you do it wrong your car will run unlimited boost. that is, if you load the car up and its setup wrong boost wont stop rising so youll just do damage or fry something

intercooler pipework -> hose -> stock valve IN -> stock valve -> stock valve OUT -> turbocharger actuator

on the black intercooler pipes there is a nipple already. it has a tube on it that runs to where the turbocharger is.

its about the same size if not a bit thinner then the red tubing in the photo. you basically interject your unit in replace of the stock boost solenoid

intercooler pipework -> hose -> turbosmart boost valve IN -> turbosmart boost valve -> turbosmart valve OUT -> turbocharger actuator

so basically find the stock boost solenoid and replace it for your turbocsmart device then away you go.

the device is next to the right suspension tower, its attached almost next to it. with two tubes that run to it and some wires.

undo the tubes from this and run them to your turbosmart device. drive around and experient.

as you load the engine up watch the stock boost guage and make sure it doesnt hit +7 if it does, youve done it wrong and are running unlimited boost (this is bad)

all you do is replace the standard boost controller in the r33 with the one you bought. it acts in the same manner that the standard1 works. bottom hose on standard, to bottom port on new, and same for the top.

providing your standard boost solenoid is set up correctly, you should be fine.

ill get a pick later tonight of my set up of the standard solenoid and point out on the pic where the pipes go.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
