just finished installing a cooling pro fmic on a 95 r33, there is no nipple in the cooling pipes, what do i do with that line now? the kit included a t piece, and ive read in other installation guides in here what you do, but i dont know what the appreviations mean, or where what is (very new to diy and skylines)

"then had to plumb in the intercooler line.. ther is no nipple so i cut the vac line from TB and inserted a HKS T piece (HKS POWAH AND SPORTS)." <----

thats the line im left over with right? if so how do u explain that to some one who.. well doens't know what it means!

thats where i have mine connected. i went to repco (or most car shops should have them) and bought a screwin brass nipple. took the cooler pipe off and drilled and tapped a thread into it. then used som,e of that white plumber tape too seal it off so it didnt leak. you could also weld around it but mine didnt leak so i didnt bother.

search nipple there should be heaps of info on it

goodluck

steve!

i just installed my intercooler aswell and put a nipple after the cooler next to the head but the boost went from 6psi to 9-10psi without touching anything else. is that meant to do that??

Also i had a bov that i took off, what do i do with the line that was going to that,block it off??

You need to put the nipple after the turbo but before the intercooler

Yes - block it off. (or run the line to your new BOV

not needed on an RB20.

RB20 turbo has the nipple on the front of the turbo (compressor housing).

rb20turbofront.jpg

see the vacuum line that goes from the wastegate actuator (the circle thing to the right hand side of the turbo entry) to the compressor cover.

RB20's don't use a boost controller valve to control boost.

the spring that is in that wastegate actuator is made to keep the waste gate closed for long enough to flow 10psi of air through. then it opens.

The RB25 turbo has a standard wastegate actuator spring of 5psi.

so they use an electronic valve to increase this to 7psi after 4500rpm or something.

so the vacuum line an RB25 goes from the turbo wastegate actuator, to the electronic controler (attached to the suspension tower right in front of the power steering canister, has a blue vacuum line going to it)

from there, in a stock RB25, it goes to a nipple on the pipe that goes from the turbo to the intercooler.

long story with pictures short...

RB20 doesn't need nipple..

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      brake clearance depends on spoke design GT-R size I'd go 9.5 +15 or +12, and if you've rolled your guards, 10" +20. People run 10.5 but I reckon that's too wide.

      I was using Realdash App on my entertainment unit in the sil80. Can connect over USB/bluetooth, can set up warnings and is discreet and doesn't stand out bonus was using android auto so had maps and music still going. Put the dollars saved from a screen into decent ecu, sensors and other upgrades.

      Here’s something I was wondering. From the colour of the fuel that came out of the old filter and how hard it was to take it out, I would assume that was clogged AF! Do you think the car was running lean during those times? And would it now run better now that the flow is better? Or would it run rich for a while and then start adjusting?  I’m not really sure if the R34 ECU adjusts to changes like this. I mean it’s an ECU from 2000, not AI 😂 But also, interested to know if anything like that is there.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Have made a start on the dump pipe. Ordered a few 3.5 inch bends and pie cuts. To make fit up and tacking a bit easier cut some slots in an old t bolt clamp. It's been a tight fit but managedto get it down under the car but still sits about 5-6mm below the chassis rail. Have started to weld it out but not had much time. Also got new orings and gasket so intake and injectors are back in with all the water bypass done. Another box arrived with bits for making a  swirl pot off the upper coolant neck. PWR are still waiting to make my intercooler and radiator but should be ready in 2 weeks. Slowly making a plan for a few suspension arm upgrades for when all engine/driveline is done. Got a busy period for work  ext few weeks so not much will happen on the car.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      I've had this happen with some cheaper kits and found the efihardware ones don't do this. I would go be pwm the pump no way need it at 100% all the time.
