Fmic Piping

[morbsy]

Just installing my GReddy Spec LS FMIC, do i need to tap a thread and put a nipple into the side of the new pipes, or can i just connect into a positive flow air line?

Cheers

If you have a look in the forced induction section of the forum this has been covered a few times. Google works much better than SAU's search function

[morbsy]

also just about to drill the hole under the water bottle, and found this filter right in the way! is this just a cabin filter? and what can i do with it?

[Krishy]

thats really weird mate.....the first i have seen anything like that

[morbsy]

Yeah its really strange because theres just one dodgy wood screw holding it there right where i need to drill... maybe i can just re-locate it. but i still want to know what it is, so when i take the hoses off i dont get sprayed in the face with liquid or something

[Krishy]

try taking it off as the previous owner might have cut the hole already????

[morbsy]

yeah i thought that could be the case but i would be able to see it from the other side

i got some more photos and found where these two hoses lead too (sort of)

so one of the hoses lead into the T peice as shown and the other one join into that metal pipe that u can see in the left had side of the photo

Then i followed it around and this is the last place i followed it until it dissapeared under the car

lol the best bet is to try and take that thing off and see what happens mate.....could possibly be doing nothing???

[morbsy]

ok just took it off, theres 3 lines attached too it, the two as in the picture above, then theres also a vacuum line. any ideas yet? lol

[morbsy]

Its also got little granules inside of it, and when i typed the part number in google it came up with some russian site saying CHECK VALVE FUEL C

[Krishy]

hahah wtf.....first i have seen/heard of it mate

[morbsy]

Yeah me too, apparenty it just filters fuel vapors so they dont vent to atmosphere. i might just join the hoses together. lol

[Dohmar]

it sounds like the charcoal cannister. Fuel lines and vac hose are connected to remove the smell of petrol leaking in the engine bay - if you remove it, you'll surely soon know about it

-D

[Krishy]

but dont R33's come with a smaller charcoal canister that sits near the intake area???? so you can get rid of the big mofo and look for a smaller unit

^both of my 33's did / does

[Krishy]

thats what i am thinking....check if you have a small charcoal canister mate...if so then you can 4uck this off

[morbsy]

ok thanks heaps for the advice guys, im going t try and relocate it around the piping if possible.

Another question, on the stock boost controller , theres still a hose coming off it that goes into another vacuum line, can i just plug this hose up? as i would like to use the vacuum line for my after market boost controller and will save me putting in another T peice

[Luciano]

yep, you can plug that hose up.

[morbsy]

Thanks pal

[Krishy]

so did you manage to get the cooler fitted mate?? pics if you have done so
