2fardown Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I installed a Hybrid Front Mount intercooler on the weekend and had to remove a piece of the factory intercooler plumbing where the hose from my bleed valve was connected. What I'm wanting to know is where can I plumb this line into now? What has everyone else done in this situation? Thanks.

dAVE Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Bryce, I think there are pics in predators signature of how he has done it. Almost back in factory position.

2fardown Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 I've checked out Predators engine bay pics and he has the line plumbed into his aftermarket piping. I have circled the hose I don't have and need.

2fardown Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 Anyone else? Can I plumb it into the small vacum hose going to the BOV?

EnricoPalazzo Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 i dont think it will work off the bov hose. U will have to tap into the intercooler piping. I say drill a small hole then buy somthin at a phnematics shop like pirtek that would have a valve with a thread in it. Then screw it in there. Otherwise i can send u a piece that would work.

knore Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Ok, well i helped install a Hybrid monster kit on a mates car about 3 weeks ago now. We were shocked to find it doesnt have the plug on the intercooler piping to fit the bleed valve, basically we drilled a hole in the pipe, fed a hollow bolt through it and put a nut and tighted it on the outside (the nut is on the outside) worked fine. But still doesnt answer why they dont come with it already, ALL the other IC kits ive seen do Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/32385-fmic-installed-where-to-install-bleed-valve/#findComment-651023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
2fardown Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Looks like I'll have to do that Knore. Thanks. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/32385-fmic-installed-where-to-install-bleed-valve/#findComment-651065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
2fardown Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Sorted it all out. Tapped into the carbon canister line as MM2Death suggested again but this time I made sure the bleed valve was around the right way........ :Oops: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/32385-fmic-installed-where-to-install-bleed-valve/#findComment-651342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnricoPalazzo Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 hahah, sounds good mate. I still think takin the pressure off of i/c pipin would be more accurate??

Busky2k Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 You can use the inlet plenum vacuum hose to get a pressure reading. Nothing wrong with that. The good thing is that the boost will be more consistant because the turbo will help compensate the pressure loss through the intercooler and throttle body. Otherwise tap it after the intercooler. I dont recommend doing it before the intercooler really...

Anquetil Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I had mine re-welded back on to the new piping. Wasn't expensive to do.
