What's This Hose For

It's part of the stock boost control system.

at the other end is the control solenoid.

if you have a manual or electronic boost controller all you need to do is remove it/ block it so it's not letting air in or out.

if you don't have a boost controller, then it's supposed to be hooked up to various places in the intake system.

from the solenoid, one pipe should go to intake pipe after filter but before turbo. the other pipe should go to a T-piece and connect to wastegate actuator and to just after the turbo (where it can see pressure/ boost).

i might be able to find a drawing of what i mean if you need it.

Hey mate cheers for the reply. Yeah I have an EBC so I'll just block it up :)

Thanks!

No probs.

@Arthur: Yep, that solenoid can be removed if you want. it serves no purpose any more.

Also, i have the Nissan FAST images that show the vacuum hoses for the canister, but i can't upload them to my website right now. i may add them later to this post just for completeness.

(for the time being i have PM'd them to you)

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.

      I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
