Piping For Aac Valve

[luvpsi]

hey guys i was looking at my engine bay tonight and thinking how to clean it up a little. now im running a microtech which is Map sensor so no afm and it doesnt use the aac icc valve. now the big hose that goes from the elbow of the crossover pipe to the plenum/aac valve. now i dont think the aac valve is in use as theere is no plug plug into the purple plug on it. can i remove this pipe and blocke it off as im soon to be running external gate off the stock manifold and this hose may get in the way a tad.

Go for it.

I would keep it there untill not needed. I mean run your piping similar to mine that way there is no mucking around blocking stuff off. What about front facing plenum? Totally get rid of all the clutter

thought of that but for the power im going for its not needed plus ill need to remove all my battery and redo all my piping its in a vl btw

[luvpsi]

Go for it.

so it is for the aac valve? i wasnt sure thats all

[Bsa]

You can get a custom one haha

[Bsa]

I'm doing one for my 25/30 using original bottom runners

[luvpsi]

yeah but its all money BSA the main reason i want to move the pipe is for the external gate so i might just get my mate to weld a bung over the hole and remove it

[Bsa]

That is true I'm just lucky on those kind of things. You found anyone over there to make you one of those manifolds. I'm mucking around trying to see if the wastegate can be fitted under the manifold and turbo get it out of the way a bit also keep it looking low key on the stock mani

[luvpsi]

yeah the boys at ovaboost can do it for me however let me know how you go for the low key side of things as im using this for street however i wouldnt mind seeing a external gate sitting there haha

eventually ill get a forwrd facing plenum JD customs ( a advertiser on calaisturbo makes a forward plenum for rb25 that bolts onto stock runners

[Bsa]

Yeah it looks good but with this new motor im trying to keep the stock look except for the plenum needs to be engineered anyway. How much they charging if you don't mind me asking

[luvpsi]

not sure have not got that far yet as a mate told me they will do it

[Bsa]

Fair enough mate good luck with it I'll let you know how I go with the mani

[luvpsi]

Sounds good I may even still get you to do mine yet as you did a awesome job of yours

[Bsa]

Whatever works out cheaper for you mate.

As for the hose spigot, if your AAC isn't utilised then block everything up.

As for the plenum, I had a custom one made using a GTR plenum chamber and stock RB20 runners (RB25/30 with an N/a non-vct head) and a Q45 t/b on the front positioned so that I could utilise the standard GTR cooler/plumbing I fitted up. No relocation of battery etc. Barely cost more than a FReddy manifold.

[luvpsi]

Yeah I might some day go down the road of getting a forward facing plenum but I'll just use the stock TB

[Bsa]

I'm starting mine today trying to use factory everything. Im going to get it flow tested. You could just buy a 350 special from eBay but where's the fun in that.

[luvpsi]

Haha tru I want to try and get one made so I don't have to move battery

[Bsa]

I'll see how mine turns out never done a rb25 plenum before if it's good I'll hook you up
