It's the gold metal line as seen in the picture that is blowing air.

that pipe should go to the blow off, somebody removed the blow off and blocked the pipe (as you can see with the 2 bolts holding a cover on it)

get a piece of HOSE and put a bolt in one end (so it seals it tight) and put the hose on that pipe.

it will fix it for you.

Haha mad spelling mistake by me FML!

Thanks for the quick reply, Yeah the blow off valve is weird aswell :S Never seen anything like it!

Haha its a blank off plate the stock bov goes there as gtscott said get some vacume hose and put a bolt in it so it is blocked off or buy a stock bov

Wait a minute youve got a 32... show me some thing please, im having trouble finding where my outside sensor for ac goes, a lot of the front was missing when i bought it.

I can take any photos of any area on mine if you need for you might find more missing/dodgy bits as you just bought the car.

The ambient air temp sensor for the climate control goes pretty much where you circled. On a factory R32 it is pressed into a hole on the bonnet catch support (the vertical strut of whicj that goes down in front of the radiator). When you have a front mount installed, assuming that the vertical strut is not butchered, then it's not smart to leave it down there as it gets hot air through the intercooler. So I just moved mine up to be behind the grille under the bonnet catch. Any combination of cable ties required is suifficient to mount it.

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
