Hi guys,

When I bought my R34 all the vac hoses were muddled and I'm in need of some help as I cannot find the information anywhere else.

Firstly, is it completely ok for the charcoal cannister to be removed from a r34? As it has the Solenoid Valve which controls the purge. Do I just block everything off except for the fuel tank breather?

I am currently using a manual boost controller and the OEM solenoid is disconnected. Is it perfectly ok to connect it to this nipple on the hot side of the intercooler piping straight to the wastegate actuator?

Where does the nipple on the BOV recirculation pipe need to be connected to? This is the nipple just before the BOV line goes back into the intake.

It can just be seen here where the vac line connects (on the left)

Cheers

Wastegate line should be fed from as close to the turbo outlet as possible to the actuator. I think the vac line you have pictured (coming from the intake tube to the turbo) is for the stock boost solenoid and was blocked off on mine

The BOV needs a feed from the intake manifold because you need the vacumm under closed throttle to help lift the BOV off its seat

Thanks, I've now blocked off the recirc pipe and the pipe going to the canister control solenoid.

Only confused about the lines running out of the canister, there are two and both go to hard lines. They then split and run down each side of the vehicle, i've traced the passenger side one back to the fuel tank but I can't find where the one of the drivers side goes.

Why not leave the hoses/charcoal cannister connected? There is no power gain to be had by removing them and if the car is registeted for the road the cops can give you a defect notice

Yeah as above.

Just trying to remember what lines go were. I had mine hooked up wrong for ages and it wasnt letting the fuel tank breathe real well.

I think one line goes to the tank (sounds like that one is connected), 1 goes to the throttle body vac port (cooler side of TB), one goes to the intake manifold, and I think one is just a vent near the wheel arch? Not sure about the 4th line

I might order some hoses to replace the split ones but for now wanted to eliminate that as a possible cause for a missfire issue I have.

I've tried -

Spark plugs .8mm

Fuel filter

Boost leaks

Reverted boost back to stock.

O2 sensor

Ordered split fires, any other ideas? Missfire is mostly below 4k rpm.

Cheers

Missfire can mostly be noticed below 4k rpm.

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
