Signal Line To Actuator, A Ball Ache To Tap Into?

Looked at fitting manual boost control today but the signal line to the actuators comes right out under the back of the plenum, goes into a hard line and wraps round the back of the head.

My question is, is there an easy point at which to intercept that line before it gets to the actuators, preferably rubber hose? The hose coming out from under the plenum looks just about unreachable with the engine in situ. Maybe if I took the fuel rail off?

The signal line for the wastegate should come from close to the turbo. If the car has had a Front mount kit fitted, then the fitting for the boost line was probably lost (as it comes out of one of the stock cooler pipes from memory) and one has been run from the intake manifold.

If it is stock turbo then just take the 90 degree elbow off and drill + tap a thread in to accept a screw in nipple. 1/8npt is probably the size. You can buy a tap in this size for less then $20 easily. Just get the nipple first then check the size

From what I can see (sorry its not the best photo for working out what you are pointing at) it looks like one of the hard lines for the carbon canister has been tapped into

Sorry I didn't make that particularly clear. It is an r32 gtr. It looks like I could have a go from underneath, just a bit of a shitter for access is all. Where do most people plumb into for ebc/mbc?

Obviously, the one and only place to source the signal for boost control on an R32 GTR is in that line. The best location is therefore the tapping point on the plenum, regardless of access problems. The factory boost control solenoid is on the driver's side suspension tower. Have you followed all the lines? Have you googled for howtos?

Hmmm, manual boost control on a 32 GTR.

Easiest option is to replace the factory solenoid with your bleed valve.

This is what I was thinking but as I don't have much GTR experience I didn't want to suggest it just in case

26 is the same as most setups.

Boost signal comes from the plenum and straight into a Tee.

One leg of the Tee heads off to the actuators on each turbo.

The other leg of the Tee heads off to the boost solenoid.

Then out of the boost solenoid over to a nipple on the inlet pipework to keep the emissions people happy.

One of the hoses at the boost solenoid will have a yellow band to mark that it's fitted with a restrictor, if the car is still on original boost.

Pop out the restrictor and the car will boost probably as Nissan originally intended.

Biggest difference with the 26 is the length of the steel pipes and hoses.

If one was setting the car up for big hp. you'd have to look more seriously at all that.

Thanks Jiffo. I'm only aiming for circa 420-440hp, basically just under the injector/maf limit.

I'll give that a try then. I did actually remove the. Boost restrictor from the marked pipe months ago, but it made no difference. I replaced the stock boost solenoid with a section of straight through pipe though and that took boost to about a bar. I'm actually a little confused how putting a straight bit of pipe (6mm bore) in place of the boost solenoid didn't send me into massive boost as surely most of the pressure going to the actuators would have leaked out of there?

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
