Hi, I have an Modded RB25 in an LJ Torana and have aquestion regarding the AAC valve, I have an aftermarket Plenum and not sure of the correct or factory plumbing for the AAC Valve, is the intake pipe to the valve supposed to be to atmosphere pre-Turbo or should it be plumbed pre-throttle body on the boost side? Thanks

If single TB plenum just find a location to "jump around" the throttle body. This will be pressurized under boost and of course the leg from the plenum (vacuum side) will be under vacuum so plan your hose accordingly. My Hypertune came with an adapter that actually could have been threaded directly to the manifold on the vacuum side (but I just used some pretty thick silicone hose I had).

Ok thanks for that, yes it is a single throttle body. The Value wasn't plumbed when I Bought it, it was just vented to Atmosphere and I wasn't sure if it would leak boost back through it when under pressure. I will plumb it back before the throttle body in the intercooler pipe.

pressure side so the valve doesn't essentially have pressure against it.. pressure in the plenum and pressure on the coldside pipe would have the same +ve pressure on boost

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣

      Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?

      Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
