Hey, ive got a problem with my boost controller tubing. I just installed a new FMIC, but the new piping doesnt have a 'nipple' for my boost tubing to go into.

Does anyone know if i can just drill a hole and plug it in, or if ill need to weld somehting onto it, or if its all hopless and now i need new FMIC piping?

Has anyone done anything like this before??

any help would be appreciated

very easy mate but make sure you take it off and do it...

you dont want metal shavings in your cooler piping...

then make it nice and clean and get a little nipple welded in....any mechanic that has welding skill could do it...

or if you have a mig or tif or something do it yourself...

its not a TRUST kit.

it came with a little T-piece for tubing, and i havent attached that yet, and im not sure where it goes, would that help at all?

i think welding and drilling is the go. ive been told its hard to weld onto aluminium, this true? i dont know welding, which is why im not gonna be doing it.

thanks for all you help, ill let you guys know how it works out.

ok. i plugged the tubing from the boost controller into a tube comming off the vacuum canister. she drives, and nothing has blown off yet. It feels different when i drive it. Theres little-to-no boost in 1st gear, but it second you can really feel it sit you back in the seat. The wierd thing is, it was opposite BEFORE i changed anything. Second has a flat spot, and first responded really well.

is this normal? does anyone have any pics they can show me of what it SHOULD look like? im gonna try find a digi and post some of my own.

ok. ive attached some pics.

the red tubes are the new ones.

theres one red tube going from the stock BOV to the manifold. im pretty sure thats right.

then the other one goes from the boost controller over to a vacuum canister. can someone plz let me know if this is right. i wanna drive my baby without thinking she's gonna pop something on me.

also coz shes heating up so much i dont think its right. or maybe its in need of a serious tune

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated 
    • Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.
    • Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
    • Glad it eventually came out Duncan!   I believe that might be 040. 044 is the inline pump, so has screw fittings in and out. 040 is more just drop it in fuel and the bottom is "open" (mesh) from my memory
