Just Finished Fmic Install On R33......

[LANFOH]

G'day

Just finished putting my FMIC on my R33 Gtst today and had a question as to where the best place to reconnect the vacuum hose coming out of the wastegate/standard boost solenoid. The vacuum hose I am talking about comes of the standard black intercooler piping off a factory fitting right near the boost solenoid. As my new pipes dont have this nipple/fitting I have to read boost from somewhere else.

I was just gonna T into the Vacuum line coming of the BOV, but would like to know if this is the best place or is there somewhere better.

Any Ideas?

Cheers

PS will put up full tutorial once I have completely finished.

I asked this exact same question when I did my intercooler install a while ago. I was told I could either a) drill a small hole and fit a nipple coming off the piping where the stock one was, or B) tap the line into another vaccum line like off the carbon cannister or off the small line coming off the front of the intake plenum which is what I did. I haven't had any issues with connecting the line here, don't know which is the best line to join it up to though.

Cheers mate I have hooked it up to my BOV vacuum hose and it seems to work fine.

is it bad if i just block it off with a nut?.

[Bobjones]

Yep its bad, that means you will run infinite boost as the wastegate will not open as it has NFI of whats going on...

Rather silly to do that really...

I had the same problem if you in Sydney go to autosport get it fixed for 20 bucks. All I had to do was connect the hose back intp the BOV line so it can read boost again.

i know this is an old thread but was just wondering how the connections to the bov line and plenum line went for yas? didnt mess with the level of boost at all?
