August 20, 200916 yr the pipe from the wastegate actuator, originally goes to the intercooler pipe. one side i have this, but on the other side, it looks like ive got the pipe going back to the intake plenum? on the balance bar? is this correct? or does it HAVE to go to the intercooler??
August 20, 200916 yr should be the same both sides http://300zx-twinturbo.com/cgi-bin/manual.cgi?list=efec&dir=&config=&refresh=&direction=forward&scale=0&cycle=off&slide=12&design=default&total=190
August 21, 200916 yr Author thanks mate. i coudnt see the take off on the drivers side intercooler for the wastegate, but its obv there? (metal hardpipe) ive seen this pipe, which is a rubber pipe, but it has nothing onit? ?
August 21, 200916 yr thanks mate. i coudnt see the take off on the drivers side intercooler for the wastegate, but its obv there? (metal hardpipe) ive seen this pipe, which is a rubber pipe, but it has nothing onit? ? This is the idle control plumbing... Drivers side metal boost pipes (down by o/s/f head light) you should have: One vac pipe from reserc valve to balance tube One vac pipe directly from metal boost pipe to waste gate control sol (3 way splitter)
August 21, 200916 yr Author ok thanks, "pipe directly from metal boost pipe to waste gate control sol (3 way splitter)" this is the 1 i need to look for. by the looks, i can only see one pipe from under the turbo, in a rubber jacket, but its been conencted to the balance bar. need to re-route this then i take it
August 21, 200916 yr i'll put some pictures together for you of the overall vac piping on a 300zx tt engine so you can check everything. i'll do it over the weekend if you can wait. I need to to this anyway as a quick ref for me and might be usefull to other members. BTW the pipe from your tub with the rubber jacket on it should go to the 3 way splitter. 3 way splitter connection = tud wastegate,wastegate control sol, metal boost pipe Edited August 21, 200916 yr by zedwizz
August 21, 200916 yr Author yea that be good, the existing nissan diagrams are a bit hard to work out. its ok tho, just last time im sure i couldnt see a take-off on the left intercooler hard pipe, and the pipe on the wastegate pipe is on wrong, doesnt look asif long enough. il take a pic of mine aswel to show you.
August 21, 200916 yr Author PS that AAC, is that on each side? or that only on 1 side. ive got that blocked off on the drivers side, maybe why its idle'ing crap? need to check the passanger side :confused:
August 21, 200916 yr Author ok just been on the car. the drivers side setup is different to the passanger side. the passanger side, the wastegate pipe goes to the metal intercooler pipe, as there is a take-off for it. the other sides metal pipes do not. there is a take off on the RUBBER pipe on the drivers side, its the same pipe as ACC vale is on (pic above) i asume this is acceptable to put the drivers side wastegate pipe to???
August 22, 200916 yr Author isit? those 2 above are on the large rubber one that go from the air filter to the turbo. where can i connect the actuator to on the drivers side then? there defo isnt a take-off on the intercooler like the passanger side
August 22, 200916 yr the actuator pipe should attach to the bottom of the innermost metal hard boost pipe as you`re facing it, you may have to remove the rubber piping to spot the connection.
August 22, 200916 yr Author thanks ive got it now :) i was looking on the other metal hard pipe (there are 2 metal pipes each side) still got boost leak as car wont idle, but thats something seperate
the pipe from the wastegate actuator, originally goes to the intercooler pipe.
one side i have this, but on the other side, it looks like ive got the pipe going back to the intake plenum? on the balance bar?
is this correct? or does it HAVE to go to the intercooler??
