boost gauge installation help needed !!

[jrb92se]

92 240sx rb25det swap stock turbo three inch exhausi got a manual boost controller installed its tapped in to the vacuum line that goes to the wastegate acuator my question is where should i get the vacuum for the boost gauge i thought i need to hook up to the line the mbc is on now but if i do should i tap in to it before or after the mbc ? comprende ?? any help will be greatly appreciated

you can install it anywhere that sees boost pressure

on the top of the intake manifold, at the back of it there is a nipple that goes to the boost gauge on the gauge cluster. thats the best bet.

yup yup thats where mines hooked into. its for the stock r33 boost gauge.

i cant find that nipple (pics pleas)? ive tried to hook it up to the fpr and still got no boost reading so i hooked it up in line with the w/g actuator but still nothing

if you arent getting a boost reading off those two you are

1) doing something wrong

2) have a broken gauge

i blew into the gauge and it was moving but when i tried sucking it lol it didnt move vacuum is suction so the gauge must be broken then or something. its a vdo gauge

[Joe]

lolhook it up to your engine. your mouth is not a pressure/vacuum tester.

[jrb92se]

lolol i did first ut got no reading thats why i did the mouth vacuum test lol

thank you very much for getting the pic for me but i really cannot tell were on the i/t mani that nip is. i think that i ahve a broken gauge im gonna return it monday and just have xat hook it up......but really thanks alot thats sweet you got a pic asap like that nico is the shi@

[Cpt_Impossible]

near the top of the back of the intake manifold next to the aac valve and idle adjustment screw. Trace your hard lines along the firwewall and they should lead you right to it as in the pic.

[jrb92se]

found that nipple it has a vacuum line that runs to the pcv system above the turbo i hooked the gauge up to it and it still didnt work also the nipple on my mani is just a little brass tube its not a threaded fitting like in the pic i think i have a broke gauge

[jrb92se]

the back of my manifold is a little different then the one pictured its supposed to be a stage 2 rb25det r33 engine so i dont know why it would be different

[jrb92se]

[jrb92se]

might want to watch who you say that type of stuff to. carl has been around the RB game a LOT longer than you have and knows a ton more about RB's than 98% of the people on this board.

[jrb92se]

he doesnt have to be a d!ck though it was uncalled for im just trying to learn more about my car so i effed up and called something the wrong thing im a newb to rb you know that you answer all my q's

[Carl H]

i was being sarcastic man, besides any fast and the furious refrence is funny...glad you found your answer.

i live my life a quarter mile at a time

[jrb92se]

sorry i thought you were just trying to be a d!ck because im a newb. i didnt buy my car because of fnf i never saw it and drifting isnt appealing to me. i bought the car to avoid having to put my blue hatch into the shop for a new engine and not having a ride to work so it was logical to buy a car that was already done and the xat guys worked out a great deal for me on it. ive been reading up on the rb on meggala and nico im learning just give me some time ill be up to speed. again i apologize. but this is off topic dont want to get locked so....
