Hey guys i have a 93 240... and i recently put a turbo on it first of all it has super high miles (200) but ran mint when i picked it up, im running a top mount turbonitics t4 turbo with 38mm waste gate and a turbo xs bov and a pretty big front mount intercooler any way back to my question i am running the vaccume lines in the car now and i have a Tee on the brake booster with one stde being the brake booster and the other side being the side of my wastegate, i have my manual boost controller connected to the top of the wastgate and a hose comming from the boost controller to the the nipple of the cold side of the turbo then i have the boost gauge conected to the a metel line in back of the intake manifold, and my bov is on the charge pipe with a vacuume line comming fom one of the lines that run infront of the motor another thing i did was take off that thingy (i have no idea whats if called but it had a coupple of vacuume lines on it but i pluged it and it located in the bay on the drivers side) also i took off the charcol box and plugd the 2 lines that run accross the motor and i left the one going to the gas tank open. another thing is where dose the shaped hose go to right now i just have it hanging there and the last thing is where should i connect my vacuume line for my fule pressure regulator go to

SOme one Please HELP!!!! or at least tell me if im on the right track

I deleted your double post and just, renamed the thread to make more sense.

Also if you could please re ask this question by making it easier to read, and emphasize a little more on your setup pictures would be good too.

Another thing is all of this has been covered before. We have a sticky on top that says Read Here First, and the search option on here is one of the best ones too. I'm sure you will find answers to most of your questions in those two places.

Other then that Welcome To Nico.

Thanks,Mike

Wow that was hard to read.

•The brake booster tee should be used only for your blow off valve or boost gage, not the wastegate.•The wastegate side port should be connected to the compressor of the turbo or anywhere beween the turbo and the throttle body. Leave the top port of the wastegate open.•The boost controller should be between the wastegate and where-ever you have the boost signal as described above.•The fuel pressure regulator should be plugged into where-ever the oem fuel pressure regulator was...usually one of the vacumme lines on the back of the intake manifold.•The boost gage is commonly teed off from the fuel pressure regulator. •I have no idea what the "shaped hose" is, perhaps you can describe where it comes from or post a pic.

thanks man im going to try it right now, ill take pic and post with in an hour

p.s sorry if it was hard to read

ok first i founf the nipple on the back of the intake manifold then i ran a tee to and on one side of that tee i have my boost gauge and on the other it is connected my fule pressure regluator

next i found the brake booster line and i connected a tee to it and ran a hose to my blow off valve

lastly i connected a hose to the side of the waste gate and the other end went to my bc then i connected a hose to the turbo housing AND the other end went to the bc

(i put my finger over the hose connected to the turbo housing and started the car to make shure it was vacume and it wasnt it was blowing air)

so after i did all of this i started the car nothing happened the waste gate didnt open, the bov didnt go off and the boost gauge was reading 20 psi (vac) and when i rev the engine the car the gauge whent to (vac 30)

pictures comming soon

I wanna go Fast

You can run everything off the brake booster if you want. I had my blow off valve, and wastegate off the brake booster. I had my boost gauge running from the fpr vacume line.

[MagicKa]

u mean adding muiltable tees off ther brake booster......... what would i run my waste gate vacume too?

[MagicKa]

this it the hose comming off the the nipple on tthe intake manifold, screw driver points to the tee with a hose going to the fule pressure regulator and on the other side being my boost gauge

[MagicKa]

this is my waste gate and i have the top port open and the side port with a hose on it witch connects it to the manual bc and a smaller line from the manual bc to the nipple on the cold side of the turbo

[MagicKa]

this is the Big S shaped hose i dont know wher this gos

[MagicKa]

this is my bov and i have no idea where this hose should go, as you guys can see im new to this type of thing and i really am happy that you guys are helping me ....... well what should i do now im realy confused

Your FPR and boost gauge vacuum lines are fine. As for the rest of the stuff:

1. Oil feed/drain: What is that thick rubber hose going to your turbo's center section? If it's the oil drain, it has to be facing downwards. If it's the oil feed, I'm speechless.

2. Wastegate: Leave the top port open. The side port vacuum line should go to a fitting on the compressor side of the turbo. If you don't have one, tap one in.

3. MBC: I really suggest you don't run it for now. Let's see how the car does with the current wastegate spring.

4. S-Shaped Hose: One side of this hose, or any hose you use to replace it, goes to the tube where your BOV is currently sitting at. The other side of the hose goes to the idle control valve tube, which is next to the throttle body.

5. BOV: Remove it from it's current location (that's where the s-shaped hose goes). Weld a flange somewhere into the intercooler piping and install the BOV there. Run the BOV vacuum line to the brake booster's vacuum line.

Good luck and keep us posted.

lmao ya i know the turbo drain plug gose on the bottom, this is a crapy turbo that can off my friends civic and im just using it for now so i dont ruin my new one

ok so i have the stock fule presure regulator , my artermarket regulator and my boost gauge runing off of the vacuume nipple of the intake manifold and when i turn on the car it reads 20 psi vac and when i rev it it reads 30psi vac

i have the vac line (the bigger one) that goes to the charcal filter connected to the bov

lastly my car is starting to over heat for some reasons

what now?

[MagicKa]

i connected the vacume line straight to the side port of the wg but still nothing

also my car has a rough idle it turns on and then engine light comes on then car just shuts off

[MagicKa]

dont keep me hanging guys

[S13FX]

Is your maf sensor connected?

[MagicKa]

yup it is on........ my main problems are that my car keeps shutting off, overheating and my bov and wg wont open

I think you need to do a lot more reading before trying to install a turbo. You can't come to the website, and then ask everyone to walk you through the install. There are plenty of links and good reads that should allow you to do the entire install without really needing to any questions.

That's exactly how I did it, and the only I had came once everything was installed and I was dumping fuel. Turned out to be a mis-wired MAF. Otherwise, all the information you need is available for you to read.

*On a side note, why do people type questions without punctuation? We're not on AIM or something similar. Take some time to think about what you're typing on your computer and then use punctuation!

Thanks and good luck with your reading!
