need some pics please

[joe3180]

can someone send me or post pics of their motor? i need pics of the vac lines. from the throttle body and from the wastegate and where they go. it seems the s14 is a bit differant in this feature and i just wanna see what u guys got hooked up to what. oh its a s13 sr20det. thanks alot. my email is [email protected] if you can please send me those pics. thank you so much

I can describe it to you. Top left nipple to fpr. Top right nipple to bov. Bottom nipple can be blocked or to charcoal canister.

cool. that works for that part. how bout the hoses for the wastegate and all? and what is this part? (see pic) right now it is hooked up to my throttle body....teed off from my fpr.

the wastegate should get is signal from a nipple on your hotpipe, what part of the car is that pic showing, it might be the stocl recirc valve, but Im not sure Ive never seen one

that thing is installed on the intake side of the motor on the same bracket as the ignitor chip. it has 2 vac hoses comming off of it. one is teed off to the throttle body and the other goes to the nipple on my intake before the turbo but after the maf. im not sure what it is but maybe its the wastegate control solenoid valve....best guess from lookin at the s14 fsm. any clue guys? so the wastegate should only be gettin its vac from the hotpipe or just any pressureized source?

That is the stock boost pressure sensor i think...picture is a bit odd to look at. You can get rid of it if you'd like.

But for your wastegate, it really depends if you're still on stock smic or fmic. On fmic depending if you have a custom hotpipe from Heavy throttle or some other shop that has a nipple on the hotpipe then you can use that nipple for your wastegate, otherwise if you're on stock smic then the nipple is on the cold pipe.

ok...heres what i got now.... wastegate to the boost controler, boost controler to the cold pipe nipple, fpr is left alone to the throttle body, throttle body to the bov has 2 tees, one to the boost controler and other to another tee, and one part goes to boost gauge and other to my f-con's boost sensor. i think everything is hooked up right now. i got rid of that thing in the picture now. thanks for the help tho.

Wow, this brings up a question from me, also pretains to vaccum lines. My Hot pipe nor cold pipe have a nipple for the wastegate vaccum line, so what should I do? I've got the top/left running to FPR and boost gauge...Top/Right going to BOV and canister. Bottom going to Canister. I think I have it way wrong. I've read that is how it should go, but it seems I've been had...

it doesn't matter which one you run anything off of. All of those outlets work off of the same manifold pressure. You could run your FPR from the bottom one if you wanted, and it would work fine.

I run my wastegate off of my TB nipples. It's t'd with my BOV signal line. I've been running that way and have had no spiking issues for 2 years now. The only issue I have to worry about is that the since thw wastegate is reading pressure after the IC, it's getting the pressure drop that comes with running air through the IC, so while I might be getting 12 PSI read on my boost gauge, it's probably running closer to 13-14 PSI.
