Where to hook the bov and the boost gauge

[tvmendoza]

Hello, i did my search and i found that i can hook it to the TR or RT or something like that but the problem is i am mexican and i do not have a idea what or where is that. I have a 95 240sx there is a botle on the right corner(front view) that has a line in and another out, that is where i was planning to hook it. What do you guys think or where can i plug it. Please be as explicit as possible and if you have a picture that will be great. Thanks in advanceTona

Take a pic for you tomorrow if no1 does it before me. It's your fpr line. coming off your intak mani by the 4th runner.

that bottle is prolly the carbon canister..it has a vacuum line

[tvmendoza]

So i can use that bottle?? or should i get one closer to the intake mani or it just does not matter.

T this vacuum block off the brake booster line...and you have vacuum ports you can use for everything. i am currently using it for bov, wastegate, msd btm, boost gauge, virtual exhaust system from ATP. 5/6 are being used. wonder what the last one will be

That looks great and would solve many problems for the original poster but I myself have a few question.

1: Does it have to be that vac line or will any one do?2: Have you noticed any effect to braking since you are using that line?3: Have there been any negative effects to anything?

Just curious, looks like a great product, just want to check for trade offs and so on.

Only draw back from using the brake line is that if you get a vacuum leak or the T pops off your brakes are gone!! I use clamps and zip ties to make sure it doesn`t come off.

[Craving4Boost]

the T fitting they give you only fits the brake booster line as you can see the hole on the side of the vacuum block is fairly large...(but at least you know its getting lots of vacuum). if you want to use another line i guess you can use a union fitting to decrease the size. my brakes are fine...it works perfectly normal. the brake booster line is very thick and TOUGH...once u get that fitting on..it will not come off. a zip tie wont even do nothing because the line is so thick. a clamp would help but is not necessary.



its a big mess, sorry, but just wanted to show you how it looked like. you should be more creative on where to put it lol unlike me

Hello, thanks Craving4boost and everyone who made an effort to help me, I pluged my wastegate directly to the turbo(the hole on the cold side) can i hook up there my bov and my boost gauge?? Well right now i have the bov working but i will prefer to hook my boost gauge on another place.

That vacuum block is nice, but for the money, I'd just use T-s off more appropriately sized vacuum sources.

TV: the BOV and boost gauge need to be sourced from the intake mani. Well the boost gauge doesn't necessarily need to be, but you will then only see pressure in the intercooler piping as opposed to the intake mani where it matters. If you attach the BOV signal to the intercooler piping, it will never open. The BOV opens when there is pressure in the intercooler piping, and vacuum in the intake mani(which occurs when you close the throttle during boost).

When I had my S14, I had a 5 port T-fitting on the FPR line from the intake mani. Attached the boost gauge, BOV, and wastegate to it.

If you look in this picture you will see a open line next to the brake line. You could T of that line and use it for your vacuum source and it would be easy to access.

[Craving4Boost]

that line is not suppose to be open...what do you use for the FPR?

[DammitBobby]

Oh I know it is suppose to be closed off. I left it off on purpose because I will be using it for my electronic boost gauge.

[tvmendoza]

I put two T's on the FPR one for the bov and one for the boost gauge

Eso es lo que yo iba a recomendar. Now boost
