scooby_doo_do Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I'm going to have a play and try an attempt to fit this myself... Its actually a manual boost controller, but i'm guessing they are the same thing... Has anyone got any pics of what pipe i need to cut to fit it ? and any other installation tips would be helpfull.. Thanks. Craig, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Not done it on my supe but fitted an EBC to my 200SX, basically on the SX the boost solenoid (manual boost valve) went in the line just ahead of the actuator on the turbo......... think the supra has it's own factory solenoid rather than an actuator for controlling boost so you'd put the valve in the line just ahead of that (before the turbos I mean). hth, Brian.

scooby_doo_do Posted March 20, 2004 Author Share Posted March 20, 2004 Any idea or this one then chaps....

cashpoint Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Craig Whey do you want a bleed valve you've got AVC-R in your car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 Na, Had the apexi bits taken out to pay for my engine mounts that went Back to school again........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 everyone agree with the blue pipe ? As i'm about to cut its belly open..... Craig, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Looking at that pic, the thing that the blue pipe goes into on the left hand side of the pic looks like a boost limiting VSV, and the right hand side end goes to the turbo actuator.......... there should be another hose from the turbo actuator to the turbo (or some kind of inlet pressure source) - this is the hose you want to put the valve in line with afaik, not the blue one in the pic.

Supra ST Myster Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 this pic shows you which pipe it is. Hose 2, the other pipe goes to a manual boost controller inside the car so you dont need that, just goes in between hose 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 which i belive is the blue pipe!???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 Hasn't turned up yet, But as i've just found out it isn't a bleed valve such to speak, its a manual boost controller which looks like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2468678673&category=32094 So i take it, it still goes in the same place ? Doh.... My bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Thats a piss poor manual boost controller:innocent: It must have cost all of 2quid to make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 lol....As i said... not that one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 again belive it goes in the same place, that one that you posted a pic of has a ball bearing in it with a small hole at the top so the tighter you screw it in the harder it is to push the ball bearing pass the hole to bleed it off.

Ian C Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 The blue pipe goes from the wastegate actuator to the wastegate VSV. The wastegate VSV shuts at a set boost pressure so the wastegate only opens once the factory preset amount of boost has been reached. This stops the tailoff of boost buildup as the wastegate creeps open under manifold pressure like the MkIII Supra had. Anyway, my point is that you can put the bleeder in there, or the hose that goes from the turbo housing to the actuator, it doesn't matter as air leaking out of either hose would cause a pressure drop in the actuator. The blue hose is way more accessible so I'd put it there. Don't go mad on how wide you open the bleeder at first -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 ok...I cut the blue pipe and put it on... Drove..Twisted it.... Drove some more...Twisted it.... Drove some more.... Twisted it....Drove some more.... Won't twist anymore Still 0.7 bar... I think i'll try and put it on the other pipe when the engine's cooled down - As the back of my hand just found a nice hot pipe... Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 whhhooooooohooooooooo.... Boost all the way :-) Me happy again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 so what did you do in the end, did you fit that manual boost valve that you showed in the pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 Yep... I had to fit it to the other pipe that goes from the turbo to the actuator (think thats right).. It was just to the right of that blue pipe in the pic.. Just need to have a clean up of the pipes as its a little untidy at the moment because i didn't want to cut anything in case it was the wrong pipe.. Thanks for all your help chaps..
