yo where in miami are you at? we have a 350z meet on monday and wednesdays on 127th and kendall drive at the home depot parking lot. I dont think i've ever seen you around but the z is looking tight, nice job.

 

Just got off the phone with Jeremy at performance factory, gave me a couple of insights in something to check out on my TN setup, will do as soon as I get home. keep u all posted. thanks jeremy

 

Looks nice!

+1 on getting the vac lines checked ASAP. Boost controllers can spell disaster if configured wrong!

 

ok here the 411... i corrected the bov which was corrected in the wrong port. however when i test drove this morning as i was going into boost the boost SPIKED to like 13 lbs and engine cut out (didnt turn off, just cut power) im like o crap, luckily nothing happend. I contacted jeremy at PF and he advised me to check my wastegate and I did so and that was also connected wrong it was connected on the top port when it supposed to be on the middle port. I corrected that then when for another test drive and SPIKE again to like 13 lbs but it goes from like 4 lbs to like 13lbs in 1 sec? I recently installed utec with map / boost sensor/controller. the vacuum line coming out of the turbo is running through the boost controller then from the boost controller to the wastegate. should I run the vaccum line from the blower to the wastegate directly until a tune? if im not mistaking if i connect it directly it shouldnt boost more than 9lbs or so right?

thanks for the help guys

 

At this point you need to take the boost control completely out of the equation before you vent your block to atmosphere. Connect the compressor outlet port DIRECTLY to the lower wastegate port (furthest from the red Turbonetics logo on the chrome diaphram housing). It should only only make 8-9 PSI MAX like that. Leave it like that until you get someone to tune the boost control for the car.

 

thanks MIA playa, check ur PM

 

ok, did what you said and its running better now. thanks p.s. does the length of the hose matter?

 

Length doesn't matter but you need to get your car back on the dyno to re-tune with the boost control.

 

whats the purpose of the hose that comes out of the driver side valve cover and goes connected to the air filter pipe on the turbonetics kit. i know that hose was connected to the factory air box and now since thats no longer there its connected to the TN filter pipe.. what happens if its unplugged etc... just trying to find out what its for..

thanks guys for all ur help

 

Its the crank case breather hose..

 

big thumbs up to rob for always being a good help.

glad you got your setup situated.
