So I started with the swap yesterday, using all 5th gen parts..Uim, Lim, fuel rail, injectors, tb, valve cover, and coils. I got everything off and put on the new valve cover, coils, 5th gen lower im and new injector plugs. I got the LIM from someone in like great britian and it looks a little different than the ones ive seen around the org. I also got the fuel rail and injectors from GB, but it looks like the fuel rail mounts dont line up with the wholes in the LIM.....Im gonna have to figure something out.... but i got two more problems as well. I remember reading (but don't remember where) about the passenger side nipple on the vias, i don't remember if I'm suppose to block it off or run a vac line to somewhere.....Also, for the Uim to connect to the Lim you need 3 6X1X100mm(got those bolts) and 3 6X1X130mm which i can't find anyyyyywhere. (nissan said it will be about a week till i can get em) Would it be drivable till i got hold of the bolts?....Im goin to work on the whip again....ill be back in a little.

......figured out ^^^^^on my own but ran into one more problem... on the rear passenger side of the front valve cover, there is a large nippe. Anybody know what its for/where it goes?

maxgp1029

.........no one?

Brake booster.
What did you figure out? YOU NEED AT LEAST 3 BOLTS, I would not drive w/o um. NONE of the vias nipples need to go to a vacuum source; the most inner one can go to a fresh air source or can be left alone. I don't understand why the fuel rail and lower IM don't match up if they came from the same car, did you get jipped? Any pics?

LOL
In europe they have different engine set up. ie we have 190 HP they have 197, and MEVI is a standard there

maxgp1029

its not a mevi, its a 00vi from GB but its a smaller version.. the US power rod doesn't fit inside its too big..... but that huge nipple coming out of the front valve cover is the brake booster? I thought that was the house running across the fire wall?....Also the other nipple on the rear valve (not the pcv) what does that hook up to?

If I'm interpreting what you're saying correctly, then those nipples on the valve covers (passenger side) are for the PCV system... not the PCV valve itself but just the hose connecting the two valve covers.

Post some comparison pics up of the UK manifold(s) if indeed they're that different!

maxgp1029

Yea ill def post some pics after....so the nipple on the front valve cover and the nipple on the rear valve cover go to each other?....I'm about to drop on the uim right now then time to run vac...

Kev, you know better than that. It's PCV-related (like Dan said)
Yes, those two nipples connect. Just run a hose from one to the other. You could probably re-use the stock hose, but I'd put a new one in. Mine was cracked when I took it off.

maxgp1029

^ Yea mine was cracked too, I just picked up some new hose. I'm gonna route all the vac lines and put the plugs back in....anything that doesn't go smooth ill let you know about in a bit. Thanks for the help..

maxgp1029

I finished getting everything on did a double look and went to turn the key...the motor turned over but wouldn't start...and the clutch sounded squeakey...but yea i checked over all the plugs,vac lines, injectors everything is good but no start...any ideas?

maxgp1029

also i cut the wires on the iacv going to the egr (its blocked off), and i plugged a house carrying coolant to the 4th gen tb.....would any of this cause the no starts?

Tatanko

iTrader: (34)

No, none of those things would make it not start. By the way, hook those EGR wires back up (I'm assuming you mean for the EGR temp. sensor). You'll get a code unless you leave it hooked up, that is, unless you're planning on tricking it using resistors or something.

Did you remember to put the fuel pump fuse back in?

maxgp1029

idk.....when I turn the key to run, there is this thing that might of been bolted on to the stock manifold by 2 bolts (i dont remember). I know it was metal with a big brown cap/plug. it was running a vac line to the stock manifold and has a couple other lines running to it. but yea when u turn the key to run it makes this weird noise kind of a grinding sound but not really? right now its hangin free on the top of the manifold with no vac source from the manifold...what is that thing and could it be a problem?

also check your fuel injector fuse. Its the 10A fuse in the box beside the battery. itll either say INJ or something like that or ECC2

ghostmax301

iTrader: (7)

I believe thats the EVAP purge valve your talking about, it should still work without that
did you makes sure the wires are grounded GOOD

Tatanko

iTrader: (34)

You don't know? Then look. It's kind of important No fuel = not gonna start.

Check all the other things ghostmax mentioned as well.

maxgp1029

I was sayin "Idk" meanin idk why it wont start. I already checked both fuel fuses and nothin. Still not startin. Dont know what else it could be

iTrader: (36)

Meh finals today I misread, I thought he said rear pass side of the IM and not VC

Tatanko

iTrader: (34)

Perfectly acceptable, I know how that can be

maxgp1029

...Yea i swear i put that 15A fuel fuse back in, but i guess i didn't. When i popped it in she started right up!.. I got a little vac leak in the brakes, everytime i push the pedal it whistles. But yea def g2g to the dyno this week and get a tune..

NmexMAX

iTrader: (22)

Sounds like you're all set. What are you going to tune with?

Tatanko

iTrader: (34)

Did you have a leak before the swap?

maxgp1029

Nope, maybe its not a vac leak. I T'd the brake booster and iacv hose together like your website showed, but some of the hoses are a little kinked. Alot of things still need mounting and a little bit of work. But yea the brakes feel like real hard to push and dont work that great alot of the time. It should all be figured out over time tho.....but yea im tunnin with the vafc 2.

Tatanko

iTrader: (34)

Whoa, whoa, whoa...what? You do NOT T the brake booster and IACV together. They should each have their own port on the manifold. The brake booster should be able to use the stock hose hooked up to the port at the very left (passenger side) of the manifold. The IACV should have it's own port near the throttlebody.

maxgp1029

I def read it on your site under 00vi>Cool ideas. Its called Curts IACV install. But i guess tomorrow im gonna have to change that and put a 1/2" nipple somewhere on the intake mani for the iacv.

Tatanko

iTrader: (34)

Good idea. Hopefully it will cure your brake problems.

Maybe I need to revise something...

maxgp1029

Ill be hitten the dyno sometime this week. I'll post up all the charts and the pictures of the G.B. manifolds. fuel rail, injectors and tb.
