Ok I am close to finishing the GTR , but there are a few parts that are missing or not standard so I am a bit confused . My 25DET i can build in the dark but this is my first 26DETT .

Of the four exits from the camshaft/rocker covers I have 1 that leads to no where . the hot side/right side/turbo side is ok and the other 2 i know link together - but the left cold side pipe goes no where , i see on the Autech Stagea that the pipe returns to the balance tube below the injector wire plastic container , but mine is blanked off , it also dose not have a catch tank so i am stuck as to where to plumb it , any ideas or pictures to help would be greatfully accepted as i am now without car since the Stagea det`ed on no 2 cylinder . cheers all

OK so I found the valve that screws into the balance tube and have connected it to the camshaft cover breather on the drivers/right side , now what I get it the original pipe collapses under vacuum pressure ( I have inserted a copper pipe to try to stop the crushing ) , but it still crushes at the turns, and there is a strange noise coming from the right side of the engine - obviously a pressure release valve - but why and where I have no idea . It is constant even when driving - the faster you go the quicker it repeats !:mad:

As a NOTE :-
I have had to screw the air valve ( bolted to underside of the inlet plenum ) all the way in - as I made the mistake of cleaning the Throttle body`s inside on the rebuild .
I did not realise that Mitsubishi made the Throttle body`s :mad: under contract for Nissan . They defiantly did not do as good a job as they would have for themselves I`m sure ! , massive gaps around the Butterfly`s .
Now I would think that a smooth flow of air and a creation of some sort of vortex where the fuel and air meet would be the go , but after cleaning all parts of the throttle body`s it seems that this dose more harm than good !! .
Tomie Throttle body sealant has just arrived so it`s off with the lot AGAIN !

Any ideas or similar experience greatly received , who knows what may help as a suggestion . :rolleyes:;)
