My mates 1JZ has a similar thing...

Pretty sure its to do with the stock boost control system, and the guy/girl before you must've put a boost controller in and blocked off that line...

From what I know that orange thing is a vacuum reservoir or a filter like ^^ he said...

Try tracing the line back to where ever it originates, cos it could in fact be a EVAP line/carbon canister line, which is important for emissions and sh!t...

According to the service manual it is the 'air inlet pipe' that connects through a 'vacuum tank' to the 'turbo pressure sensor'. Obviously the pressure sensor is not connected at all.

Is this a bad thing? There is no boost controller in the car now although there may have been one installed by the previous owner.

In the middle photo, the bolt head is right next to a black box that looks like the boost pressure sensor. should have hitachi stamped on it. It plugs in underneath, check and see if there's a nipple there for the pipe to fit onto.

Some one has probably removed it to fool the ecu into not going into Rich and retard at higher boost.

You were spot on - there is a nipple for the pipe to fit onto. Now i'm wondering if I should reconnect it or not.

its not a filter.. it just stops pulsing in the line to give whatever it is a good reading....

You see this alot on jap BOV's and even map sensors that have issues with pulsing on the line.

Don't re-connect it unless you know what you are doing :D

And in terms of air pressure sensing, they call it a filter... :) The pulsing is referred to as "noise". And it's designed to filter out the noise.

Do you guys rekon there's any benefit to putting one of these in a pressure line to a map sensor?

I've got a map sensor on my car from the EMS Stinger. Anything that helps the computer get a more accurate load signal has got to be a good thing right??

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
