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??

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
