Hi there.

Just wondering if anyone knows exectly what this part do? I could be searching with the wrong keywords but I can't find much details about this part in the forum and nothing much in the R34 Service Manual as well.

The tube connecting to mine has broken off and i've just reglued it back. I was looking around for used parts and and neo32 mentioned that it's only for boost cut?

I just want to know more about it before i just remove it altogether.

The part has the following details one it:

PS66-01

HITACHI BOOST SENSOR

It sits near the firewall and photos are attached on how it looks like. It is connected directly to the vacuum(orange thing)

its just for an overboost protection that the stock ecu has. if the little plastic nipple has broken off the bottom of it don't worry, just block off the vacuum line going to it, and leave the sensor plugged in. if you unplug it and remove the sensor it will throw a DTC and the engine check light will come on.

DO NOT DO THIS.

The boost sensor also is referenced mixture control (extra tables, not present in R33 ecu's), blocking it off immediately results in the car running 1-2 A/F's LEANER.

wow ^^^ that could be dangerous. Obviously 34's much more advanced in ecu

On a 32 it just does the stock boost gauge in the dash, unplugging the wire connection seems to have no effect on the tune what so ever.

they have one for the for the gauge aswell . . if it rund disgustingly rich 10 to 1 not un common then unplugging it will give a nice 12 to 1 . lol rangi but there could be somtethign behind it . there have beena few stageas that people bought with it blocked off and they havent blown up yet?

Shouldn't be a problem leaving it disconnected and getting the car retuned? Ignoring the computer codes/engine light or are there any other problems with this?

Provided it is tuned with it unplugged or blocked, it is fine. But dont unplug it unless it was set up to run that way especially with a remap or safc etc.

just curious trent as to which tables you are talking about? is it one that can been seen from in nistune or a background ecu table that can't be seen? i honestly didn't notice any difference in AFR's once disconnecting mine.

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
