sorry if this is a obvious question. i have searched but with no success.

bought a gtr with a blown up flywheel. need to put a new gearbox in it. after looking at the gearbox and noticing those 2 lines coming out of it (see 1st pic) ive gotten under the car and cant see any lines that might connect to these.

In saying that a few lines have been shredded from the flywheel. I have a pic of some lines i think might connect to it but not sure at all really. please help :(

The hoses on the gearbox are breathers, so largely inconsequential. Notice the bracket on the end has a hole> One of the top gearbox to engine bolts holds it in place when you install the box.

The crushed ones in the other pic are IIRC coolant (the bigger one, goes to the turbos) and at least one of the others is the vac/boost signal for the wastegate actuators. Just follow them around and you'll see what they're connected to. These ones are important so replace them.

wow. thanks so much!

with these lines, do they still matter considering the car has a t66 (no water cooling) hi mount with external wastegate. (wastegate actuator already has vacume line connected up correctly)

and if they dont do i just get rid of them and block them up. or with the coolent ones would i have to re rout them back in somewhere.

thanks again!

Yeah in that case you could probably get rid of all of them. Just check where they all go in case my memory is off and then block them off.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
