I have a little question can anyone tell me where the vac hose from the little module under the bonnet on the drivers side goes to?? this is on an R32 GTR

because my aftermarket boost gauge is T pieced into this and the line had split a little and while fixing i accidently pulled on the line a little hard and it has now come off from the engine end, and for the life of me i can not find where it goes... can anyone help me out with this??

the 3mm vac hose was getting a bit weak and i was always thinking to replace it but could never see where it went always looked like it went down behind the engine but when it was pulled out it is not as long as i thought it was so it cant go to far around. i know i could rig this up to any vac line but there is a vac connectiong constantly venting.. hehe the worst thing is i have no boost!!!! feels like an NA now :D

any help would be really appreciated cheers :D

My GTR came into Oz with a high idle and it took me quite awhile to find a crack in that little hose which was 'hidden' by one of its supports. A few dollars at Clark Rubber for some replacment hose and all fixed.

Anyway, the hose connects to a fitting right at the backof the manifold close to the head - I think it's actually on the back of the last throttle body and the fitting points towards the firewall. It's quite hard to see, so use a torch and you might have to push some of the cables, etc in that area to one side to get access.

Cheers

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
