Vaughany Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Hi I was cleaning my engine bay today and I noticed that I have a hose that is connected at one end but it is not connected at the other. There is a pipe that it can connect ot but I dont want to do this until I am sure it should be on there. Unfortunately I did not carryout the install so I am not sure if this should be connected on a single install. I have attached some ppitctures, you will see the one end of the hose connected, and you will see a pipe next to this where the the other end of the hose could connect. Can someone please tell me what this is and should I connect the pipe. I am not sure if this is just a part of the old sequential system and is now redudant. The area is at the back of the engine bay down the left hand side as you look at it. Someone please help, pictures below [img]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/benandjoe/DSC00154.jpg[/img] [img]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/benandjoe/DSC00152.jpg[/img] [img]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/benandjoe/DSC00153.jpg[/img] [img]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/benandjoe/DSC00159.jpg[/img] [img]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/benandjoe/DSC00156.jpg[/img] [img]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/benandjoe/DSC00153.jpg[/img] [img]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/benandjoe/DSC00150.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 That looks like one of the two pipes that go the the pressure tank - used only in the sequential system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughany Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 Thanks Jake Can I forget about it, is there anyone will a single install who can check and confirm this for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Yeah it is the pressure tank pipe, I just checked See attached view from behind the engine : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 So what is the other pipe connected to? I wouldn't have thought either of them would be of any use on a single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughany Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 Jake I assume I can just pull the hose off then and dont need to cap it off or anything. thanks mate, you saved my life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Ah! Think I've just twigged! I think you'll find that Leon connected the pipes together in a loop, just to cap them off like, and one end of the pipe has come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughany Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 The silicone pipe is coming off one of the small metal pipes (see pictures above) looking at your explanation, this would then lead to the sequential turbos. I didnt know if the loose end had to be connected to the other small metal pipe to act as a return. hope this makes sense, hopefully someone with a single install will be able to check on there install and confirm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondjump Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 The silicon tubing probably joined both pipes together and it's slipped off one of them....just pop it back on (thats what i did for my single conversion). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I didnt know if the loose end had to be connected to the other small metal pipe to act as a return. It won't matter if it's not connected or capped off because the pressure tank isn't used anymore, it's just tidier and looks more professional.

JustGav Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 It doesn't do anything, I folded mine round so they are out of the way... Yes it is for the pressure tank, not used at all in a single installation Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jacob Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I gotta a couple questions and thought they were similar to this thread so I copied/pasted from my Cressida forum. Cheers, Jago hey guys, I need you help with identifying some 2JZGTE wiring and components. I just need to know if I can ditch some of this or is it necessary for the motor (yes I will look at the mk4 tsrm too). I needs your help This one is kind of a tough one since it has been cut .. . thanks venus-auto This next one looks like it is a part of the sequential/VSV/actuator mess .. . I am hoping that I can just toss it. I remember seeing any of these wiring looms hanging off side. Here's more suspected VSV/Actuator junk. I looped it off, but can I just ditch the can on the left???? Here, I am wondering what to use to cap this giant tub off with cuz I don't think I can loop it anywhere. It seem to be a part that is on the 1jz as well. Actually I am wonder what people are capping water and vac lines off with? This is a what am I thing for the MK3 R154 . . . so yeah what are these 2 things, what do they do, and do I need them? This is a where should it go . . . suggestions??? Thanks guys. I will be reading up on the diagrams and manuals soon enough. These are just some loose ends that need to be tied up before the motor goes in its home.

Ian C Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Pic 1 - don't know Pic 2 - One of those is the wastegate VSV, three are sequential system, if you are going single turbo then junk them. Pic 3 - Pressure tank, sequential system stuff, you can junk it all if going single. Pic 4 - That's the idle control valve. If you block it off your car won't start or idle It needs a filtered air input, most single conversions switch it to a smalle K&N filter. Pic 5 - Speed sensor and something else, possibly reverse light switch? Not so sure. Hope that helps, any more questions please start a thread up in Non-Supra Technical and you'll get some good responses I'm sure -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jacob Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Very cool. Thank you. I took all of it off that I could. Removing that tank free up a lot of space for messing with the starter . . . I need all the space that I can get with the LHD steering on that side as well. One of the tranny wires was connected to a thing that said skid control . . . I guess that I should have looked a little closer #4-- I will check out some pics on some conversions. I will post in the appropiate forum nextime.
