R34 GTT owners! what is this in engine bay?

[BATMBL]

hi Guys

Im trying to figure out what this device is in the engine bay. I think it may be a pressure sensor, since theres two things coming out of it.

one is a hose going into the plenum, im assuming to get a reading of the pressure/boost/vacuum(whatever you want to call it), and the other is going into a plug, which im assuming goes to the ecu and tells it something about the boost/vacuum.

the reason i ask is because it was missing out of an r34 which had a PFC with the optional boost solenoid. the guy who installed it in japan ran the hose that originally come out of this stock unit, into pressure sensor which comes with the apexi soleniod. this pressure sensor is then connected with red/green/black wires back to the PFC.

The PFC is no longer in this car and it has been replaced with the standard ECU. we cant start the car as yet, as there is some engine work going on with it, so i just want to know whether i need to source this part, and if i do, from where??

MAP sensor for the factory boost gauge... I reckon...

[Bass Junky]

No Idea.

I will check this arvo and see what I can see though.

[217/r33]

yup it sure is a map sensor for boost.

there are three wires red/white/ green, the white is the sensor wire.

it also works with ur factory boost gauge.

ah ok, it seems to be that then. im assuming then i need to source one for the car, as it wont run properly?? (it has stock ecu back in it now)

[GunMetalR33]

It should run without the sensor connected. The boost gauge wont work though

[BATMBL]

yeh that did cross my mind..well when we can start the car, i should be able to tell.

im assuming this part wont be that easy to source though! maybe have to call nissan....

I have one for a r33 is if you want it, I reakon they would be the same...

[BATMBL]

thanks dude

i'll swap it with an r33 and see if its fine. if all good, i'll contact u
