Need help sorting this mess of vacuum lines out Please.

[Turbo Habanero]

So for starters BOV is not working.

As far as i know the lines were not done right.

It has a Greedy Profec EBC and greddy BOV and boost gauge.

CT26 60-1
Lexus AFM
550cc
walbro 255
Intake
and shitty custom intercooler.

Here's pics of the mess

my bov is using this vacuum source

and works great


also where you have the 2 T's at the fpr, i dont have any T's at all :S

 

[Turbo Habanero]

so do you just run a T on that line for your BOV?

I dont know who the fuck did this to this car but i just want to get it fixed lol

 

[Kevin]

nope, the line is going straight from the hard pipe to the bov no T's

and lmao... it looks like a mess.. i'll see if i can get you some pictures tonight if i remember.

What did you do with the whole thats left in the accordian pipe?can anyone tell me What this is ? and where is the vacuum line goes?


Can anyone tell what this is and where the vacuum line can be ran ? I think i figured it out thats to my FPR gauge inside the car.

 

[Turbo Habanero]

be for i install this can someone tell me what this big hole is here in the front lol

1/8th npt hole to hook up a gauge, if you dont have a gauge for fuel pressure you will need to plug it before installing the fpr.

I tried this but it makes my car dies and idle rough but the BOV is working.

i have a different gauge that sits in the car. so can i plug this hole with a 1/8th size bolt

Can you post pictures of said FP gauge inside the car? I would remove that and put it under the hood... having a fuel line run into the cabin is a NO NO... huge fire hazard.

that is probably because the other end of the hard line isn't hooked up properly.. and judging by all the T's and such.. it most likely isn't lol.

and how do you have a working fuel pressure gauge in the car if you plug up that hole??

i wish i could just sit with our cars side by side so we can fix everything.. and btw..that vacuum line that you mentioned earlier that goes to the accordian hose is not supposed to go to the accordian hose. the accordian hose has three large adapters on top.
one going to the idle air control valve
second going to the stock bypass valve (blow off valve)
third is the pcv

and then it has a smaller vacuum nipple on the bottom.

will do in the morning its just a greddy gauge says Fuel pressure and it sits on the driver side piller. As far as i know its ran off of the T thats hooked up to the stock fuel Pressure regulator.

 

[Turbo Habanero]

to try and help as much as possible here's whats going on with the Vaccum lines

They are all tied into main FPR vacuum

RED = BOV
SKY BLUE = Greddy profec EBC
YELLOW = What seems to be FP Gauge (Not 100% Sure)
GREEN = Main Source to original FPR Vacuum

There is a line sems to be coming from the bottom of the Accordian hose its blocked off with a screw. The souce you used has a hose going to the top of the Accordian hose. Its small on the top side but tbigger where it goes into the accordian right next to the turbo.

I simply took it off the metal side and put my BOV line on that and it worked fine. but the car started running shitty until i put the intake hose back to the metal side

what a cluster f**k.

blue line> ive never seen a boost controller hooked to main vac before, should be on the turbo only.
purple line> the hole is where the stock bov use to re-circ to. as your venting to atmosphere you need to plug the hole with a bolt or something to retun that line to the bov.
yellow line > i dont know how a vacuum hose is going to register fuel pressure, looks like a electric vacuum/boost gauge sender. the fuel pressure gauge inside may be being used as a boost gauge.
that little fitting on the bottom of the accordion hose> this is for the power steering idle up. there will be a vac fitting on the PS pump. one line goes there, the other under the intake somewhere.

ill take pics and show you what its suspoe to be

 

[jetjock]

Gotta love how the ported TB source is connected directly to the manifold. Whomever did that doesn't have a clue...

 

[Enraged]

FIRST, put everything back to stock: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/TechTips/vacuum_hose.aspx

remove any extras, like the boost control or gauges, extra T's, etc. the bov should be hooked up just like stock.

once it runs in stock form, THEN go about modifying/adding things. that way, if the car runs like shit after you install the boost gauge, you know that you screwed up the boost gauge install. do it step by step, and it's a whole lot less confusing.

It also has a boost gauge inside the car .
and pictures or some type of direction woul be nice

this post and the link in the post pretty much tells you everything you need...

go back to all stock... then one by one install your boost controller, gauge, etc..
and when you T off for your gauge and stuff, try using the vacuum source near the firewall on the manifold. That's where I T'd for my gauge.
For the boost solenoid.. stick to the nipple on the turbo. basically what the stock setup uses..

 

[Turbo Habanero]

Ok so most of the vacuum lines are stock i have fiured out quite abit i think we are almost there lol.. here some new pics

Pic as requested of FP gauge and boost gauge

PICTURES OF THE THREE INTAKE HOSES JUST CURIOUS IF THEY ARE HOOKED UP RIGHT

HERE'S THE SETUP FOR THE FUEL GAUGE IN THE CAR

This a picture of the way the EBC is setup seems to be right the line i was looking at be for is for the Built in Boost gauge the EBC has

Wondering if any one can tell me why there is a blocked of line and what it should go to

FUEL LINE FOR FP GAUGE SETUP

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE IT GOES

SOME RANDOM PICS MAYBE YOU GUYS CAN POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

I DONT SEE A BVSV VALVE.. NOT SURE

 

[Kevin]

ok the one vacuum line going to the accordian intake hose is incorrect like I said before it is supposed to go to your blow off valve and then you need to plug it off since you are venting to atmosphere and not recirculating it. (plug off on the intake)
Your pcv and iacv are correct on the accordian

your bvsv appears that it has ONE giant vacuum hose going towards it. try taking it off? and see if there are two nipples hiding it there? i'm not sure where it leads to since you dont have an entire shot of the engine bay its really hard to tell where things go.
but it looks like the correct vacuum is going straight towards the charcoal canister bypassing the bvsv.
