If this connection was loose it could/would cause the tune to be lean. If you reconnect it would/could cause the tune to be lean?
I will need to check mine to see if the zip tie is still there and then replace it with a worm gear hose clamp. |

. Adding complexity to this is what your ECU does to try to correct via LTFTs . Long story short ..... never tune with a boost leak . |
FYI: heres a video of what that leak would sound like in the bay..its a pretty distinct sound

http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y21...306_112522.mp4 hmm... Mine sounds very similiar to that except I was assuming mine was just my intake making that sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LXgI...el_video_title I'll follow my Jet air hose to confirm its still attached |
Thanks Greg . Also added a dyno to the 2nd post to show what the effect on power of this hose blowing off is .
|
very hard to tell on yours..that greddy intake is pretty noisey
|
^ Considering that is before I even had teh wheels back on the car I'd guess my hose is still attached (and I still havent hit a positive manifold pressure either). I'll still take a look at it and most likely put a house clamp on it.... Is it possible to get one on it with just the air pump removed?
|
if you remove the air pump its pretty easy to access
|
beauty.... Thanks
|
Brettus that engine bay looks like it could use a wipe down...:rofl:
|
/\ hehe - was looking at that myself - shamefull . Have not touched it in over a year .
|
Also see this thread for some additional clips of how it sounded for me. It gave a distinct and annoying whining noise.

Either way I fired the engine up and the only sound I could hear like the videos is coming directly from the GReddy intake. So I am assuming that my Jet Air is still in place; but like I said I have not hit any positive manifold pressures yet and my car is currently parked until the snow melts off the roads. |
the hose you are tracing toward the fuel rail is the OMP line.
|
THANK GOD for this thread and thank you NGO.... So I went out and looked again and I traced the hose which I thought was the OMP line and it meets up with the Steel line exactly where the picture dictated (still connected). So turns out I had my Jet Air hose and OMP hose mixed.... on the plus side should be an easy fix.
Also I believe this little swap should not have affected my Data logs for Jeff at all. Any opinions on this? I was hoping to get my next map on tuesday or thursday when he does the Live chat sessions. I am still on the base map so I only have a log at idle and cruise (no boost, no WOT). |

Also - do you need to change your post on the first page showing which hose is which ? |
Yup post fixed ... and I will be hose clamping the jet air thats for sure... it lookes pretty easy to reach with the air pump gone. And yeah my OMP would be seeing boost had I gotten that far haha.
Yeah I realize the logs are better if the hoses are proper but I just can't get another log right now and was hoping that it wouldn't make a big deal so I could get a 4.01 log from MM on tuesday. I'll have to take it up with him during the session to be 100% clear. |

Okay so I swapped around my Jet Air hose and OMP hose.... now I am getting a loud whining sound from the intake. Upon further investigation it is coming from the line on the top of my intake closest to the front of the vehicle; the line has a large amount of suction at idle... wtf is going wrong here? The line that is making the whining is the OMP breather line as it goes behind the alternator and then toward the back of the bay between the LIM and UIM near the fuel rail.
Here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jxc498WVMPk |
nothing to do with the tee you have going to the boost solenoid ?
|
Dont believe so... I mean you can clearly hear the noice stop when I was blocking off the OMP hose so.... The OMP hose is supposed to be under vacuum at idle right?
|
ok - yes there is vacuum from mine as well but only a very small amount nothing like what you are getting .
|
Damn... no suggestions for that hey? The suction on mine is not that strong... but you can hear it when I put my thumb off and on the end... I guess I can try and go screw around with it some more
It didnt start making that high pitched noise untill the car was warm too btw |

It could be to do with a faulty oil injector - some kind of resonance vibration from the check valve maybe :dunno:
