Something I've learned... not a good idea to replace this hose!


Recommended Posts

So while my car was getting repaired, I was pointed out to a hose which i replaced with an aftermarket M&H hose. It's just a vacuum hose so I thought nothing of it, and didn't know any differently really. However, on further inspection, there is a one way valve in it which controls vacuum one way and not the other, and has effect on the braking system while on boost, so it's pretty important.

So I'll put it back on tomorrow and see what difference it makes to the braking.

Cheers Rick for the heads up!!

hahaha ummm yea. we all have it, mine is at the brake booster end of that line. your booster wont hold any vacuum. you would have to stand on the brakes harder when on boost, wont be so bad if your decelerating, i have heard of accidents been caused by people removing that one way valve lol.

Generally any hose with a restrictor pill in it will be marked with a white stripe around the aera the pill is located, just like the ones on some wastegate lines ;)

well that depends there are 2 diff types of SC a cetrifugal type and a screw type, the screw is always on + boost but the cent. that HKS has developed for scoobys does use vac...its pretty much a belt-driven turbo...

I'm going through replacing all the vacuum lines in my rsk b4 and wondering if there will be any pills that I need to look out for. I'm just doing all the.ones from BBoD outwards.

why would you need brakes on boost? that's like having an oven in your fridge

brakes will still work on boost if the one way valve isnt leaking - the booster should still have vacuum in it while on boost (when the valve shuts) - brakes will work for 1 or 2 pumps untill the vac is diminished then no more untill valve opens to let vac back into it - just like when u turn the car off

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
