G60 ECU Vacuum pipe (1M)

[Shaggy 0]

Can somebody tell me what would happen if the 1m long ecu vacuum pipe was either too short or too long?? I have heard of leaks in the system but what would happen if the pipe not at the correct length?

 

WOuld this play havoc with the ecu?

 

Cheers

i guess so yes,as it would register more or less vacuum or boost.

I remember using different lengths of pipe on my actuator on my metro turbo to increase the boost :oops:

+/- 10mm No there will be no signs.

I had one that was 10cm too short and it made a difference when i got the correct length pipe on there :-)

It just occured to me last night that if i am at the limit of my map sensor at 15 psi that a shorter ecu vacuum would effect my car more than others as i am making greater boost. i am going to conduct an experiment tonight and put on a new vacuum pipe which is exactly 1m long and see what the old one measures. :-)

just measured my one, its 25mm longer than it should be @ 1025mm??

 

Anyone know what the correct Internal Diameter should be?

3.2mm

The odd thing is that the original pipe from new was rarley 1000mm, often much shorter!
