Anyone have knowledge/direction to find more info for this Vacuum Switch Solenoid regarding its function on the intake. Its on lower left side of intake runners, before the 2 VIAS control solenoids.










The part is labelled as Nissan k5t46588. Searching for it all i can find is Vacuum Switch Solenoid and a bunch of import sites. I called Courtesy Nissan and they could not give me any further information other than its not a north american part.

On the vacuum piping parts diagram for the a35 maxima there is nothing shown in the place where it is attached.



Just shows the 2 VIAS solenoids and the purge solenoid, not this 4th one.

The plenum i have is supposed to be off a 2014 maxima, but this solenoid is apparently for a Cefiro or Teana.

I will be modding this setup for a 2k2 and am just figuring out my options for wiring and would like to know the purpose and function of this switch.

Also if anyone can post an image of the left side of control runners on a 2009+ so i can see how the american version is connected before the VIAS switches i would appreciate it.

No one?

Any good ideas where i can post to chat with a Nissan master tech or something?

Any 5.7 gen swappers run into this?

I know i can bypass this several ways and have it work, I am just looking to find more info as i think it may be useful down the road as the 5.7 swap becomes more common, and/or what im up to moving to a 75mm throttle body with a matching larger plenum.

I am also still looking for some close up shots of the 09+ maxima intake runners as most images i've found either have the cover on, or don't show angles that reveal what i'd like to see, if anyone can help me out with that I'd greatly appreciate it.

Think i may have found the american counterpart.





14955x top left corner. Seems to be in the right location. Gonna keep hunting for a more definitive answer.

This diagram is for engine and transmission mounting.

Guess i'll continue my solo conversation in case it helps anyone in the future.

Found my definite answer.







Its the motor mount control solenoid. Guess it will be eliminated after all for my application.
