Whats up guys.... I pretty much finished up with my swap yesterday but still have to figure out what to do as far as the 4 vacuum lines that are on the last intake runner.... Anyone know??Nismo1182??

I started her up at like 8:45 last night and was surprised to hear it actually start.... this thing sounds like a frickin V8 or somethin...definately not at all like my KA... now all i gotta do is take care of the downpipe and make a bracket for the throttle cable...... now off to the hardware store..... take it easy:ylsuper

ok vacum line help, i will make a how to tutorial soon with pictures!

back of the plenumn, plenum to hose to a TEE, then one hose to the fuel pressure regulator, the other hose to the butter fly control valve...

then the one behinf the throttle cable wheel... from fittin on plenumn to hose then to a TEE , from their one way to your boost gauge, the other way to your BOV...

thats is it.

the little fittin under the throttle plate, block it off, the hard lines towards the back of the plenum can be removed.

does this help any?

any questions just hit me up on AIM slw240sx . if im not in leave a message and ill get to yah soon as possible

Good to see a Ca swap up and running. The SR is overplayed now, IMO. If i do a swap, I'd like to have a CA, j ust to be different, but I'd like to have my car be a true 180sx.
