vac source

[wild_maxx]

can the things circled below be used as vac ports for lets say a BOV, boost gauge? do i just run a silicon line from one of the nipples to the bov or boost gauge?

The one on the top or middle. The one on the bottom looks like it is before the TB so it wont due for your application. Find the port that goes to the FPR. That always runs off of manifold pressure so that would be a good starting point. Maybe one of the SOHC guys can help you out more. Good luck.~Sam

anyone know what the vac on the TB is for? and the nipple at the back in the mani can be used for vac for my FPR?

[wild_maxx]

anyone know? can i run the second line behind the TB to my BOV and the one on the read of the mani into the fpr and boost gauge?

[wild_maxx]

come on where did all the action go in the ka-t forums. i need some info here.

I couldnt really tell you what those vac lines are originally for because I'm not really that familiar with the SOHC engine, but anything that comes directly off of the intake manifold pleneum will serve as a perfectly fine vaccum. I would avoid the one right next to the throttle body though as readings from there might be a little too sensetive to throttle movements.

yes dont use the one on the throttle body but the other two are fine for bov or whatever else you need a vacuum source for. any port after the throttle body will work fine.

[wild_maxx]

but i need one for the fpr right? so can i just use a t-connection to use my boost gauge and my stock fpr? then the other one for my BOV?

[:: orion ::]

Yes, perfect, good. Do that.

What are you doing for your wastegate boost reference? Hint: "T" off the BOV line, unless you're using a signal from the compressor outlet.

i have in internal wastegate so it is already hooked up to the compressor side. this is correct right?

I would also like to know that the middle one towards the left is for. After my motor swap I for got where this vac. hose went so I just capped it off. thanks

Um.. where did you get that cool adjustable WG actuator? I want one.

[wild_maxx]

it came with the turbo. i bought the entire kit from jornda gladman for 1200 bux including the turbo, mani, oil feed lines, all piping, smic, hacked maf, all hoses needed, intake pipe, the whole works. i am still piecing togethere some more parts before i do the install.

yes adjustable wastegate actuators rule
