I bought an intake manifold about 1 week ago and when it arrived I started taking the stock one off, well I got it off and now I am stuck, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get some of the vacume lines conected to the aftermarket one. Here are some pictures if any one can help me I would really appreciate it.

 

Would probably see if Kevin is willing to come over and get it working for you... You'd have to pay him of course but that's probably your best bet if you don't know how to get it installed.

 

Thanks I have been getting some advice for him every so often. I just hate being DEE,DEE,DEE!!!

 

oh man looks like you got your hands full. its hard for me to diagnose stuff over e-mail. and i know replacing intake manifolds is definitely not easy.

there are a couple vacuum lines you for sure need hooked up to the intake manifold.

1, brake booster. it is going to be one of the biggest vacuum lines, and should also have a check valve and most likely a vacuum resevior with it as well.

2, the blow off valve line is referenced off the intake manifold. it can be no other way.

3, the fuel pressure regulator is referenced off the intake manifold

4, you need a place for the manifold pressure sensor to go. looks like there is a spot for it with two bolts and a flange for it.

5, anything else that uses vacuum is referenced off the manifold. this includes the crank case vent, and the charcoal canister which soaks up the fuel vapors.

i know there is more but thats all i can think of right now. i was up till 3 am last night putting a clutch in an evo, then spent today doing cams and tuning another.

lets just say i'm quite busy... i may actually need a shop soon instead of my garage.

 

Sounds like you are really busy, well I just need some adapters because the fuel pressure regulator fitting is way samaller then all the rest. Mabey some day soon I will trailer my car and take it to irving. I think I can finish installing myself but I need to find the adapter fittings, those are the main things I'm looking for.

 

Looks good............how much did get that for and where

 

what kind of adapter do you need for the FPR? i know they use smaller vacuum lines, but did the manifold not come with the nipples for that size vacuum line?

 

No the manifold didn't come with any fittings, I am planning on calling where I bought it form to see if I can get the parts I need. I will keep ya'll posted.

 

With aftermarket intake manifolds, you will have to delete the EGR valve

 

go to the hardware store and get nipples to put on those holes

The EGR system, that valve you are holding in one of the pics, cannot be used anymore. So you will have to remove it and cap the lines the go to the top of the throttle body. Anything that was connected to the intake manifold before will have to be connected again minus the EGR system
