what vaccuum lines are open on the throttle body? I didn't think our throttle bodies had any vacuum lines on them. Are you talking the two lines for the throttle body coolant passage? mine are just sitting open no problem. You sure all the vaccuum openings on the intake manifold are hooked up?

yeah the coolant passages.. i figured they would let air get out of them...i dunno..anyways.. i thought they were all hooked up i guess i gotta check it out.

no, the coolant passages wouldn't cause a vacuum leak. There are a few less than obvious vacuum fittings on the intake manifold, like one that is directly behind the throttle body that is hard to see with the body mounted up. There is one that VICS/VTCS share, one that goes to a relay way in the corner of the engine bay near the cruise control, the two that go to the PCV, etc. there's lots and with having the car apart for so long I'd be surprised if you remembered where every little vacuum line went.

yeah pretty much.

Re: The throttle body:

No, those are for your coolant lines, which will not cause any vac leak whatsoever.

Double check your boost guage.

How's your idle?

How's your A:F at idle?

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

well my wideband doesn't work for some reason. it just continually does the opening sequence....and.. idle is perfect.

 

[Kooldino]

Try to borrow a manual boost gauge to double check things.

kk. i might just buy it.

oh and w/ my wideband, if i turn on my headlights, the guage turns off. you think the illumination shouldn't be hooked up? cuz it works for the volt/boost guage...

installed new clutch line, and shift boot.

geeze what inch is that downpipe? lol

 

[Kansei]

eleventy three

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

it's a 2.5" downpipe. lol.

note to you guys, NEVER do a custom setup for a turbo..it sucks having to fab up all the ******* parts, like, for the intercooler and what not...DOWNPIPE/EXHAUST for that matter.
