I need to know how everyone else installed their virant vacuum block. because long story short the fitting made by vibrant dont fit.

I believe it says on Vibrant's site that is was made to be a direct fit for some Integras and Civics. I have one - I just haven't gotten around to installing it but it looks like you'd need to make a custom bracket or start drilling some holes. Or were you talking about the line fittings for the vacuum block? If that, then I have no clue...

i installed mine a couple of days ago. standard 1/8 fittings WON"T FIT. i made mine fit but that's another story

*************.com or JDM Sam can hook you up with the fittings u'll need

 

[GhostMercury]

i am sending the ones jdmsam sent me back to him cause they dont fit. what kind of fitting did you use and where did you get them from. and pictures would be sweet

Just to follow up on this thread, this is quoted from Vibrant's website...

Vibrant Aluminum Vacuum Manifolds are designed to allow for consistent vacuum from a single source that can then be distributed though up to 6 outlets (tapped for 1/8” NPT fittings) in order to support all of the vacuum accessories that are commonly used on Turbocharged cars.

It should be noted that they are taped using a PIPE thread [National Pipe Thread (NPT)]. This type of thread is slightly tappered to help prevent leaks. When you screw your fittings in they will be tight, and feel as if they are not going in easily, this is normal. Just make sure you are using the proper 1/8 NPT fitting to begin with.

good luck

BTW, yes you can plug one side so you can mount it in a different location

you'll need a T, i have an extra one but i'm sure you can find it at any home depot
