I'm trying to work everything out to get my KB ready for install and i've been looking over all the vacuum lines.. I've read several articles but haven't found a really good diagram, or write up for a KB.
Here is what I got, and what i'm thinking... if anyone has any input I would really appreciate it. The last thing I want to happen is get the car to the dyno and not be able to figure a vacuum problem..
I am going to be running filters on both valve covers, and I have a brass fitting in the lower intake where the PCV line went to the blower. I will have the EGR blocked off on the back of the blower, as well as on the manifold.
First of all here is the ports on the back of the blower . I imagine the larger one was for the PCV system that "T's" into the lower intake? The cap on the lower port was capped off when I got the blower as well.
Here is the group of vacuum lines that was on the eaton. I've figured out now that the lower two need to be connect to a strong boost port, and should go to the FRPS and boost gauge, and I'll run a different set of vacuum lines from the "boost" port on KB's base plate, T it off to three lines going to the FRPS, (factory and aftermarket boost gauges), and Bypass valve.
I plan to remove all of this stuff, just as this thread explains:
And i'll have the boost dump solenoid functions turned off in the tune. One question on this though, Does the boost dump solenoid need to remain electrically plugged in, or can I remove it completely?
Then I suppose what vacuum ports I don't use I'll cap off on the back of the blower.. Being as all the upper ports go into the same area, I don't imagine it would really matter how it's run?
Being as I have capped off the EGR system, I imagine that I can get rid of the EGR vacuum regulator solenoid, the green vacuum line that went from it to the EGR valve, then cap off the red vacuum line at the upper port that would have went to the EGR solenoid?
I would like to get rid of everything that I can, to make the install as clean as possible!
I apologize for putting this in terminator talk, but I figured it would get the most views here. I also bought this blower used, and don't have an instruction manual so I've had to just kind of figure things out on the go..
Thanks in advance..
