So I think i have some serious rerouting to do for my vac. I was looking around the car and Im missing the vac line that goes to the BOV, my "p" port has a male male connector at the end with it leading no where. Ive consulted this link( http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/art...-speed-shop-vacuum-diagram-removal-1g-2g.html) but it didnt help me too much.
so can I run my bov vac to the P port?/ where is the o.e line supposed to lead
thanks for the help

so...you are missing the barb on the left hand side of your intake manifold? The line I'm referring to is right after the TB on your intake manifold on most dsm's anyways

don't put in on the p line that's usually used for boost gauges
 
Since my computer is being totally retarded, I couldn't pull up the Engine Bay tour thingy. But I did find a picture that will help you. :) You can see the line from the BOV to the intake manifold. Hope this helps! :thumb:

should my bov vac line be connected to the lin at runner 3?

To avoid any confusion of intake runners, the nipple for the BOV is the larger nipple on the lower portion of the intake manifold, just below where it says "ECI Multi". Passenger's side of the intake manifold. However it is between the runners for cylinders #3 and #4.

The smaller nipple on the driver's side is for the fuel pressure regulator/fuel pressure solenoid. That one is directly over the runner for cylinder #2.

The cylinders are numbered from 1-4 with cylinder one being nearest the timing belt (Driver's side) and cylinder 4 nearest the clutch (Passenger's side).

I don't use a 1g IM Nate, but isn't that the PCV nipple?
 
The big nipple sitting vertically on 4 is for the pcv.
The one they're referring to is right below the multi casting.. cept in the picture there isnt a nipple in it (or its broken off)

Oh crap you're right, Looks like I just had a brain-fart.

That picture is of a non-turbo intake manifold so there is NO port for the BOV. Here is a picture of the turbo intake manifold:

On the turbo Intake manifold you see the BOV port on the upper portion of the Passenger's side of the manifold just below where it says "ECI-Multi".

Liquid is right, the larger, lower nipple on both manifolds is for the PCV line.
 
so i just went and looked at my car, and I deff. have the n/a IM there is no port at runner 3 any other suggestions?

I would just tap into the FPR line to be honest or drill and tap a nipple into the manifold (with the manifold off the vehicle of course).
 
I would either try to find a used turbo manifold or drill and tap yours. I just pulled my IM a few weeks ago and drilled and tapped it for my MAP sensor, its not a very hard task. I would avoid tapping another line for the BOV though, especially the much smaller FPR line. It would probably work, but still not the best option.
 
so Im believing more and more that the previous owner did a turbo swap on a n/a motor:
- I have only one vac. line to my egr.
- the vin comes back as an n/a
- the IM is N/a
I was trying to delete some of the emission vac. lines to try any eliminate any leaks etc. while searching I found 4 ports on the passenger side of the IM underneath the throttle body on the back side closest to the fire wall about half way down (near #2 or #3) only one of them is hooked up and it goes to the t-stat housing any suggestions on what i should do with the other lines? should i just cap them off?

so i mapped m vacuum lines tonight this is the best i could come up with

and from what ive seen for emissions bypass' I can eliminate almost all these lines correct?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but those four runners underneath the manifold are not plumbed into the manifold. More like just extensions to run vac lines to other side of engine bay. I believe they can be left open if nothing connected on other side.

You are absolutly correct.

This means that you have a non-turbo intake manifold but a turbo intake manifold support bracket, LOL.
 
yeah this car has been a mad headache, not sure why the car has a n/a mani but doing an emis. delete tommorw.
 
since emissions is not an issue with the egr blocked off, would it be possible to use it as a BOV vacuum source (ie tapping a barb on the block off plate)?
