Can someone tell me where this goes? It has a banjo bolt on it. Not sure if it's for the turbo or what.

Can someone please tell me where I can get a nut like this one for the driver side, I lost it. It's the one above what i think you call the lower ball joint (I could be wrong on that). The pic was taken from the front of the car looking towards the center of the passenger side wheel. You can see my destroyed cv axle there:

I broke a nipple off the egr solenoid:

So I've decided to clean up the engine bay and delete some emissions stuff. I've read these threads:

and I think I'm ready for this, but I guess I'm a little worried about not knowing exactly which port on the intake manifold goes to where.

Can someone please show me a picture of what the purge control valve looks like?

Should I keep my fuel pressure solenoid hooked up? I don't have an aftermarket afpr yet, or dsmlink. I'll be keeping all the sensors plugged into the solenoids so I don't have a check engine light.

This might be a stupid question: I just now ordered an egr blockoff plate so I don't know if it will get here this weekend. Will i be able to get rid of the charcoal canister without it? I hope the blockoff plate & gasket gets here on time.

I'm so nervous about starting the car for the first time this weekend!! Please pray that everything goes well for me guys!!

Thanks in advance for the help! I'll try to think of anything else that I need to know before startup this weekend.

Here's some pics of the car as of right now:

Here's the motor before going in the car! (Fram filter was just for protection, WIX is going on soon. Also ignore my mangled exhaust mani wrap job LOL,)

The pipe in these pictures is the turbo water return line. It bolts to the block under where the water pipe bracket bolts to (towards thermostat housing side). You have the banjo bolt going in the wrong side in those pictures. The little tab rests in a freeze plug opening that's above and to the right of where the banjo bolt goes.

Which nut? The one right below the broken axle?

I wouldn't worry about the EGR solenoid if you're eliminating emissions.

As long as the important items have sole nipples on the intake manifold, it doesn't really matter where they get plugged into. Certain ones like the brake booster and PCV valve have obvious inputs.

I wouldn't worry about it. It just helps with hot starts. As long as the FPR (thing bolted to the driver's side of the fuel rail) has a vacuum line to it, you're good.

If you plan on eliminating emissions, the canister typically goes.

Here is a diagram.
It is #19 on the left side of the Diagram.
For some reason I can't see the diagram.

Yeah, the biggest one in the picture. Can I just remove the passenger side one and go to home depot or a hardware store and find another one just like it? Do you know of a way to find out what size it is exactly? I mean, you have to get the right thread pitch and all that, right?

Sounds good

What should I do if the egr valve block off plate isn't here this weekend? I don't want to have to wait to start the motor for that. I guess just go ahead and keep all the emmisions stuff? Or would i be able to get rid of part of it? After i have the block off plate I can remove the egr valve completely, correct?

Thanks for the help snowborder714 and miguelmcv, I really appreciate it.


Could someone please show me a pic of the purge control valve and the turbocharger waste gate solenoid that the Taboo Speed Shop diagram refers to? Is the turbo waste gate solenoid the same thing as a boost control solenoid?

Yes, you can probably go to a hardware store to get a new one. If you want an OEM one, the part number is MU432101.


So i would just have a vac line going from the intake manifold to the fpr and that's it, correct?

Correct, unless you have something (like a boost gauge) teed into that vacuum line. The FPR line is one of the few that you can tap into without adverse effects. However, if you can run all the lines to separate sources, then that's ideal.

You should be able to just put a vacuum cap on the nipple of the EGR valve for the time being, but not 100% positive.

Purge control solenoid valve is pictured here - http://members.shaw.ca/dsm.1000q/Engineprimer/2G/solenoids.htm

Yes, the wastegate solenoid is the same as the BCS (boost control solenoid).

I'm still confused because in the taboo speed shop diagram there is a "Purge control valve" and a separate thing called a "Evaporative emission purge solenoid" which is what is shown in the picture in the link that you gave me.

I'm assuming it's like the egr valve, in that there is an egr valve (below the intake mani on the passenger side) and an egr valve solenoid (the left most solenoid on the driver's side of the firewall). I just can't figure out where the purge control valve is at. I guess i'll just have to look again and see if i can find it. I'll probably be able to follow the lines coming out of the charcoal canister this weekend and find it.

This is a link to the diagram I'm referring to: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/art...-speed-shop-vacuum-diagram-removal-1g-2g.html


Thanks for the info about the nut and the wgs/bcs.
 
LOL. My Talon is in my friend's dad's shop. He used to own a Chrysler dealership about 15 or 20 years ago. Now he just does works as a mechanic. You wouldn't believe how many cars and motors and parts this guy has laying around. I think he might have a hoarding problem or something, LOL. You can literally walk down a path and pass by 7 or 8 V8 motors just sitting on the floor.
