[RESOLVED] smic vacuum line

[talontsi98]

Im in the process of installing my ssac fmic and have a question. There is a vacuum line connected to the stock smic. Do I cut this off and plug it off?

Do you have a pic?

Where does this vac line lead to? There shouldn't be a vac line on the stock SMIC.

Here's a pic. Both vacuum lines leat back through the passenger side firewall.

Right, I've never seen anything like this.

I followed the lines and the go to the rear wiper fluid reservoir of all places. When I tipped the stock smic over wiper fluid came out of the intercooler. Is there a possability that someone tried to make this a water sprayer for the intercooler?

probably some sort of primitive methanol injection.

To answer your question; No, there are no vacuum lines from the stock intercooler. I see three vacuum lines from that intercooler, which is not stock. Your intercooler has been modified for what seems to be some sort of water injection system. Please PM me about trading your piece for my stock SMIC. Please dont destroy it and just go yanking hoses.

Now I wonder what Brutus has in mind for it.

Here you go. That must be a meth injection the person was trying to do, because mine doesnt have that. And mine is stock for the most part.

I would just get rid of that whole thing.

Haha, I need it for my backup car. Its maxing out the stock injectors and this could help me squeeze a little more boost out of the 14b in the summer. Esp since I have plenty of methanol on hand.

Upon closer inspection of the pictures it seems to be a fogger system, and not an injection system as previously posted. Are those lines going to drill points on the intercooler? If there arent holes tapped that those lines are running to then its not injection and its just passing water over the outside of the intercooler on demand of the winshield washer switch. Either way Id like to study this intercooler. PM me please.
