Rerouting Vacuum Lines w a Vac manifold/block

[psycho6cyl]

I love the idea of rerouting vac lines. I was going to do.a couple of taps behind manifold but started thinking different ways. I found this http://www.theboostlab.com/store/products/Full-Race-Vacuum{47}Boost-Block.html I figure this way itll be one tap and I can use the other end of vac brakes. This seems a little tunerish but happy its in a centralized spot.Im thinking mout on firewall coil height or lower..

Looks like a plumbing manifold you could buy at Home Depot.

I don't know for sure but I think the throttle body vacuum signal is a mixture of pre-throttle blade and post-throttle blade, kind of like a carb.

However I like your idea and I think there are possibilities to improve the appearance there. Would be cool to see a vac block with maybe two ports that use threaded hard lines to disappear under the intake and spider out to where needed.

I thought of doing the same thing, quickly realized I only needed 3 vac lines though There are a lot of really trick billet vac blocks when you start searching for them. Definitely looks nice and clean imo. Nothing wrong with tunerish when it cleans up the car!

So did you do it?

 

[psycho6cyl]

I was going to but 2 things happened 1) I realized I was just taking the vac block off tb and moving it,still not really dedicating an individual source for each line 2)had to rebuild motor so builder will drill tap for iat and each vac source.

Would running alky effect the IAC if the IAC was in the manifold?

 

[psycho6cyl]

Not that I am aware of. I will be running xfi and this seems.to be common practice even with guys running alky. I will dbl check with Cal but im 99.99% sure its ok.

That's too pricey. I bought a distribution block at Princess Auto for $10 and the same fittings at home Depot and built the same one for half the price.



Ran vacuum from my intake to the distribution block, I now use my 1" spacer as another source.

Have a link for that block?

What are you doing to block off the vacuum ports on the Throttle Body?

Here's an aluminum manifold. I used this for some Hobbs switches. It can be had in lots of combinations of ports/sizes.

I got a block off plate from Dan at DLS.

Nice valve covers!

I run Alky, so if you run the lines off the back of the intake...liquid could end up in the lines. I switched to the larger block on the TB, and ran fittings and AN tube nuts on stainless line. I only needed 4 lines, so it worked out great.

Damn coach, that looks like sex!

Where did you get the lines from? I have the same vac block. And how did you attach to pcv and fpr?
