Ive just recieved my Golden Eagle vac manifold to save all the mess under the hood and would be very greatful if someone could please! tell me which is the best and most accurate vac source for me to T it off to a pic would be nice if possible or anyone with this item give us some input it will be much appreciated.

 

Most people tee between the intake manifold and the check valve on the brake booster line.

 

dont mean to sound dumb but where is the brake booster line located. does it run to the big black brake servo on the bulkhead of the engine bay? could you not be more descriptive

 

Sorry I can't show you a picture, my server is down.

Yeah, the brake booster line is a 3/8" ID hose that runs from the intake manifold to the big black thing behind the brake cylinder on the firewall. Be sure to tap between the manifold an the check valve, not between the check valve and the brake booster.

 

By check valve you mean the piece of grey plastic that interupts the 3/8" ID hose?

 

i pm'ed you a link to a picture of it...

YES

 

I ran my vacuum manifold directly off of the nipple on my intake manifold that used to be for the PCV. It's 3/8" just like the brake booster.

 

I hope this helps. It is not my pic but this is on an Integra

 

Not to jack this thread but I've been having a problem with my golden eagle block. My bov used to blow off when I had it routed by itself to the brake booster line, but now I have it on the vacuum block and now the bov isn't working? pm me if you have any suggestions plz

 

i teed off my brake booster line as well

Also only drill out what your going to use. Don't go and poke holes into every spot if you only got 3 or 4 items.

 

if you have no room...go to a fitting store and pick up another pipe to hose fitting and put it directly on the brake booster.

 

the golden eagale vaccum manifolds dont usually give problems do t hey?? or is it just that people hook them up wrong? planning to get one soon..

 

just like some of you i put a "T" in the brake booster line for my Golden eagle manifold, and everything works fine for me.

there a no brainer to install, as long as you get good vac source.

 

Thanks for all the good words you guys
We designed the vacuum manifold to be as straight foward as possible. One thing to always remember, as someone else said, to be sure to drill out only the ports you will be using. I have had a few people that forgot to do that. No big deal, it's real easy to do. Hope you guys like the products and we will have some more great products hitting real soon

 

i dont see how this really cleans up the engine bay ...seems like you would just have longer vac lines coming from one spot rather than short ones coming from the closest ports?

 

It lets you keep all your vacuum sources in one location for ease of maintenence as well as allows easier installation of added vacuum lines without having to remove the intake manifold to makes new vacuum sources.

 

i like the design and purpose of the manifold..

 

im about to hook mine up this week. has anyone else had problems with their bov and the GE manifold? I 've heard that the bov opperates better on it's own vacuum source.

I would disagree with this. Mine was fine and source taken from brake booster.

 

Not using a GE manifold, but a McMaster manifold and I've never had any vacuum problems.
