Default TURBO SET UP PROBLEMS- Purge cut soleniod valve

I am building a turbo motor for my EG civic. The turbo lump im putting is a B18C Type r. The electrics and loom on my car is OBD1 and i have changed most of the sensors on the OBD2 type r motor to OBD1 sensors.

The problem is on my OBD1 wiring loom there is a sensor meant for the back of the intake manifold called the PURGE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE- its a little mushroom type thing thats bolted to the back of the intake, BUT on the TYPE R intake manifold there is no fixing bracket or pipe coming off the intake manifold to fit this! It looks like the OBD2 motors dont have one????

Any help on what to do would be great.
thanks

take all that emissions crap and ****-can it..

but if you really want to keep it.. use a vacuum-t to splice it into the line for the fuel pressure regulator, because your right- the type-r manifold doesn't have a place for it.. so now make a neat little bracket to bolt it to the firewall.

but if your turbo'in a honda... why are you worried about emissions stuff??
take all of it out and throw it out. you'll have enough vacuum lines with a properly plumbed turbo system

Thanks man, yeah im turbo'in it, but i have not been sure what to do with all the emissions ****, i live in the UK and people know **** about hondas here, i should have been born in the USA!

So i bin the charcoal canister thats bolted to my fire wall and plug up all pipes that were leading to it? I am going to run my own custom Vac system, i have taken the two plugs out of the back of the block and put pipe connector fittings, got rid of the black oil box on the back of the block and welded the hole up. I will run the pipes to a catch can and scavange vac from splice into the exhaust, does this sound right? Or the best way?

So what do i do with the wiring plug that connected to the purge cut solenoid, if its not connected to anything wont i get an ecu error?

thanks

yeah trash all that factory junk.. plug the one hose coming out of the firewall and going to the charcoal canister. because it vents back to the fuel system.

dude, thats exactly how its supposed to be done. the factory pcv system isn't proper for turbo.

i know for a fact that on us/jdm computers you won't get that annoying check engine light, so one can assume that you shouldn't either. the wiring, you can let the plug dangle, cut it off at the harness, or take the time to remove the wires all together from the harness

ok thanks,

But does any one know any links or sites that give a good step by step instructions on how to set up the emmisions systems and venting the blocks on turbo hondas, there seems so much conflicting info.
thanks
