I have a 99 Integra GSR with a complete drag tubro kit that also includes a tial wastegate and also an hks ssq blowoff. now im wondering what size vacuum lines i should be running and to what items. also should the source on my turbos compressor go to anything or be plugged up. right now i have it plugged up and i have the golden eagle vacuum manifold tapped off my brake booster and going to my fpr, my bov, my wategate, and my bov, my boost guage, and i believe that it is. does this sound right. how should the vacuum be run between the fpr and fmu and any points in between or after that. the real reason i am asking is because my car bogs a lot and also surges, especially in fourth when im doing around 40 -45 mph. the first thing people always suggest is to check the vacuum lines. i also want to add that at the moment i only have the vortech fmu with the 12:1 disc i believe and a walbro high pressure intank fuel pump. i also have the apexi turbo timer with the built in air fuel gauge and when im "getting on it" like when im getting on the freeway or something it always goes to 10 but when im driving remains around 14.5. any help would be extremely appreciated.

 

hey ... According to what you say, I think you got thing connected. Correct? Turbo,pipe,fmu,guages?? etc..

here how the vacuum line goes in a GSR.
First there are 2 strong vacuum line coming from the intake manifold. Those 2 are the main vacuum line.
Then: in one of the vacuum from that, use the T fitting thing and connect it to the BOV. That should be good for it because now you have a strong vacuum to the BOV to release waste air.
- now going on to the second vacuum you had, buy a T or 4 fitting vacuum splitting and connect it to 1. FPR. 2nd. FMU 3th. Wastegate and for the 4th you could either run it to the boost guage or any boost control..

Remember you dont want mist out any vacuum. Get some strong vacuum line so you wont melt the tube. Speaking for myself I did melt one yesterday. ^_^
Also, remember to check your boost guage right after you connect all your vacuum line. The boost guage at idle it should be around 20-22 of vacuum to be accurate. And for the FMU, dont run more than 7psi of boost ok. Becauce my friend just blow up his motor in his civic on the FMU on 9psi. Get the hondata or AEM to run pass those boost.

And good luck boosting the beast GSR....

 

thanks for the advice. ill try it like that. you think i should 86 the vacuum manifold then?

 

anyone else have any other ideas???
