ITB Manifold Vacuum
ITB Manifold Vacuum
(OP)
Hello,
I've been reading this forum for awhile now and this is my 1st post. I am currently building an intake setup for a 2.5l porsche 4cyl. There is not much science to what I am building, just what I read and see. The question is what is the best way to obtain manifold vacuum now that I am losing my plenium after the throttle plate? Would a 3 1/16" line from each throttle body to a stand alone chamber work as a vacuum resivor? I need Vac. for the brakes and the fuel regulator. Could I also incorporate an air bleed into that resivor to control idle? The engine has been modified and it makes a alot of power. It also runs really well. I just like making things and this intake is the current project. I just feel that I am stuck on this vacuum issue.

RE: ITB Manifold Vacuum
If you want more stable vacuum signal, take a line from all 4 runners and join via "T"s or via a very small manifold.
Basically the vacuum manifold can be just a stack of "T" fittings.
The volume and CSA of these lines and vacuum manifold will reduce pulsing in the inlet manifold, depending on relative sizes.

There's a nice little diagram of the kind of thing you may need, go to 'Accessories' then at the bottom go to:
'Air Bypass Valve fittings. See instructions '
Have fun...
