A few members on here said they had the Vulcan Turbo intake manifold on their 2.2's

I have a few questions about it. After I recived mine in the mail i was examining it and noticed that there wasn't a place for the MAP, and also there wasn't a place for the hose that is next to the MAP.

I want to know how those of you who have the Vulcan Turbo Intake Manifold were able to get those to attach to it. I have a few ideas of my own but they are pretty red neck ideas and would like for it to look like it was made for it. Not to look like a back yard hack job.

bump for some help

 

good question, bumb for answer

 

Ill take a pic and show you what I did with both. Give me 10 minutes. I have the intake manifold and head completely off since I'm rebuilding my turbo and fixing exhaust leaks

UPDATE: Here ya go!

Heres what I used for the PCV system. I removed the Plastic tube that goes from the Silver box on the right of the head, to the top of the old IM, and replaced it with a vacuum hose connected like so to the Vulcan manifold.


For the MAP sensor, all you gotta do is cut off that little orange fitting it has and you have yourself a regular vacuum nipple. Connect it to the Vulcan manifold with a vacuum hose. I have mine T'ed in with my boost gauge.

 

THANKS! apreciate the help, a lot.

 

No problem. I dont remember exactly how big the fitting I used for the PCV was but I just took the manifold into Napa with me and found one that threaded in. You also shouldnt need more then about 14inches of vacuum line for it. I made the MAP line a bit long and I tucked the MAP sensor in under the runners so it wasnt visible. Made it look a lot cleaner. You may also want to look into finding 90 degree vacuum fittings for the top of the manifold. The ones it comes with look like ****, specially the break boost

 

Well, that hose im talking about on top of the manifold next to the map, i didnt know that was for the PCV system. The Chiltons manual said it was for the EVAP system. Should be connected to a plastic canister on the side of the head.

i may end up taking it to a machine shop and have them figure out how to tap and mount the MAP onto the manifold. I think it will look a little better then it being T'd off. Not knocking what you did because that was the first thing that came to mind but that kind of work wont fly at car show's.

 

You are correct, I keep getting them mixed up lol. But yes it connects to the gray canister. Like I said about the MAP, you cant even see it, its routed perfectly under the manifold so all you see is a small vacuum line coming up and into the manifold. NO wires or sensor visible. Though I have no intension of going to a car show. Not my thing. I just like working on the car and making power.

 

yeah, i'll most likely end up t'ing it off. simply because i dont want to spend any more down time then i have to. At least for the time being anyway. May end up switching it out later or something.

Where can i get some Elbow type connectors that you were talking about, for the vacuum hoses. (I knew i should have asked them to put those bonges on the underside of the manifold. oh well. )

i had one more question as well. Does your stock 2.2 throttle body bolt up to it? Because i just saw that the bolt pattern looked to be squared off and there is that one bolt on the 2.2 TB that is off set a little bit.

 

Yes it fits, turn it sideways and 4 bolts will line up. Turn it so that the TB's Throttle by wire plug is on top, level with the top of the intake manifold.

 

sweet. thanks for that info. btw did you have them put the TB flange on the passanger side of the engine. i did.

 

No, i got mine from Sentry, so its on the driver side. I forgot the pic i took was only focus'ed on the flange. It makes it really difficult to change the oil filter so If I stay turbo, i am going to run a remote oil filter setup.

 

i just cant wait to get this thing installed, lol.

 

i know this is older but it took me forever to find this im installing mine now with my 79lb injectors and 2.4tb.
Very very helpfull!!
