    Default Vacuum lines for ITBs

    car- ae86
    engine - 16 4age

    is it possible to just use air lines with T piece joints etc; to rig it all up so it all connects and points air to the correct location? such as brake booster and MAP sensor.. i think thats the only 2 things that require air right?..

    do i need to calculate air volume? or will the above idea be enough to provide air to booster and map sensor?

    thoughts on this?

    i know a lot of people with say its a good idea to run one of those vac boxes to give a nice consistent reading.
    im not 100% sure but there may be issues with air to the booster if you have high duration/lift cams and high comp? but again i'm in no way the authority on this kind of thing, infact i've been trying to find answers to this myself so curious to see what people have to say.

    Pretty sure it'll be fine like that, and doubt you'll have to break out the calculator to get this working properly.

    You will probably need to run vacuum to your FPR also.

    A vacuum manifold/canister/box/whatever will make it easier to hook up the booster and map sensor, plus any other things you want to hook up to vacuum later on.
    With the 20v throttles on the 16v, youll want to take the vacuum signal from the T3 manifold and not off the stock nipples at the top of the throttles...

    Advise having a look at a blacktop intake manifold config.
    Slotted channel connecting all throttles to a single map outlet. Brake booster is drilled and tapped into 1 & 4 after the throttle body,then both feed the booster.

    Just t piecing them all together will not work well. Listen to the advice above.
