Need some help on some vaccum issues(Went Gen 3 Intake)

[jrod_okc]

Ok so my car was TT. And i like the look of the Gen 3 intake better etc.. So i got it all done swaped etc.. But the gen 2 intake as alot more vacuum ports on it. So now i have some extra lines. Need to know the best way to make sure i have no vacuum leaks. The ****** coming out from under the TB is what i am using for a vacuum source right now. And there is on one the driver side back where the brake booster goes on. Are there any more sources on the gen 3 intake?

^ This is under the intake, i am guessing something to do with the PCV system?

Yes that first picture is the pcv system.

The pictures of the hose on the drivers side leaves me scratching my head as well. Possibly suppose to be hooked up to a wastegate or bov?

 

[jrod_okc]

WG are under the car.. The BOV are up front.. But that has to be a vacuum source from something. Its a factory source.

 

[KNG SNKE]

It definitely does not look like a factory source. It is a T tap with zip ties.

My motor stock. Only vacuum source on that side of the OEM intake manifold is the one leading to the brake booster (notice the plain ****** and the folded hose). There is also a small hose in the rear of the manifold that hooks the manifold up to the map sensor

One of the vacuum sources goes to the CCV (PCV) on the rocker/valve covers, and other one goes to a fitting between the intake filters and the throttle body on the Gen III.

By the way, the flat black looks pretty sick.

looks like the line in question is just tapped above the old driver side TB

 

[KNG SNKE]

Weird, I looked at my oem photo again and I have nothing at the spot but there was a fitting there.

That vacuum line goes to the evap system between the throttle bodies on a gen.1 & 2 . Runs down under the left front fascia to some gizmos.

Just curious about the first photo you posted with the loose bolt and washer in the foreground, what is it going through? Whatever it is appears to be cracked on the top right rear side of the mounting hole. Just curious. Jeff

 

[jrod_okc]

its the gen 3 plenum.. I know i thought the same thing. Its just the casting of the intake.

 

[jrod_okc]

Can i just block that PCV in the first pic?

 

[KNG SNKE]

Yes. Use a rubber cap and a zip tie. Be very careful not to push the plastic piece into your motor.

You got guts.

Back in college I almost got killed by my cousin's wife when she caught me cleaning the transmission pan out of a '65 300L in her kitchen sink.

Just saw this thread and my car is the same. Appears the previous owner disconnected. It actually has a typical black vacuum port cap on it. Should I be looking to hook something back up?

 

[KNG SNKE]

No idea. My car was very stock in the first picture.

 

[WDW MKR]

Exactly what mine looks like. :shrug:

On my '01, this line:

...tees into my intake shown here(disregard the red arrows):

However, your line looks slightly different than mine. What year is your Viper?

You can certainly cap off the CCV Orifice on top of the block. This is what I did when I installed my breather system. http://forums.viperclub.org/threads/647316-DIY-Breather-System-from-AC-Performance

I am going to have to look at my car now to figure out what happened to that line when I installed the Roe blower.

John, Look under the drivers side ROE intake tube right behind and below the throttle body. There is a very small vacuum fitting on the intake tube that line goes on (points down). I'm sure your's is intstalled. just hard to see unless you are looking for it.
