Emissions Removal: Fuel Lines

I'm in the process of putting my motor together, and I read the emissions removal write up on Rotary Resurrection, but I'm stuck at how I'm supposed to route the fuel lines. I know the line from the fuel pump through the fuel filter goes to where the pulsation damper is, and the fuel return line comes off the bottom of the fuel pressure regulator and back to the tank. That leaves me with two injector rails that have one side each with no hoses.

Am I supposed to just connect the two injector rails to each other.

Fuel Pump -- Fuel Filter -- Primary Injector Rail (Pulsation Damper) -- Out the other side of Prim. Rail --Secondary Injector Rail (Side without the regulator) -- Out the regulator and back to the tank.

^ Is that right?

Also how many sensor connectors will end up not being plugged in if I'm doing a proper emissions parts removal?

There are no sensors that get removed. There are four coloured plugs for the solenoids on top of the motor, and two plugs for the solenoid valves on the AVC. These will be redundant once you've removed the vac rand and ACV.

You should be looking closely at the info in the FSM so you understand what you're doing. This info is easily found in there. If you don't have the FSM, click here and download it in PDF format for free.

Only sensors I have left is the Boost sensor, coolant temp sensor on the back side of the thermostat housing, TPS, MAF, CAS, oil pressure sending unit, and then the sensors for the coolant level buzzer and oil level buzzer. I think thats it, I might be missing one.

All I have left on top of my engine is the 2 fuel lines, the harness for the injectors and 1 plug for the coolant temp sensor and the rest of the harness goes over to the CAS and TPS, along with an air temp sensor i think it is. Mines an S4 TII, so it might vary with what ever you model is.

Thanks cdaleracer669 for the diagram, exactly what i was looking for!

Sorry I didn't mean sensors, but things like the BAC, ACV, ThermoWax, and things like that. Unless the info on Rotary Resurrection's Emission's Removal is wrong.

So, other than the four colored solenoid connectors that don't need to be plugged in if I take off the vacuum rail, there should be nothing else that's not plugged in after an entire emission's removal?

Like I said, you don't remove any sensors. So the "only sensors you have left" are the same ones you started with.

The BAC valve and thermowax are not emissions control, they're both for idle speed control. Do you know what they do? Do you understand what'll happen without them?

IMO those emissions write-ups are lacking. There's no explantion of what you're removing, what functions they perform or what the effects of removing them are, so people like yourself make uninformed decisions. There's plenty of info to be found by searching, and there's at least one thread in the archives explaining this stuff. There's also the FSM to look at.

So, other than the four colored solenoid connectors that don't need to be plugged in if I take off the vacuum rail, there should be nothing else that's not plugged in after an entire emission's removal?
Nothing should be left disconnected unless it's for something that's been removed. The electrical plugs you disconnect can be taped up neatly into the harness. All open vac lines should be capped.
