LIM vac hoses?

hey guys well i eliminated the rats nest and now i am puting my car back together after a wastgate port plus repaint manifolds and new secondaries plus cleaned and rebuilt primaries.

I ordered silicone hoses from hosetechniques but they wont be here untill next week. i was wondering if i could plus a hose from on nipple on the lim to the other nipple on the lim, instead of each one going to the uim?

will this work or do i just need to wait for new hoses.

i am waiting for the other hoses becuase of the color scheme i am making under my hood. if i connected a hose on the lim it wouldnt be seen, therefore i could use a regular black hoses.


so what i am asking is can i do whats in green on the lim instead of whats in red? and has anyone tried this?

if you have eliminated alot of things (bac, egr, acv, airpump etc) you could just plug them with rubber plugs. I eliminated everything anticipating a haltec and ran with silicone hose too and I have those ports blocked off. on a base engine you need vac to brake booster, boost sensor, bov, fpr, canister. thats all I can think of right now. oh yea crankcase venting too.
this setup works fine on mine 157,000mi
and still going strong.

you mean like this?


I figured i could block off two ports at one time... FYI... My car won't run under 4krpm... I don;t know what the cause is, but I'm sure looping the ports isn't helping any, especially for the $.25 i'm saving by doing it...

No, but the two injector bleeds were looped together at the time. I removed the omp injectors all together now though...
