Hopefully i can explain this correctly. Engine is of the S5 NA type

The 5 metal hoses from under the intake manifold at the back of the engine. And the five facing them in the same location but are attached with the upper intake manifold bolts. Which one is hooked to which one? The vacuum diagram in the factory manual has a discrepancy, in that one of the hoses looks like it goes to a certain one but then there is a line interrupting it's path and that's where it becomes confusing. Like this post so far.

Basically I need to know which goes to which starting at the one closest to the firewall perferrably. And viewed from the passenger side of the car. I have reusable intake manifold gaskets so taking the manifold apart a million times isn't the deal I just need to do it once and be done.

Not that it matters but it's a S5 going in a 84 FB. Any help would be appretiated. Or if you could just tell me where the pressurized air sorce is from the air pump to the 6PI and VDI I can figure out the rest. Either way. I believe it comes from the two 90 degree bent fittings on top of the ACV but not sure. It seems to be correct but a bit of knowledge from someone would be great. (This is probably knuckle head stuff buth the service manual provides no information)

Thanks in advance!

Nobody knows even where the pressurized air from the pump comes out to go to the 6PI and VDI? Are you kidding me someone has to know.

A pic of your 5 vacuum lines would be great even. Anything come on guys you modify these engines and don't know how they work stock?

That's scary.

There has to be someone that knows something in this forum.

I have an S4, not S5, but by looking at the FSM, there is a diagram.
I don't see why you can't get a bicycle tire pump and pressurize each of the hoses while watching the VDI and Aux. Ports and determine which line goes to them, then turn the air pump and feel each of the other hoses until you find the one that has air flowing out when the pump is turning.

The solenoid valves will have one connection that is vented to atmosphere when de-energized and one that is not. The two hose connections are connected when the solenoid is energized.

You should be able to use your bicycle pump (or lungs) to determine which hos is vented to the environment and then connect the line to the appropriate device (VDi or aux. ports, depending on which solenoid you are dealing with) to the vented hose connection, while the input from the air pump goes to the other

I am sorry that I don't have a better answer for you, but as I said, my car is an S4.

I hope you get it running.

I know what your saying I need to know where the air pump air is coming from. I think on top of the ACV where there is two vac ports. That's how I have it for now. When it comes time to start her up I'll find out I guess. I can't believe there are no S5 guys to answer this. I don't think I can turn the air pump fast enough to do that but I will probably try it

HAILERS

Maybe if YOU took a picture and posted it?

Maybe if you did I could look at your picture since I don't know what to take it of. Can you send me a close up of the ACV on a S5 n/a motor?

Each of your posts in this thread make me think that you're a dick. You're asking for strangers to fix your problem, while you're too lazy to look at the fsm, then you blatantly insult someone.

Even two years later you haven't matured.

Actually your wrong. I'm not a dick but I could see how you think I am. The FSM is wrong I have it and it isn't right not to mention it does not show what i'm asking about anywhere in it. Also if you look closely at the vacuum diagram where the 5 hoses connect the big smog rack to the little one. Now look closely there is a descrepency and you can't tell the difference of what happens after the hose turn the 90 degree bend in the pic. One of the hoses theoretically is not there accordind to the amount of lines in the diagram. Also the "source" for the pressurized air comes from the nipple just behind where the main airpump hose hooks to the ACV. Yet again there is no picture in the FSM anywhere that shows this. Sorry that you don't pay attention or have never checked to make sure everything works on your car like I did. I bought the car and proceded to check every sensor and replace the bad ones. Replaced every hose in the engine bay with new ones and hooked the vacuum hoses up to where they actually go. Changed all the seals on the engine. Passed smog in california with an old rotary without cheating or paying for an illegal smog. My car actually works right unlike most people on this website or off of it that own rotary cars. I was just looking for someone that new how to do it right at the time so I didn't have to go to the tremendous effort I did to learn how everything works. Now I'm glad I did because I know how every last thing in the engine bay works and how to check it all and all that bs. Even the ACV which I don't use now do to the lack of smogging the car in TX. There's a lot going on with the emissions on these cars and its overly complicated. Mines stripped down quite a bit but there's still more that could be done of course. I don't know what my point was and I don't care but theres the reason why you think I'm a dick because I don't care I guess.

I have friends in the real world I don't need a ton of internet friends. They aren't real hell they aren't even who they say they are half the time. Like you for example. You probably don't even own an rx-7. So now you'll post pics which could be of anyones car and then you'll take a pic of yourself driving the car which could be borrowed then you'll take a pic with you your ID and the car and its registration to prove it's yours and it could still be fake. I'm just kidding of course.

When I asked those questions I was hoping to find someone that actualy knows about that stuff. There is nobody on here that does or they are like me and don't want to respond most of the time because guys like you will jump on and say we are dicks. Maybe I've just been around cars more than you and been working on them for as long as I can remember and am looking for certain answers which do not include: How do I make my car faster? Which wheels look the best on FCs? Which exhaust should I buy? I bet if I look through your posts they are littered with that kind of stuff. Once again I am just kidding don't get all butt hurt I'm sure your a fine mechanic/person and know everything which is why you didn't answer my original post. Just kidding again man I can't stop I guess its because you post was worthless.

Or maybe it was worthlesser or what ever that other guy would say.

Damn I'm still just kidding sorry I'm such a DICK!
