VDI operation
im thinking about getting rid of the ACV and airpump on my car (90' gxl) i got the 5th & 6th port actuator problem figured out, but what about the VDI? the shop manual says its operated by the air pump. how would i go about controling that with no airpump?

Get a 12v Air Compressor like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1864164278 I am still awaiting mine I have won. I will be using a fully Independant auxilliary port activiation system that will Include a RPM Switch, EGR Solenoid and a 12v Air Compressor. Do a search, will yield you plenty of Info.

Explain something to me.
The airpump supplies air to the VDI and 6 port actuators.
So you remove the airpump, but then INSTALL an air compressor to replace it?
why?????????????????
I don't understand this reasoning.

-Reduce weight (somewhat)
-Less of the motor to run, considering their Is one less belt running off the crankC
-Cleaner appearance of engine bay
-By removing the Air Pump, I can remove the Air Control Valve and Split Air Pipe
-My personal favorite, the 12v Air compressor Is releasing air at 6psi, so that means Instant opening of the Auxilliary Ports thus meaning I can fine tune my RPM Switch to open up the ports INSTANTLY.
Reason enough? I did this to gain full Independant access with the Auxilliary ports ensuring they are tuned In accordingly with my mods. i.e no more back pressure.

no, the out-put is a good size small size, perfect for us (the part we connect to the actuators). but the input it a little odd, but should be ok. im going to get one of those little K&N Breather filter for the in-put cuz i dont want to blow dirty air in the actuator.
