stock fd charge relive valve (secondary bov) vaccum hose

hey, does anyone know where the stock fd charge relive valve (secondary bov) vaccum hose hooks up to? in this pic http://www.autosportracetech.com/RX-7/vacuum.jpg it just goes to the LIM. which nipple does it connect to though? are any of them ok? how does it know to not release pressure till 4500rpm? anyone got any pics?

thanks

can i just tie the crv to the charge control actuator vaccum line which goes to the LIM? (both are suppose to stop sucking and start blowing after 4500rpm right?)

if you look closely youll see that it doesnt go to the LIM it goes THROUGH it. it connects to one of the solenoids in the rack. you should not connect it to the charge control actuator, they both have their own solenoids.

ahhh ok i see now that it goes thru the LIM, oi i was wayyyy off. In anycase, does anyone got any pics of how its suppose to be? where which line goes to where? in the diagram, it looks like they all converge at a single point, too small.

I hope you're not using that diagram to guide you through the vac hose replacement. Try this one:

wow, this one is so much clearer, i knew there was another one out there some place but i forgot where i booked marked it. in anycase, i fixed my little problem (the guy which did my car/worked on it before me was a total moron!). for some reason my secondary bov hose was Ted to my primary bov as well as my secondary one, I was having some pretty weird *** boost problems but i kinda masked them by using manual boost controllers. i eventually hooked everything back correctly and now my car is running better then ever, i have only been scared 2X im my car because of its power, first time was when i stepped up from my 50rwhp desiel benz to my FD in its fairly crappy form and when WOT for the first time, second time was today when i pretty much fixed 100% of the boost problems and for the first time ever got a solid and scary boost curve when I went WOT.

again, thanks for the pics and the info guys, i would have never though that the vaccum lines near the LIM actually went thru it instead of into it.
