Vacuum Lines?

BTW my car is a 87 Turbo.

I've posted this before a long time ago and searched also. But I never really got any good pics. I also know that I can find the vaccum diagrams on fc3s.org.

What I wanted is a few good pics of your guys cars with the upper intake mani off. So I can see the vacuum lines clearly.

I just got in my reman and now I'm connecting all the vacuum lines with new silicone lines.
I'm kind of cluless since I bought my car with a motor that caught fire so I've never seen the lines intact.

Thanks for any help you can give,
Ed

You don't need pictures. Look at the factory service manual. It clearly shows where everything goes.
If you want to get rid of the vacuum spider crap, there's a shitload of info in the thread as well that goes back a couple years.

I printed the factory service manual, but have you seen how small some of those vacuum pics are. Hard to read.

So I would still like some pics if anyone has any good ones.
Somebody had to haven taken pics of an engine tear down.

I have pics of a TII with the upper manifold off but its a load a crap to keep the vacuum trap. You only need like 4 lines if you want i'll tell you what to hook up where and what to block to eliminate the nest. I have hree friends all 87 TII's none have the vacuum traps. Let me know if you want the elimination directions or pics of the stock nest.

Please post the stock pics I'm in the middle of hooking them up as we speak.

I think I have al lot of this firgured out but I have a question.

I'm going premix.

I know I can cap the big vacuum nipple on the upper manifold that goes to the oil spider, but theres one I dont know about.

The nipple directly above that big one I just spoke of on the upper mani goes directly inbetween the lower oil injectors on the housings.

Can I cap this, does it only supply fresh air to the oil injectors?

Please someone who went premix help.

Ed

Thanks but I have that pic, I know it, and I already said dont worry I figured out where the lines went.

My question is to people who have already went premix.
Did you cap the vacuum nipple in between the primary oil injectors and why?

I'm asking because it seems to me the hose gives fresh air to the oil injectors, but I've heard that that nipple is for the fuel injector bleeds to help atomize.
