Vacuum line

[itrboi]

Busy fitting my Skunk2 intake manifold, where do people connect the vacuum line to that is on the back of the power steering pump?

You on about that black one with the 90 degree bend in it?
That's for the PCV valve.

Guessing skunk do away with it? Rbc just fits the same way.
I'd be keeping it, as it's to do with the oil breather system. Unless you are doing something to replicate, or remove the need for it.

Yeah sk2 dont have a port for it, most just leave it open, but if it was me i'd get a small catch can, have it go in to that and then in to the intake pipe so it still has a vacuum

Was thinking of getting an unequal t and connecting it with the vac line going to the brake servo

I left mine disconnected by accident one day and the revs were bouncing up and down.

Strange, I emailed tdi north in the end and was told just to run it to atmosphere through a catch can

That's your call man. It's just not my chosen route.
I've got a catch can setup, that I haven't got round to fitting yet. But it won't be as simple as just running it to atmosphere.
I'll have to re read the manual, but I was under the impression it uses the vacuum from the inlet to scavenge the gasses. Rather than they just expel from internal pressure.

There's a wealth of testing done on club rsx, Honda tech etc. To the point someone actually connected gauges up, to see when these lines went positive or negative.

Yeah I'm tired of reading on the subject now which is why I emailed tdi.

From what I gather in simplistic terms I think the pcv is like a pressure release but for emissions etc manufacturers put it back into the engine via vacuum from the inlet manifold

I think Anyways this is the logic I'm going with

I think this will be more the vacuum port on the manifold being open rather the the pcv valve being disconnected.

Your car will be trying to control the idle whilst there is a hole in the manifold
