23610, Where should I get the vacume for the fpr line?
Posted by RxR_Eclipse, Jun-01-02 11:26 AM
Ok I installed the cartech FPR today and it seems to hold at 50psi base good enough. But my question is where do I get the tap for the two fittings on top, I'm guessing that one goes to the manifold and the other???? which do I use?

For the signal, install a tee in the EGR Control vacuum hose coming off the back of the intake plenium. Run a hose from the tee to the FPR and connect it to the nipple that doesn't have a bleeder valve. Next, connect a small piece of hose (2-3") to the bleeder valve outlet on the FPR and the other end to the check valve.

Hope that helps... keep me updated on your install!

Ok I think I got it, but on the last part where do I connect the second hose to, what 'check' valve are you reffering to?

The check valve allows boost pressure to come out of the bleeder valve when needed, but closes under vacuum. Otherwise, the bleeder valve becomes a vacuum leak when not boosting. You should've got it with your FPR. Is yours a used one from an HRC installation?
