** Rebuilding a Stroked/Turbo VT Ecotec **

[edals]

You are going to have to check every single connector and trace it all the way along to see if its been caught, damaged or pinched somewhere.
That Yellow connector looks the same for the throttle body but mine is blue. same shape though.
Tracing a break is lots of fun, i know do it with networking lol
Just another bump, im sure you will sort it.

hmm i have another problem aswell the egr pipe on the top of the unit, goes into the pluneum yes??? my old plenum has one but the new polished one dosent???

if thats the case, you may want to block it off, and have it adjusted in your tune. or, have it drilled out in your plenum.

do the turbo manifolds have an EGR provision? if not, then do the first option.

i got extractors on the car at the moment ill block the hole off on them and pull the egr unit off the back of the engine, piss it off lol ugly thing anyway

If you stick with the standard ECU and get a mafless tune then all the EGR code in the software is removed and the EGR valve goes over your right shoulder.

....this^.....

where do these go to?? only 2 things left to hook up

any urgent help would be appreciated!!

 

[klampy]

the breather on the TB (if thats what you were referring to) gets blocked.

and the top pic, if ur referring to the hose? then im not sure, can you get a better pic?

 

[holden_4aw_lyfe]

yeah the hose i got my hand around, it comes from underneath the car?? like from the tranny maybe??

do i block the tb off still if its N/A? no turbos untill run in remember

 

[klampy]

TB nipple normally goes to the threaded fitting that lives in the base of the manifold. if thats gone to a catch can, just block the TB.

as for the other one, if it comes from under the car, it coudl be the fuel tank breather?
