#1 The CA18DE & DET Q&A Thread Feel Free To Q&A
DatsAndy Posted on: 2013/5/12 12:04
Well Thought i would start a thread to help with Plumbing and wiring Questions For All Who have been there and are going there.

Will start it rolling with some plumbing Questions and pics.

Obviously a pipe connects to the circled part of the metal t piece in first pic, Where does it go ?

Do i need the little cannister in Pic numbered 1 ?

Can i block or re route where it connects to in pic
numbered 2 ?

Big hose goes to plastic crossover pipe after intercooler but before throttlebody. It is the air feed for the idle circuits. If you block that, the idle wont work. Next is vaccuum cannister for power valve. You dont need it if you want less torque below 4000rpm. Hoses can be rerouted but you must retain the different coloured plastic restrictors and one way valves connected in the lines.

Who would want less torque? Isn't more torque better than less torque?

Also see last month's topic: what goes where on a CA18

Maybe should have mentioned this is for a DE Engine The other thread all though helpful doesnt tell me where things go on a DE engine and with no disrespect intended it confused me more. Maybe im a bit simple will search the net for pics and hopefully find enough pics to help me.

Andy. They are just vacuum lines to run all the vacuum opperated things around the engine. One will go to the intake butterflies, which is what dattodude is referring to when he says you will get less torque below 4k rpm

Only vacuum opperated stuff on my car is the boost gauge, waste gate, bov and fuel pressure reg

Don't run any of the standard vac lines

Superfatto, if it reaches all the way to the front panel, then its probably the cold idle solenoid under the throttle body.
