Has anyone here installed the VI and willing to help me install it? They would be compensated. I want to get the VI but I don't think I'd be able to install it myself. I want the install to be quick and clean.

 

Get a chilton's manual and read Section 3-17.

It's not that difficult, really. Just a little time consuming.

I would feel safer if someone who has done it did it for me. or at least helped me. I've never taken on something of this size. I've installed intakes and small things like this. But if I screw this one up, I won't have us of my car. That would be bad.

It's pretty hard to screw something up. Theo nly real danger is dropping something down inside your engine after taking the manifold off.

To remedy this, just stuff each port with a towel or rag to keep dust and screws from getting in your engine.

If you do that, the chance of screwing something up is 0.

And hooking up the vaccum canister and mounting everything is a snap? If so, I'll jump right in and be the next guy with VI. =)

Yes, the vacuum system is easy as long as you understand this:

1)Buy a good vacuum canister
2)The solenoid is activated by the relay connecting it to ground (it has constant power, but no ground when dis-activated)
3)The RPM switch should be hoked up to a coil wire (the multi-colored one), and set to 'Coil per Cylinder', NOT '6 Cylinders'

if you really don't wan't to give it a shot, call Jeff @ MaximumTuning in the NE section.

 

ok, i'm ready to give VI a try!! where do I buy the vacuum canister?

 

You can buy one anywhere.

NAPA has one that has a check valve built in...it looks like this:



Vacuum Tank NAPA part #730-1607 ~$12.00

(Thanks to MardisGrasMax for the Pic and PN)

 

I'm in NJ and would definately also pay someone to help me install this. I don't have the understanding of all the components to know how to do it myself.

I already bought this vacuum tank but I am wondering, which is the in and which is the out? The two ports are different sizes, so I am not sure which is which. Thanks for the help.

 

I'll go look at my car in the morning and let you know.

 

Fat port goes to your vacuum source.
Small port goes to your solenoid.
