I recently purchased a MEVI for my 97 max. Does anyone know a part number for a good vacuum reservoir? I am ont sure which one I need, so people were kinda reluctant to help me at stores that I went to.
Also, does anyone know where to run the vacuum line from? I have seen people use the fuel pressure reg line, but that can't be the best place.
The manifold went on very smoothly, but there is hole in the back kinda next to the egr setup(I think) and it was about half an inch higher than stock, so whatever that whole was for, the sensor that it connects to was too low...we had to cut the pipe it was attatched to and put a hoose in to extend it. What is funny is that I have never heard of anyone having this problem with their MEVI's, but it is quite a problem! anyway, I could really use some advice.

Thanks.

 

Look in the MEVI FAQ.

 

The only thing in the back of the MEVI is the EGR port and two nipples for coolant lines.

 

I never heard of that issue before.

 

Oh, I thought that it was the egr port but couldn't find it in the service manual so I wasn't sure. I never heard anyone mention that problem(most likely because it was so easy to fix...cut the pipe and add a hose to extend it, that's probably what others have done). Anyway, I have checked the MEVI faq before and never heard anyone mention a part number for the vacuum reservoir, or a better place than the fuel pressure reg line to get the vacuum. I am a little reluctnant to tap into that line as it is so important that constant fuel pressure is not compromised.
Can anyone shed some light on these topics?

 

do you have any pics to post

 

sorry, I don't really have any decent pics of the car, just some of it stuck in the snow, lol. and I think that I would have trouble taking a pick of the egr port(if that's what you meant), because it is so cramped back there, I can barely get my hand down there to put the screws back in!

 

btw, which vacuum canister did you use? i have been looking for a good one, but all that I see are huge. I konw a bigger one is no problem, but I would prefer a smaller one as it will take up less space under the hood. Most that I have ssen are like 6.5" by 4.5".

 

I know I have a lot of questions, it is because my car is not running right now so it is all I think about. After fixing the problem I mentioned above about the egr port not lining up anymore after the mevi install, one of the 4 manifold bolts broke!!! so the manifold leaks even worse now than with the egr port exposed! Unfortunately, I didn't have time to drill out the bolt and tap it for a new one...therefore my car is down until next friday when I will have time to work on it again.
Anyway, my question was: Has anyone seen any results having their MEVI extrude honed?
