rcrad4 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 hey guys! got my ej22 swap complete and am lovin how she drives! I am curious as to what everyone has done for getting a good vacuum for the heater controls? I hooked up what i thought might be sufficient but I can't change the control from anything other than the mid dash vents, to say the most important defrost. any input and ideas are greatly appreciated! thanks in advance, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obk25xt Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hook it up to the intake manifold runner! IF, you have everything hooked up properly to the EA system, it should work just fine. The canister in the the lil cubby near the pass side strut tower has a 1-way check valve in it, if you have the in/out hooked up backwards, you won't be getting the vacuum to the HVAC controls properly.....

rcrad4 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 alright, so now i've got the line going to the canister behind strut tower coming from a "T" that i put inline with the intake manifold runner. with that line going to #1 on the canister i had the same problem of no movement on interior vents. so I switched it to going to #2 on the canister. now I have movement on the interior vents BUT ONLY when i accelerate...... ?? any ideas on that....thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractor pole Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 damn sorry, after that brutal rain we had yesterday I spent this morning and half the afternoon trying to finish the roof on my house.

LPGsuperchargedBrumby Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 i have mine hooked straight to one of the vac ports on the intake runners with no vacuum accumulator.....it works fine except that i can't change heater while i'm at full throttle....and i normally don't fiddle with the heater when i'm at full throttle anyway so i'm sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
