Caboobaroo Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 I'm finally in the process of hooking up all of the lines and wires in my RX. Just have a few quick questions since I don't have a Haynes manual or anything. First off, I need to see a pic of the routing of the hoses to the stock boost controller so them I can hook my EBC into it. I also have to see where most of the vacuum hoses go on the passenger side ie the carbon canister and whatnot Second, since I pulled the old engine, I can't seem to locate the fuel return hose but I see where it goes onto the intake since I'm using the original intake. It should be coming out the same area as the fuel input right next to the filter right? Now I need a wiring diagram for a 4EAT so I can locate the two wires for the neutral safety switch, if not, I'm gonna have a big red push button on the dash;) I also need the correct firing order for the disty as well. I dunno if its the same as the EA81 but better be safe then sorry. Next in line is for the cargo cover. I've done some quick searching but came up short. My cargo cover needs to be fixed so it will retract but I need to know how. I probably have more questions but that'll do it for right now...

idosubaru Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 the XT6's have the vacuum hose routing pictured under the engine hood. RX aint like that? yeah fuel return is close to the other fuel lines by the fuel filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 I don't think the hood that I have has the right diagram but I can look on the old hood off of it since I replaced it. *Bump* I still need some of these questions answered guys...

stngllhm Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 you're using the white hood you got from aren't you. cuz if you you are it is off my 88 rx so it should be the right diagram. i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondasucks Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 the stock EBC is used, from what I gathered by looking at AllData, is used to keep the boost correct at high altitudes. For some reason my wagon doesn't have it.. your EBC should connect between the wastegate actuator and the compressor side of the turbo, basically T into the line that's there. (I dont' know about yours; I have one vacuum line that runs from the compressor housing to the wastegate actuator) I'm not sure how your EBC works but the ones I've seen basically just modulate the pressure going to the wastegate, so it doesnt' get enough pressure to open the wastegate until whatever you have the EBC set at.

Caboobaroo Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 Well them come over and help me get her squared away!!! Its getting close just small things like what I'm running into. I also am going to pick up a sheet of header gasket material for all of the gaskets I need for my turbo until I can afford the TWE header and an aftermarket downpipe:brow: I also have to get hosing for the turbo as well so I can finish plumbing it all in and start her up!!! the stock EBC is used, from what I gathered by looking at AllData, is used to keep the boost correct at high altitudes.
