Look joe

[TFD]

Put one of my SS fuel lines on today
Expected it to be easier



When putting the red collar over the fuel pipe how hard should it be to screw it on ?

 

What thread sizes are you using? Railthread, AN thread etc. Thanx!

Looking good. What route did you go down in the end with the PCV system?

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

As soon as I've proven catch tank I'm going oem If catch tank is not enough ( filter goes black ) I will be spending money on a fancy separator But still oem

[haggi961]

No worrys. I'm still undecided in what to do but I thinking drilling and tapping a hole on the rocker cover above the pcv opening is the route I'm doing.

Oem on the intake ( between air filter and throttle body ) but I will be shortening the route for when engine is breathing in Low load with two one way valves and a T piece will draw it later as I love a good drawing

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Does anyone no of a three way valve which would allow from cam both ways When it's sucking from inlet it closes filter off and vice versa My only worry with the latest drawing is air will just pull in from the small filter under vacuum

Third time lucky
 

Still think this is your best bet.

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

 

how about this martin slight change

[oakmere]

Looks good. Put the fuel filter by the TB intake pipe to make sure the catch tank is working ok 👍

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

You did the brake servo vacuum completely with  the Saab pump? Any difference in brake performance/feel?

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

No difference in feel apart from when braking and accelerating at the same time ( brakes are better )

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Also did get occasional hard peddle which I haven't had since

It'll make bugger all difference.

When I thought my issue was vacuum I bought one of these pumps with a vacuum switch.

Initially started with it kicking in after 2 pumps of the brake pedal (which didn't stop the hard pedal) and eventually I tried it on constantly and still no difference. It also made no difference just to normal braking as well.

You have about 3 pumps before you're out of vacuum in the servo. The length of time you hold the pedal down for makes no difference, once it's held down it uses the same amount vacuum weather you hold it for 1 second or 10.

 

 

If you can recreate the problem I will guarantee removing the rear right ABS sensor will fix it, I'll buy you beer all night at the national if it doesn't.

If you've ever had it at the end of a long straight and you've got a lot of speed and momentum (ie you're pushing for dear life) you'll have found it takes a good second or so before you get normal braking again.

All this time you're foot is off the accelerator and it's making good vacuum, yet you'll find it takes a lot less than a second for the servo to get up to full vacuum and much less to get enough for assistance.

 

Still don't believe me?

Start the car, have someone pull the vacuum pipe from the servo, you push the brake pedal (which is hard), then get the other person to attach the pipe and watch how quickly your pedal drops.

You do need to do this pretty fast as the engine will start revving up because of the "leak" you've just created
