B230 Intake problems

243_Phantom · 10-24-2005, 11:27 PM

help! I pulled the intake manifold off of my B230 yesterday and there were no hoses connected to it. could somebody please tell me if this will work on my B23? it's getting a +T and could use some extra fuel from the B230FT injectors. if it will work, what do I hook up? I know it's a lot to ask, but if everybody tells me one thing, I can get it done. I'll even post pictures.

thanks,

joe

I believe you need:
- A connection to the idle air control valve (and from that valve back downstream of the throttle-body)
- A large-ish connection to the brakes
- A connection to the fuel-pressure regulator (assuming you're using EFI & not K-Jet somehow)
- A connection to the vacuum-bottle inside the cabin (for heater controls)
- A connection to the charcoal canister if your system uses one
- A connection to your boost gauge
- A connection to the wastegate &/or boost controller
That's all I can think of at the mo' ...

::drooling:: k-jet and a turbo on a B23. that would be interesting.

Or a nightmare, one of the two.

Hey, if K-Jet can feed a 5.4 litre V8 in a Porsche, it can feed a turbo Volvo 2.3 with ease!
