fish tank check valve PICS.
 

Because my missing link did not fit on my car, I had to go with the fishtank check valves. Made by HALGEN? I dunno, it cost me 3.50 CDN each...because I had bought the wrong sized plastic tees, I had to taper the tips using a dremel tool to fit the blue silicon tubes and the MAP sensor hose.
I used zipe ties to ensure a good seal. Using the proper sized tees, It would have taken me about 5 minutes to install...it took me about 45 minutes to do this. hope this helps someone out. (notice that there is no MAP sensor on the throttle body?)

Your motor is weird. :P That "fishtank" setup looks allot better than some of the ones I have seen. How well does it work for you?

Im just currious, whats the foil for?

Re:fish tank check valve PICS.
 

duh! to keep his IC Pipe Fresh ;)

Re:fish tank check valve PICS.
 

the foil is insulation. I made a cold air intake out of 2.5" mandel bent exhaust tubing which, oddly enough, will now serve as my downpipe. I wrapped it in duct insulation that I found in the garage.

i rememmber seeing a pic of a guy on honda tech who got bored and put like 50 of those things on his car. it was funny

those check's are sexy!

Re:fish tank check valve PICS.
 

I used those HALGEN ones for a little while, the checkvalves from Pet Cetera are better though, the HALGEN ones tend to collect intake manifold crap (kinda looks like Oil) and then it pools up and stops opening.....

Re:fish tank check valve PICS.
 

I have used those same plastice ones and at around 10 psi they seem to blow their tops off. First day I had mine hooked up it blew and took me a while to figure out why my car was running so dam rich. There was no vacuum going to the MAP so it thought it was at WOT when it was only idling.

Metal check valves solved that problem and I was able to boost 10 psi with only three valves.
