I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?**PICS**
 

could i JB weld a barb on the end of the charge pipe right before the throttle body so the waste gate has it's own vacume source?
:o
i mounted a brass barb to the charge pipe using JB Weld.
i painted the weld joints, and the barb fitting joint with stainless silver manifold paint (brush on) for that ghetto fabulous look. the hole i drilled for the barb was a very tight fit. the barb fit securely with a few taps from a hammer.

i know something similar to this was covered but excuse me for when i asked this question about 3 different people answered a different question afterwards.

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

Oh my god, you could JB weld a fitting on your pipe and then when you pop the hood you could be like "Ya my boyz at HMTZ told me to do that and it rockz" Or you can do it the right way

Vacuum Manifold, Import your brake booster fitting into this then out the backside and walah, you have enough fittings for everything. Not to mention it looks pretty good too.

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

that thing's $45. on ebay. i think i'll jb weld a plastic barb to the charge pipe and paint the CP and barb chrome color. aslong as it works. i'll make sure it looks acceptible. thanks though i never knew that golden eagle thing existed.

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

wastegate can have a source closest to the compressor for quickest response, but in terms of 'vacuum' you would need something from the manifold after the tb, not before on the charge pipe. i.e. at idle, there is high vacuum in the manifold, not in the charge pipe.

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

Vacuum manifolds and fittings can be had for around $20. Go to McMaster Carr. They have everthing you need.

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

i made my own vacum log for my ITB set-up which I had to sell.. :'(

very ghetto, but it worked awsome.
i just used a piece of square steel stock I found in the trash can, welded the ends, I drilled holes into it, and then i used fuel line which I paid $1.50 for to make the "T's" comming out. it fit very tight with the vacum lines, the ends that were suspossed tapped to tie into the pump, i used and i stacked them together, which was a perfect size to tie into the brake booster, and JB welded everything. even over the welds. it sealed everything perfect.

isnt it ghetto.

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

lol did you HAVE to let it drip like that? nice im gonna do the same thing.

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

well pretty much everything was wet with JB weld, so I set up on a deep well socket, and let it set, and well it just dripped. i was gonna sand it all down,(as you can see) but thought, what the hell, it adds charactor. LOL.

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

Call it, flare for the obvious....vacuum tee? 15 cents.

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

we had problems with the T's. this worked better ;)

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

It looks like that was you intention to make it as ghetto as possible :o

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

OMg that one's going in the record books. :o

That's almost as bad as homemade mandrel bends. :P

dont be a cheap ass. just buy the vacuum log

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

Since your a noobie I'll be nice. This is homemadeturbo where we're all cheap

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

WTF was wrong with it. I think I had about $5 in the entire thing, it worked perfect, what is the matter with it?.

BTW, we made 2.

yeah. put it in the record books...

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

paint it and even out the nipples for the pansies

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

Yeah, and then throw it away. :P

Just kidding. Function over fashion. If it works, it works.

we smoothed the other one out and painted it flat black.
stealth...it looked really good accually.

I like the ghetto look. for some reason it just appeals to me.its just the way I like things.

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

so far there have been a few replies to my question, yet no one has answered if putting a barb on the charge pipe before the throttle body would make the waste gate work good? It's a waste gate actuator (internal waste gate)
?? :o?? :P

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

well, i think the point that has been made is clear. use a vacume log. a homemade one at that... 8)

how much more vacume do you want and what the ---- for.

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

all i need is for the waste gate to have it's own vacume source. i have the wastegate, blow off valve, and fuel pressure regulator hooked upto one vacume source outta the intake manifold. my boost goes up to max boost and then falls down 1 1/2 psi. this is with an internal wastegate and i'm sure it'll work better with it's own boost source.

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

So your asking if you put the barb before the throttle body is better than what? It's before the throttle body as it sits. Did you mean to say after? There is no vac in the charge pipes.

wastegate doesnt need vacuum, so yes, you can run it off of a charge pipe.

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

Yeah, but he wants a vac source for it. :P

thanks, i'm gonna run the waste gate off the charge pipe.

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

I'm still wondering where it was hooked up before? ???

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

it was hooked upto the turbo compressor housing and i hooked it upto the manifold to see if it would spool up faster and it does.

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

damn that is hmt ---- right thea! 8)

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?
 

Craig has them for 29 bucks, and they dont look like ghetto ass ---- in your engine bay either. Personally I like my wg to be on Vac/Boost source, not soley a boost source.

As far as sccaeg's piece, something like that would work, but claiming it only cost 5 dollars is bs when it's obvious you have about 3 packs of jb weld on that thing ::)

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?**PICS**
 

isn't the compressor housing just a boost source, that's where i had it hooked upto before?

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?**PICS**
 

i think scaaeg used more jb weld then neccesary. less jb weld on the edges would've worked just as good. that thing scaeeg built won't see more than 15psi in it's lifetime. that's nothing for jb weld.

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?**PICS**
 

well, ::) it held an air compressor pushin about 60psi going through it. thats how I know it worked.

and use to much JB weld. I didnt know you could do such a thing....










JB weld is my friend. 8) <--i like this smiley. 8)

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?**PICS**
 

Yup,

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?**PICS**
 

man for 5$ u could have take a piece of 1" sqaure bar drilled the middle out, and drilled 5 holes on the side, tapped those with a 1/8 npt or 1/4 npt and stuck some barbs in.

that ---- is ghetto, u might wanna flare the end so it doesnt pop off :-X

Re:I ran out of vacume sources, could i create one from the charge pipe?**PICS**
 

well, if you look above, its pretty much what I did...
