Will these affect the performance of a stock FI 2.0L engine negatively in any way?

QUOTE(Elliot Cannon @ Jan 22 2014, 05:13 PM)  Yeah I know the K&N battle, but does anybody run these things? I'm more or less questioning the vacuum line hook ups and vacuum effecting FI performance. Not so much if K&N is a good air filter. Jon |

QUOTE(Jon H. @ Jan 22 2014, 05:44 PM) I'm more or less questioning the vacuum line hook ups and vacuum effecting FI performance. The FI doesn't really care exactly where its lines are hooked up. It just needs specific hoses to either be hooked to manifold vacuum, or to ambient-pressure (filtered) air. So as long as you hook up the hoses that used to go to the air cleaner to something "upstream" of the throttle body, you're fine. (The exceptions to only manifold vacuum or ambient air are the lines from the throttle body to the distributor dashpot. But those don't enter into this discussion anyway.) --DD |
