Hello, I'll start by saying this is my first build
The car is a 180sx shell with a very bare engine bay this week I hope to receive my vct sr20 back from the rebuilder.
I purchased the motor with no hotside and with limited stuff on it so also pretty bare.
In preparation for when I start assembling/ buying additional parts I'd like to ask about emmisions and vacuum. I plan to simplify the Water lines underneath the intake manifold and delete the iacv in the process. The egr charcoal canister and other emmisions things ellude me. Do I need to source these or am I able to do without? It's a little hard to understand without these things to begin with as to what to do with the the fittings.
Maybe someone could kindly list what to block and what to vent and mandatory parts.
All you need is wastegate, BOV (if you’re running one), and boost gauge (if you have one). Everything else can be capped and trashed. If you’ve got a boost controller, consult the directions, but if you’re going off wastegate spring then you can run all the vacuum lines to one of the vacuum ports on the intake manifold and you’ll be good. Idk why they had the boost pressure sensor before the throttle body, but I’d rather see what my wastegate sees 👀
Thanks max!
