everyone here will just tell you to get the EFI engine.. haha
i too have this same engine and since yours is not in a car im guessing the vacuum hoses
are all missing.. mine runs ok without the vacuum tree, but it sucks fuel like a V8!
heres how i have my vacuum setup and it runs ok, no sputtering or nothing!
- 1 line to the ignition, it needs it to spin it on startup
- 1 line to the brake booster, brakes work like crap if you dont
- 1 line to the turbo wastegate and cap the other one off..
- 1 line to your boost guage inside..
thats all i have! no 7 miles of delicate vacuum crap..
a big upgrade is getting rid of the 4spd and get a T5 out of a 2.3 mustang
in the JY, i got mine for $50 bucks
also a ranger roller cam is a big upgrade, thats on my list!
the turbo is probably why the engine blew black smoke!
gpopshop.com has the rebuild kit for our draw through turbos, make sure you let them know the engine is draw through because it needs a carbon seal..
i think i payed $100 for the rebuild kit.. you can probably send them the turbo and they do the job, but i dont know for sure..
heres a picture where you can see that vacuum is only going to the ignition and wastegate, he has a yellow cap on the other outlet on the wastegate, i did exactly that and car runs ok.. just like in the picture, i also capped a bunch of stuff and deleted the egr..
good luck!
