so how did you shave the threads while keeping it round to fit in the VC ?

**BavarianLove** · 12-26-2010, 02:38 PM

I used a $40 table grinder. Epoxy fills in the imperfections.

**sirzepp** · 12-27-2010, 07:38 PM

I am solid...going with the Vibrant setup. Thanks BavLove, for point this out. Seems to be a much more elegant solution to this (I was getting pretty complicated in my approach).

**BavarianLove** · 12-27-2010, 08:00 PM

I am more than happy to help, Merry Christmas!

**jmargo** · 12-31-2010, 08:33 PM

Got it welded in but when I go to test it there is air coming out. No vacuum at idle....I ran the -10 straight to a vac guage with no checkvalve. Not sure if the angle is wrong or what.

**sirzepp** · 12-31-2010, 11:00 PM

Well poop. Another setup idea bites the dust. The angle looks right when comparing to BavLove's pics. I can't imagine why his would work and your's would not.

**BavarianLove** · 12-31-2010, 11:05 PM

Turn the fitting 180 degrees.

So the cutout is towards the rear ? I will.....

**cragg56** · 12-31-2010, 11:53 PM

It's to shallow. Your not in the exhaust stream plus I am assuming we are looking towards the front of tge car. I asked my question for a reason. Fluid dynamics shows that the pipe inserted in the middle of the exhaust with the angle preferably a 45 facing towards the exhaust outlet will draw the mist vacuum

I'm hoping we can figure out the problem...BavLove's works really well IMHO (2-2.5" HG at idle is great). Did you turn the cutout?

**Matutino** · 01-01-2011, 07:44 PM

i will replicate this set up if it works for jmargo
please keep us updated

**jmargo** · 01-01-2011, 11:30 PM

If it will ever stop raining I may get some work done.

It works just like BavLove's. I guess the missing link for me was the check valve. Once I put it in......

Now I just need to fab up some brackets and plumb it in.

**BadBoostedBmwM3** · 01-02-2011, 10:12 PM

Nice.

So do you have the slit facing towards the back of the car or towards the front of the car??

**jmargo** · 01-02-2011, 10:39 PM

That is facing toward. I am going to try different height and orientations to see what pulls the most.

toward which end??

Im interested to see the results of your future findings.

**sirzepp** · 01-02-2011, 11:14 PM

AWESOME! It made sense that it would work. I'll be ordering my stuff next week.

**jmargo** · 01-02-2011, 11:15 PM

Toward the front as seen in the earlier picture. I spun it 180 with the same results of vacuum.

**herrubermensch** · 01-02-2011, 11:39 PM

Forgive me for being ignorant, but why would the installation of a check valve make a difference in whether the Vibrant exhaust bung and fitting are effective to draw vacuum from the exhaust? Which check valve did you incorporate into the Vibrant setup and where?

I do not know why the check valve makes it work. Maybe someone smarter than me can chime in.

This is the one I bought.
