Vacuum ports on intake manifold DC2R

[DC2R8D]

Recently changed my intake manifold and needed to utilize the stock vacuum ports on the back if the plenum cannot get them out tho! Seem as though they are seized in there tried all sorts or agents to loosen them.
The ports are for the brake booster so cannot really drive car without.

Anyone know where to purchase these from? Just after the little metal connectors to hook up the hoses onto the new manifold.

Any info appreciated cheers..

so the new IM has no vacuum outlets?

not sure you have explained it well?

you might mean that you need something like this? but in metal?

[DC2R8D]

the new IM has the outlets but no connectors just the holes where the connector/plugs should be.
thats exactly what i need but metal yes,
any ideas where to get some from tink?

this is where i get my fittings from, but you should find a local place; http://www.mitchellsengineerssupplies.com.au/

or try these guys: http://www.mscn.com.au/Scripts/prodList.asp

you will still need a machinist to cut and tap new threads...

but i still dont get how you could buy a manifold with no outlets?

[DC2R8D]

got it off nelson thats how it came

[DC2R8D]

would skunk themselves send some out to me? might shoot em an email

[tinkerbell]

well - what did nelson say about it?

this is all verrrry mysterious!

if teh outlets are so hard to remove (i know they are as i have had to drill one out to replace it)

why were they removed?

[tinkerbell]

you ARE talking about this gold coloured thing, yeah?

[DC2R8D]

It is isnt it haha...
yes those gold pestering pipes are what i am talking about.
havent spoken to nelson about it.. bought the intake with the port matched tb off him AGES ago and just never got around to installing it untill the other day...ill shoot him an email.

Skunk2 on the other hand werent very helpful, asked if i could purchase new ones and them be shipped out to me, their response was "If the manifold is off the car (which it isnt) you can tap the manifold and run A/N fittings." ?????

im guessing ill need to go through a similar process as this http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2150049

is there an easier way? a simple way... lol

[tinkerbell]

my advice is identical to Skunk2's advice.

[DC2R8D]

i dont 100% understand exactly what they meant by that, where can i buy these fittings and do i need to go though that extensive process as shown on Honda-Tech?

[tinkerbell]

i STILLLL don't exactly understand what you are talking about,

so pls post a picture of your problem and i will tell you exactly what to do and where to get it from.

or you can give it to me and i will fix it for a moderate fee...

[tinkerbell]

do i need to go though that extensive process as shown on Honda-Tech?

no you do not.

[tinkerbell]

this is what i'd buy:

then i would drill out the hole in the manifold and then use one of these to cut a thread



then i would screw in the blue fitting and make it airtight...

[DC2R8D]

got the standard fitting out... BUT it doesnt fit... haha

how would you assure the new fitting was airtight?
ah tinks workshop how much would u charge? if ud prefer to pm me plz do.
