3Katz Donating Members 122 Member For: 7y 2m 13d Posted 09/04/18 09:29 AM Share Posted 09/04/18 09:29 AM Hi, I am in the process of fitting a turbo engine to my RTV and have a question. The sedan I've taken the engine from was a conversion as well and I'm not sure on this vac line. The sedan had this fitting which I thought was a check valve (it's not) and my ute had this straight through connector. I've traced the hose and it goes back to the fuel tank. Shouldn't there be a check valve to stop boost pressure finding it's way to the tank? I imagine the brake booster hose should have a check valve as well? Thanks guys Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93844-turbo-conversion-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

(next to the ac accumulator in your first pic) Booster has an internal check valve Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93844-turbo-conversion-problem/#findComment-1655272 Share on other sites More sharing options...

3Katz Donating Members 122 Member For: 7y 2m 13d Posted 14/04/18 06:07 AM Author Share Posted 14/04/18 06:07 AM (edited) I got it all running and driving, it's in limp mode which can only be expected after coming from a sedan with abs and traction control, should be an easy enough fix at a tuner or Ford I guess. I have another question about this vacuum hose with the blue fitting in the picture below. I'm assuming it goes to a vacuum tank which stores vacuum for the n/a engines intake butterflies and also the diff lock on the RTV's? It doesn't seem to have a check valve but does it have some other control to prevent it receiving boost pressure? I will be needing vacuum to engage diff lock, even more so nowbut don't want to hook it up without knowing...
