Rb25De Neo Vacume Lines

[Keith w]

In an attempt to clean up the top of the shit fight that is the N/A rb25 neo because I now run copper spark plugs that need replaced more often (and just for a better look) I relocated the vacume lines and one heater hose at the back above the cam covers (pictures below will explain) my car doesnt seem to pull as hard?? It idles fine, no engine lights come on or anything, it just doesnt pull as hard. Its got me stuffed, I havent broken or removed anything, just relocated it. Can anyone help?

This could be monitored with a vac gauge but it sounds like you have a vac leak possibly although the rb25de isn't suppose to be a fast car . But that's what I think just make sure all the lines you changed are not leaking and all clamps are secure.

One of the hoses you have removed controls the baffle in the intake that activates for mid-range torque and power. It runs from a copper diaphram on the manifold after the throttle body. It has an actuator connected, that missing plug. with the engine running you can see it open and close when the plug is connected/disconnected. the tube going to it must NOT be blocked or bypassed. It has to go to the intake post-filter

Pretty sure it sits between the dual intake pipes
