Need help with DV installation..in the middle of it!
Need help with DV installation..in the middle of it!
When removing the mess of stock hoses and vacuum lines that is the Diverter Valve plumbing I inadvertantly pulled off a small piece that looks like a check valve and it is black one one side and white on the other, about a quarter in diameter and 6 quarters high with a 1/2 inch small guage vacuum connector on each side. It was located between a piece of clear tubing that leads to the car and a piece of flexible vacuum tubing on the diverter valve. My question is, does the black side go toward the clear tubing, or toward the diverter valve. I thought the white side went to the clear tubing but I can't remember and I don't want to get it wrong.
One more thing, for clarity's sake, the clear tubing uses a piece of vacuum tubing about an inch long used as a connector that links it to this valve. I hope this makes sense, and I'm waiting to put the car back together for an answer...Help!
Thanks in advance.

In one picture the valve is shown. I plugged it in in the direction I think it was in but like I said in the OP I am not sure. In the second picture, "A" is a vacuum tube that was plugged in to a long clear plastic tube and "B" was plugged in to the valve in question.
Any help is greatly appreciated...don't want to re-assemble without knowing.

Here are pics during my install, see if they help. The last picture is when I replaced the F hose with a braided double layer hose 3 months later when it split...

You guys lower your engine to do this? I just removed and reinstalled both DV's yesterday in about an hour... maybe an hour and a half, start to finish. Its super cramped, but lowering the engine is pretty extreme! I removed my Y-pipe to get better access. How easy is it to lower the engine anyway?

"Lower" is relative we're talking maybe 3", not dropping the engine out of the car. 5 - 10 minutes to gain clearance above the engine; jack under the engine crank case, remove to big nuts from below the the rear engine mounts, lower the engine 2 -3". For those of us with larger hands and high blood pressure it makes this job a breeze.

What he said...it takes about 5 minutes and makes the installation tremendously easier.
Funny story...after reinstalling, I put my y-pipe back on and attached everything but forgot to tighten the large hose clamp that seals it to the plenum. I couldn't understand why the car felt so flat and wouldn't exceed .9 bar during the first test runs. Minor boost leak!
