Problem: I supect a huge vaccum leak somewhere that i cannot find.
The car fires up and runs no problems, however when i push on the throttle i get very little difference if any in the rpm. Any ideas anyone?

I suggest putting back all the hoses you removed to see if that solves the prob. If so... you know that something you removed is causing the prob.

I plan on doing that this weekend. Im just curious because ive seen mutiple zxt's set up like this. Am i supposed to have done something else with the car before removing these items?

Had the brilliant idea to use the search button. (GO FIGURE) and read the n42 thread. I guess im just one of the unlucky ones who cant do this clean up of the intake mani. Gonna put the bypass valve back on and not put a block off plate on the aac valve.

Didnt want to start a new thread. Just a quick question? What body kit/style is this.

Also curious if its neccesary to run the charcoal canister, just want to know if the car will still run normaly with all those lines removed. I figured id have to remove all that for when i put my intercooler in. The setups ive seen dont have them so the ic piping fits. Input appreciated

Well i put everything back to the way it was but im still experiencing the same problem

There used to be a red one featured on Overboost.com ... looks like that website is no more. Though HBZ posted pics of it: http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?...t-racing-team/

Yes, you can remove the charcoal canister, but you should add a filter on the fuel tank vent tube. As for the "ic piping fits"... notice that on the stock setup, none of the charcoal canister lines go to the J-pipe (what you would be replacing w/ an IC setup). They go to the intake manifold & to the AFM to turbocharger boot.

What's your timing at? Is your TPS securely connected?

Solved my problem. The vacc hose i bought from a hadware store wasn't working and i just meant, would ic piping still fit with the charcoal canister in there?

Problem not solved. I bought all the proper vacc lines and put back all emissions equiptment. but my car still stall out after a few seconds. My guess is my tps plug. BUT. i was looking at msa plugs and they are all two prong, while my throttle valve switch has three prongs on it, i dont see a specific plug on msa. Anyone know if a fuel inj plug or any of the others on msa are compatible?

nevermind on this dumb post, i found a lage vacc line going from the afm tube to the intake that had a thumb size hole in it

ok, new lines didnt help, i hear a leak coming from the carbon canister. I plan to just remove it so i can fit my ic piping through the hole in the frame in front of the canister. Is there any i need to do besides pluging the open vaccum ports and adding a filter on the fuel tank vent tube? My motor lopes and idles poorly. my tps plug is nice and secure other than the canister leak im lost for ideas

I would check the ground wires on the motor and ecu plugs. I have pics here on ZDriver of the notorious bad ecu wires...

EDIT... here's a pic:
