vacuum lines

[96GST16g]

i was told i can remove all my vacuum lines except the fpr and wastegate and bov is this right?

You can remove all emissions systems. Be sure to get an EGR block-off plate.

what would happen if i didnt and do i need to block off all the ports and stuff

[asshanson]

You'll need to block off all the ports on the throttle body. You'll also have to block off the lines that go into the intake pipe after the MAS.

If you just unhook the egr from vacuum line it should stay closed I think, but you should really remove the whole EGR valve and block it off with a plate, it's cheap.

The FPR is hooked up to a solenoid for easier starting, but you can remove that and just hook it straight up to the intake mani.

Of course removing these things will give you a check engine light....

not so worried about that, im also thinking about doing a six bolt swap since my seven bolt jus threw a rod bearing after 100 miles on the build, what is a good budget way to go? i have a 96 GST wit a evo III

2g pistons, 1g rods?

[96GST16g]

do u have to change anything for it?

[OMGkiwi]

you will have to machine your rods to get them to fit on 2g pistons, as there is a difference in wrist pin size.
