Default fuel regulator vacuum pipe question ?

hi guys,
i was just wandering on my 8 t/b intake, will it be ok to run my adjustable fuel regualtor vacuum pipe of a t-piece fitting which then connects to my m.a.p pipe ,then to the intake cross ram base please ?

also r.e removal of egr valve as there are no provissions for it on the 8 t/b cross ram intake,is there any purpose for the charcoal cannister & pipeing now please ?

also i wont be using my idle air control as there is no provisions /use for that either, will that show any problem or code up at all please ?

i am going to run 30 lb ford motor sport injectors, what is a good fuel preasure setting to start out with with this 8 seprate 50 mm t/b,s please ?

and finally on my valve covers i have placed a breather vent on each cover and removed the pipe/egr fitting,is this ok to do please ?

thanks
regards
shae

Only has to see manifold vac so same as MAP signal

also r.e removal of egr valve as there are no provissions for it on the 8 t/b cross ram intake,is there any purpose for the charcoal cannister & pipeing now please ?
Canister is for fumes from tank; separate system to EGR

also i wont be using my idle air control as there is no provisions /use for that either, will that show any problem or code up at all please ?
How are you going to get it to idle?

Fitting removed is PCV valve , not EGR.; sucks fumes from crankcase.Much better to have it hooked up .

In other applications, people have supplied idle air through a line with remote solenoid

hi rodj,
thanks for your help,reply/info.
ok so i will leave t-pice hooked up then for reg preasure/map,cool- thanks
leave charcoal cannister as is /hooked up,cool- thanks

the intake does have t.p.s though,and t/b adjustable stops that you can adjust throttle body opening,will this help with idle please ?

now what about 30 lb injectors with adj regulator,what fuel preasure setting to start of with please ?

and finally r.e pvc valve,where can i coonect it up to though then please ?,as there is no where to hook it up to from valve cover though ?

r.e the idle air problem if needed ,i have made up a small alloy sealed box with 8 outlets and one outlet on end to hook up too map preasure for signal and then i have fitted my standrd idle air system/modified to top of box made and then all i have to do is hook up another 8 seperate brass fittings to the individual runners on the intake i guess.

r.e the remote line and solonoid you mentioned, any further ldeas /pictures about this idea please ?
any way thanks for your help/info
cheers

You really need to contact Paul (Boshvette) and see how he set his intake up.
