Re: MiniRam pics? (396 Roadster)
I did a search on MINIRAM and Min Ram and got some info there, do you have an L98? Sounds like an LT1

Re: HELP !!! MiniRam help needed! (396 Roadster)
If you use the link at the bottom of my Signature you can see some pictures of my engine but since mine is not like tpis does it probably won't help you much. I modified the fuel rails and have dual fuel lines but that is hard to see in the pics. If you bought the fuel line kit it will hook up where your stock system did. If you don't have one and want one I have one I will sell. as far as the vac. lines just use the ports on both sides as is needed.

Re: HELP !!! MiniRam help needed! (396 Roadster)
The rear of my MINIRAM II has a larger 3/8 pipe tap hole hole that I run the Brake Booster vacuum off of.
Then I have two 1/8" vacuum line fittings :
On one hole I have the AFPR by itself
The other hole has the purge canister, T-eed off with the vacuum for the heating/AC controls which connects under the heater box on the passenger side.
The passenger side valve cover goes to the top of the throttle body and
The bottom of the throttle body goes over to the PCV valve which t's again with another purge line
That's it! PICS HERE http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=568510
Hope this helps!

Take the fitting out of the stock TPI manifold and buy a brass fitting that fits the MR hole.
Run steel tube or rubber tubing over to the booster.
I used the steel tubing from my TPI setup and then used rubber hose for the last 6 inches.

Buy a short length of steel pipe pre-flaired with fittings. Cut off one end, make two nice bends to go around the valve cover, then use rubber hose from there.

Where does the intake air charge sensor go?
Now I just discovered the TPIS fuel lines won't thread into my stock feed and return lines. I'm going to call them!

I moved mine to the air intake housing at the front of the car just above the air filter where the neck to the MAF is still round!
You can buy a wiring kit with plugs or do what I did, cut the wires and lenghten them to fit.

Re: HELP !!! MiniRam help needed! (ELEVENS)

Re: HELP !!! MiniRam help needed! (SUPERNINJAB0Y)
Actually, the LT-1 is a knockoff of the MiniRam. At least thats what the people at TPIS told me.
I had to return my fuel lines to TPIS for a refund. The angles on the ends that hook up to the stock fuel lines were way off. Sent them pictures and they agreed something was wrong. I decided to make my own fuel lines, and plumbed them right from the filters up to the back of the fuel rails. Looks a lot nicer to me.
I can't supply pictures right now as the manifold is sitting on a cart in the garage. Still waiting on heads.
