E-force install questions
Hi Guys,
I'm in the final throws of installing my E-force but am stumped on one part and require a bit of clarification in another.
Here is the stumped part:
Part 155: "Install the small factory vacuum hose running from drivers side firewall fitting on the small fitting on the drivers side of the air inlet"
Here is a pic of the part it shows in the diagram on the SC (Brown small connector in middle) Next pic shows what I believe the factory vacuum hose.
My question is, Is this the correct hose and where does the other end connect to?
Thanks in advance
Steve

What kit?
The only 2 hoses that come off the firewall (besides fuel line) would be the EVAP line that you show but I am pretty sure the one the instructions are referenceing is for the optional NPP exhaust.

This might do better in the Forced Induction forum. I don't know if Motorhead even looks in OTHER forums on here. He's the install guru.

Frikkin hell, thats going to be a pain in the butt....
Got it all fully installed last night and left that open, I'll pop by Checkers/Autozone and pick up a length of rubber pipe and bend it back. Was the earlier post correct saying that it could be the NPP?
Drove the car to work today, she drives like a dream, I can't believe that I held out so long, if anyone is on the fence, go for a ride and feel the difference for yourself.

Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 1
Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 2
Could they be related to not having the connection capped?
I also am also experiencing the "Duck" sound for horn, I see this has been discussed on the following link http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-f...install-4.html

A vacuum leak will trigger codes P0171 and P0174. If the MAF is not calibrated properly, this can also throw codes P0171 & P0174. After my install (Kit 1593 - 549hp) and using Edelbrocks supplied tune, triggered both lean codes. To eliminate these codes required recalibration of the MAF (Engine > Airflow > General Airflow > Airflow vs Freq low and Airflow vs Freq high) by more than 30%. Even after you plug your known vacuum leak, elimination of these codes may require MAF Calibration.

When I installed the 1593 Kit on my 06 Vert, I just reused my OEM bracket for the horns and did not use the bracket supplied with the Edelbrock Kit. When installing my kit I removed the horns and horn bracket. When the instructions called for installing the horns I just reused the OEM bracket, returning it to it's original location. In my case I was stumped as to why Edelbrock provided a different bracket.
