Thumbs up Golden Eagle Vacuum Manifold?


http://www.goldeneaglemfg.com/street.html

Any thoughts on this? I'm thinking about ordering one to eliminate all of the "T's" in my turbo setup. From the looks of it, you just get a pressure signal from the intake manifold, then hook up your boost gauge, MAP sensor, wastegate, etc all directly up to the Vacuum Manifold. Looks pretty cool to me

I looked at that a long time ago. Its kind of ugly though especially with their Eagle logo. I managed to get one that was a black block without any logos. It was a while back but I think I found it on eBay - cheap as I recall.

I agree, that logo isn't too pretty, but I'm thinking the other side is most likely blank.

Seems to be a good way to go even if it isn't all that attractive.

I found a different brand on the 'bay, but it was even uglier.

I found this:

You can get it in black to make it less noticeable. I hate to bring them up but AAM's throttle body spacer could also be used for this.

Why thank you. You could also ask a local machine shop to make one. Just need a small block of aluminum and have them machine out however many ports you need and tap them to 1/8" NPT. You could then powder coat, polish it, etc. Hell they could even put "Failsafe Motorsports" on it if you want them to.

Seriously.... Well if you get a machine shop that's willing to make a nice piece for cheap you could. BTW if you are looking to hide the vacuum block you can drill and tap a couple holes in whichever vacuum manifold you are looking to get thats just deep enough for a mounting bolt and and then mount it in the battery or brake fluid compartments. The sheet metal for those compartments is really thin and easy to drill through. If you put it in there all you would say from the engine bay is two bolts which look factory going into the sheetmetal of the compartment. A buddy of mine did that for his Zeitronix MAP sensor, Evap solenoid, etc... That's where I have my MAP sensor too.

I have used the ones from McMaster which come in black with nothing on them. You'll have to hunt around a little to find it though unless I can dig up a part number.

I found them. They offer them in all different setups, but a 6 outlet manifold starts around $15 for black anodized 6061 aluminum. Follow THIS LINK to check them out. You will need barb fittings, which mcmaster also carries.

The plenum is thick enough to just drill and tap one or two 1/8 NPT or BSPT ports on by the brake booster. The APS plenum is extremely thick to drill even nicer ports in its casted in additional injector bungs that never got used as they had originally planned for their extreme fuel system.

My car only has one extra vacuum port that I added to the manifold, for the boost controller. The boost gauge has a single T off the EVAP line going behind the throttle body. The stock vacuum port on the front goes to the blow off valves.

I hear you can use one of those plastic aquarium air meter blocks. You can even adjust the amount of vacuum you want each accessory to see.
