zx12 vacuum porting
Sorry for the revisiting.....
I currently have a 2000 zx12 that has all 4 throttle bodies plugged off.
Starting on cylinder #4 both the left and right vacuum ports are blocked
cylinder #3 both again are blocked off
cylinder #2 both again blocked off
cylinder #1 left vacuum port going to the fuel pressure regulator and then tee'd to the intake air sensor. Right vacuum port blocked.
The canister and the clean air valve have been removed...
Can anyone see any problems with this setup or performance problems ?????
Any comment would be appreciated.........
Cheers Ted

on my bike, with the emissions crap removed, all(4) the vaccum ports on the right side of each individual TB are capped, all the ones on the left are connected to the fuel pressure regulator and the air sensor. i dont think the sensor would get the right signal if connected to only one TB.

Well if I take the vacuum hosing like you state and hook it up the bike won't start..... it kind of fires then cranks........ fires then cranks....
The only way I can get it to start is to use #1 TB and tee it to the intake air sensor and the fuel pressure reg.
Could you draw a picture or post a picture of what you have ?>
I don't understand why it wont work for me >?
Thanks for all your help

my 01 and dads 00 are set up like this with the emissions stuff removed. didnt have any caps lying around so i just put a ball bearing in the lines to plug them.

the one on the left TB has a factory cap. the one on the right TB used to go to a catch tank under the gas tank, and the middle 2 used to go to the air pump that runs to the valve cover
