last connections, questions about fuel system


 

I have read through the files about the charcoal canister and fuel supply, but I think my engine is a little bit different. I am not totally sure so I figured yall nice folks will help me out. So, 02 2.5L sohc rs out of a impreza. oh I dont have the suby charcoal canister so vw she be for better or worse...
Fuel. top of the rail- supply
middle- return
bottom- white line from canister

on the intake manifold.
On the right hand side looking towards the van
bigger barbed line-
on the left a tiny barbed fitting-

Can I use the big right hand side for the brake booster and the left hand side little barbed fitting to the purple line? My mechanical manual for the engine says the big one is for the brake booster on a subaru, but its advised to use it for the purple line.
I'm getting close!! so far about half of my money has been spent on bandaids(duck tap), soap and shop towels. Hopefully soon I'll be spending all the money on gas.


 

If i understand your question correctly i'd advise using the larger
intake manifold fitting for your vanagon brake booster and the smaller
one for your vacuum feed(s) to the charcoal cannister. You can tee
off the line once connected to the smaller intake fitting in order to
feed both vanagon charcoal cannister lines. Or, as per the Kennedy
instructions you can splice into the vacuum line running from the
throttle body down into the subaru charcoal cannister plumbing (at
least that's pertinent for earlier subaru engines).
Here's a bit from my website to give you some pictures to reference -
for both the subaru cannister installation and for keeping your
vanagon cannister.
