    First Drive!!!

    As you may have surmised from previous posts, it is officially a driver in the go cart stage. I have not taken a decent video with a camera in the car but have a few short clips of trial runs in front of the house on my youtube.

    I was looking at your first youtube there where you pan around the engine bay, hoping to see how you plumbed up the CMCV valves. Couple of questions for you:

    1. You didn't need to put a 1/2 barb into the 90deg intake tube ?
    2. I can see the DS has a 1/2" heater tube going from the valve cover to the rear of the engine. Did you select the "relaxed emissions option" ?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    it took me awhile to figure out that the 17 version of the coyote was different from many of the directions posted. You need to hook the plastic line coming out from under the passenger front of the intake to a vacuum source. I hooked mine up to a port behind the butterfly. That’s it. No other connections needed. I am running the relaxed emissions setup. The intake will eventually be replaced with a cold air setup. There are some great threads in the roadster section related to your questions.
