    I need help with where and how i attach the accelerater cable, choke cable, spring etc the pictures here will show how ive guessed it but i dont think its right,




    How do the cables get held in place?

    Also does the fuel lines look like there going into the right postion on carb does the one ive not attached go on the bit at top of carb??

    Also ive got all this left over, vacum hoses i think does anyone have any pictures of where it all goes

    Re: plumbing up the carb

    Your setup needs a couple of changes to be correct.

    The 1st, 2nd and 3rd pics you can see how the carb linkage attaches, Yours is upside down (Excuse the state of the engine bay it is of my last 5)

    The 4 pic I have shown you on your pic where the a/c cable secures to

    the choke cable has a metal cilp that holds it on to the bracket it is next to. as for the fuel line it needs to go above the one its on now.

    but a cable tie will do the job just the same

    The pics are of an old R5 when I used to do pretty much do as the tuners said.

    Things have changed now thanks to RTOC showing me the way

    A couple more pics that may be of help from my last C1J

    if you use silicon vacuum hose always put a clamp or tyrap around it as it will expand and start to leak on boost.

    Re: plumbing up the carb

    thanks for the pics they should help. what about the picture below (sorry about my paint editing im in a rush got to go work)


    is the pipe ive circled orange in correct place?

    Does the other pipe go where the orange arrow points to carb top.

    And what goes to the bit circled red?

    Also if i want to get rid of all the pipes and do the infamous 'cup mod' can you still run a dumpovalve?

    Also where does the metal piping go to on this bit?

    Re: plumbing up the carb

    is the pipe ive circled orange in correct place? No that should be on the bit your circled Red (Fuel Line in)

    Does the other pipe go where the orange arrow points to carb top. YES

    And what goes to the bit circled red? Fuel Line

    Also if i want to get rid of all the pipes and do the infamous 'cup mod' can you still run a dumpovalve? Yes - you will need to T into the AEI vacum line

    Also where does the metal piping go to on this bit? - Not sure never had a 5 with one on

    The metal pipe screws into the turbo elbow But if you're 'cup modding' it you'll want to block it off with a bolt on the elbow.
