Member Contributer expvet Posted September 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted September 26, 2015 I am going to do a synch using a carbtune on my 2006 VFR and have a question. Do you connect the hoses ( restrictors installed) coming from the carbtune to the end of the disconnected hoses from the 5 way joint (shown as letter A in the diagram) or do you remove the hose connected to the throttle body itself (shown as letter B) and connect the carb tune hose there? I ask because the carbtune comes with adapters but those would screw into carbs and has no connectors to the throttle body hose itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Egg on Leggs Posted September 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted September 26, 2015 Take the 4 hoses off the 5 way adaptor. Screw the brass adaptors into the Carbtune hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer expvet Posted September 26, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 26, 2015 Thats my dilemma, I only received 8 (2 sets of 4) 5mm and 6 mm plastic adapters, which is what they include with the order. I purchased from Morgan directly the kit shown. No brass adapters were included. The adapters I do have are threaded on one end with a rubber o ring, but those are to thread into carburetors .

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted September 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted September 26, 2015 You should be able to get some adapters (male on both ends) that would allow you to fit the Carbtune hoses to the 4 hoses removed at (A). They should be available at any decent hardware store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the o rings off and screw them into the end of the carbtune rubber hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer hotshoerob Posted September 27, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted September 27, 2015 Disconnect each cylinder vacuum hose from the 5-way joint.Connect those hoses to the carbtune hoses, using the restrictors to join them together.

Member Contributer expvet Posted September 27, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 27, 2015 The restrictor as a connector seems like a good idea since it will not only connect the hoses but minimize the overall length. Thanks to all for your replies, now on to removing the airbox, which is a major PITA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to all for your replies, now on to removing the airbox, which is a major PITA! No it's not, it's simple once you've done it once and there are a lot less hoses to reconnect than the 5th Gen.

Member Contributer expvet Posted September 28, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 28, 2015 I was in the process during the off season but had a lot of difficulty removing the hoses, which would not budge. Now I have these hose removal tools that I expect will make things easier. Definitely once done you know the routine for the second time around.
