    Vacuum intake manifold or Air intake?

    Hello! I am going to install this generator:





    manufacturer says that the production is +2 l/m at high amperage

    I plan to use a smaller amount of electrolyte because i dont need so much production. My engine is only 1.3 Lit

    My questioning is this: i need to plug the generator to vacuum intake manifold or to Air intake? Or both?
    I will appreciate if someone explains the advantages and disadvantages of this methods.

    Thank you!

    Cool

    nice cell!!! people connect there cells to vacuum because it increases there prouction. it is ok the connect it to the air intake since production is not a problem with your cell. that a cool idea with the bubbler acting as a reserve and a cooling container. do you mind saying how much you paid for it or how much it cost you.

    Thank you! I paid about 200 USD + shipping cost to Greece (for 1 cell, not the pair you see in photos)
    People says that i will also need an ''original'' bubbler and i think that i will apply this advice.

    Be carefull

    Put the tube UPSTREAM of the butterfly, between the air filter and the butterfly. Preferably as close to the butterfly as possible.

    If you put it past the butterfly, you will have maximum vacuum at idle and minimum vacuum at full throttle, exactly opposite of what you want

    why is there less vacuum at faster speeds

    I think he is meaning that if you put the line under the throttle you will have manifold vacuum, when you operate at wide open throttle the manifold vacuum will be close to zero.

    If you use a "timed vacuum port" that is above the throttle, the vacuum goes up due to venturi effect and higher air flow rates make more vacuum.

    That is based on carburators, I don't know how it relates to fuel injection systems. It may not ! Carbs I get, FI --- not so much.
