devan Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Hi, Just been looking around the engine bay and noticed the pipe in the picture just there, it goes nowhere, http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/1192/enginepipe2a.th.jpg http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/4079/enginepipea.th.jpg http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/6894/enginepipe3a.th.jpg I can only think that the previous owner had to disconnect it from the white air intake pipe which he installed for some reason, Can somebody advise me if it is safe to be left taped up with electricians tape as it is? Seems a bit strange to me. And what does the pipe do? Cheers, Ash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Looks like it should be going into the intake pipe, but as you have an aftermarket one there is nowhere to attach it. What it actually does i do not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 WOAH don't touch that, its the power feed for your flux capacitor !!!!!!!!!!11oneone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_vr6 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 is it not part of the pcv system ? that hose feeds oil vapour back into the intake ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bromy Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 It should feed back into the intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devan Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Right, cheers for the replies, So would you say this needs connecting up? I might try and get an orginal pipe off somebody if there are any so i can re-attach it and put my mind at rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bromy Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) So would you say this needs connecting up? Not really, You can either have a 'catch can' arrangement or attach a mini k and n filter to the rocker cover.

devan Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Is this what you mean for a catch tank to attach my pipe to?

Oil can leak from that little filter and onto the manifold which will be red hot = fire = not good ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
