Can Anyone Tell Me What These Pipes Are For.

[Boosted EK9]

Hi Been Working On My B18C4 Today And Found Under The Inlet Manifold x2 Pipes That Wasn't Fitted / Connected.

Can Anyone Tell Me Why They Wouldn't Have Been Connected And Where They Go.

I've Just Set Up A Photobucket Account So I'm Hoping It Works.

Thanks

Can you post a photo where the lines connect to the motor?

The grey pipe is metal and runs close to bulk head.

The black silicone pipe connects to a box on engine under inlet.
This pipe has a bit of red paint on it on the picture.

Apologies if that doesnt help.

first one looks like a brake or fuel line?

Is there evidence of there being a oil catch can fitted instead of venting back into the intake?

The hose with the red connector. The other end should be attached to another red connector/joiner on the inlet, between the runners, which connects on the top of the inlet.

Not sure what the other hard pipe goes to but looks a bit like the OEM rocker cover breather pipe.

It does have a aftermarket oil catch tank on it so could be the answer.

Pipes have been like it for a year and never had problems. Both pipes are clean and dry.

If there not neccesary I shall just block them off.

Thanks everyone.

Not sure if they should be blocked off tbh.

The hose on the red connector should join at the base of the inlet and then a second hose should run up to the top. vvv



Is the hose missing from the inlet? If its still there I'd plug it back on.

Not 100% sure on the hard pipe. Where does that begin?

I will have to double check on that. Its fitted witj a skunk 2 inlet manifold if that makes any difference.

After a google it looks like they have the same fixings as oem.

Just had a look and found at the bottom of the throttle body thetes a outlet with no pipe on it but this pipe is too long and would need cutting to fit.

Also I followed the hardline and it does down bulkhead and under the car on n.s.

Just checked inlet and that pipe at the top centre of inlet on the front has been blocked off with silicone hose and a bolt in the end. If that is ment to connect to box undetneath inlet with red fixing, why would it have been blocked off any ideas?

Also after seing theres a pipe missing from very bottom of throttle body any ideas?

Appriciate everyones help.

That pipe has been blocked off for the use of your oil catch can and stop the gunk they produce!! Best thing to do is just leave it be and block the end off

Ok thats fine so il just block the other end off from the red fixing.

Thanks again
