Inlet question - pics inside

[Mattie h]

I have an IK on my car of which I'm not sure of the make....anyway changed the spark plugs on my car today and came across a long hose leading to the inlet manifold, at the end of the pipe is a screw blocking it up....any ideas if this is not needed due to the induction or if this should lead somewhere?

On top of that found that the pipe on my IK was just hanging loose, found where i think it should join up 2 although was hoping someone could confirm for me!



thanks all!

The one at the back of the head is the oil breather, that goes back into the intake, so yes that pipe hanging loose does go there.

The one with the screw in goes to the acoustic valve, if it's not blocked, or attached to the acoustic valve the car idles high.

wheres that located mate?

Passenger side behind the wheel arch, it has probably been removed hence the screw.

that's where i found the pipe hanging....any reason why someone would remove it?

I'll have a look when it's light see if i can see it...

The acoustic valve gets removed to increase induction noise.

Induction kit is a 'pipercross viper' btw

ahh thanks guys....easy job to re-fit the valve and would it be a cheap purchase?

 

[Da]

It's probably still there, most people just disconnect it and leave it in situ.

But yeah, they come up forsale now and again and are cheap second hand.
