Goes to the inlet manifold (centre section with to pipes sticking outta throttle body

 

[Cemesis]

Its a breather hose (like on your old XE engine). It doesn't need to be conneted to anything but I hav a feeling that it routes to the inlet manifold which means there may be a hole in the inlet manifold now when the hose is supposed to connect. That will need blocking.

i had a feeling it was a breather hose but cant find the hole it's suppose to go in...

[Adam]

ta matey.... whats that then?

 

[ChrisB]

It's all the little pipes on your engine and where they go. It's from the Calibra Turbo manual.

cheers matey

that end in your hand should connect to a one way valve.

The other end of the valve goes to the throttle body connection (the bottom one with the water pipes round it )

Vauxhall one way valves are £10 are are usless and break,
Maybe get one from halfords.


It should allow air into the throttle body, not out.

But if you see the end of the pipe im 'not' holding..it connects to the back of the redtop rocker cover..just like the normal NA redtop... hmmmmmm.....


*oops read your reply wrong lol..sozzz i still have to find where this end of pipe im holding goes to in the tb area

Go to a pet store, and ask for a one-way valve for your fishes' tank. You'll get two for £2.
cheaper than any of the 'tuning' jokers.
Flows better, too (scientifically tested by blowing throughlmao )
A MUST for high-boost turbos Just make sure you install it the right-way round (or else you'd be boosting your camcover!)

Seriously, it's better

Ain't the internet wonderful? :beer:

ok having looked at this pipe on mine, i dont have one of the one way valves. whats the difference then? do i need it? would a one way valve from a brake servo line work?


cheers

[ChrisB]

If there is no one way valve the inside of the engine is pressurised with boost. This is bad.

Having the pipe off the cylinder head open to atmospher is better than having it connected with no one way valve. Although th original proper way is the best.

 

[rodgerq]

hmmmm guess ill be gettin that fixed then. what kinda symtoms can this cause??


cheers

rodgerq

ps would the servo one way valve be ok
