hey guys

i know i know... as simple as it is, im already stumped as to where this one thing goes.



the blue goes from the intake to the vc, but what about the bottom rubber strap thing?

thanks

young noob

does it wrap around it, so you dont have to see blue, but just regular black????

WTF?
I've never seen anything like that before? What the hell does a little rubber strap have to do w/ your intake? Where did you buy this mystery intake?

Edit- youngnewb may be right. just seems wierd to me

lol i got it off ebay... im thinking it goes around the pipe somewhere, but i dunno.

it doesnt go around the blue thing, doesnt quite fit... anyways im going to install without the strap and see how it goes.

Yeah do that.
I've made/bought/installed like 6587687564x10 intakes and I've never needed a little rubber strap thingy (I think that's the technical term)

Ummm.. I have no idea where that would go. Maybe a wrap for the blue tube?

trash that ****. i've never seen something like that before

teamvirus

i cant even see the strap

ekcivic9

ok, now everythings off. i got the breather hose off the v/c, and the air sensor out.

but now, there are two hardlines stuck to each other. i think one is a coolant line, and the other i need to remove, it seems like they are fused together.

&lt;-- noob.

i got one of those rubber thingers with my intake from ebay, and called the manufacturer and they told me it was to line the hole in your fender where the intake drops down, so when it rattles it doesnt wear through the intake tube...i personally didnt use mine

ekcivic9

redvtec- awesome...

anybody know what i shoudl do about those two hardlines that are stuck to each other? (96 civic ex) if that helps.

should i just push the line aside?

ekcivic9

the red box is what im talking about.. those two lines, are stuck together.

ekcivic9

yellow = what i need to get rid of

red = coolant line i need to keep.

red + yellow mounted together and cannot be removed.

do i need to go buy another hose?

suprmods

just leave it hanging there, its not really in the way. too much.

redvtec00

ya man your not gona go anything about that other tube, just leave it there, i filed mine down to where it meets the other tube so it wasnt so cumbersome, but theres really nothing you can do about it

ekcivic9

i ended up removing the hardlines all together, and i just used another hose for the coolant.

Nuke209

i got a hose connector from homedepot and removed those 2, connected the coolant lines with the hose connector and threw that piece away

I don't know if it's okay or not, but I removed that piece and ran the coolant line from the block directly into the throttle body. I would imagine running it through the hard line would dissipate some heat, but I haven't experiences any ill effects.
