Whats this thing on my manifold? Do I need it or can I just plug the lines? It has one skinny little line coming out of it that goes no where that I can see and a bigger vaccum line going into the top of the manifold. Thanks in advance!!

 

you know...i was wondering that same thing.
bump! i rather not see that damn thing in my engine bay anymore.
if you think about it..aftermarket intake manifolds dont have that nor a spot for it..so i dont see why we couldnt just remove it?

anyone else?

 

I wonder if it serves a purpose hmmmmmmmmmmm...........

 

u can plug it or run it to another line either will work

Mine just sits there with nothing on it. I'm also very curious on what that damn is.

 

air boost valve

I belive it allows the car to start easier or provide more airflow at low rpms or something of the sort.

Anyone know what this should be connected to?

I always thought those were on automatics but i know i could be wrong on that. If yours came with 5 speed then maybe not. Also there is the fact that some importers will slap on a 5 speed (flywheel, clutch, tranny) to a auto b16 to sell it because they are easier to sell...(manual tranny vs. auto ) just my opinion though.

 

who knows... my tranny bolts looked untouched (almost 99% positive they werent touched) and that would be pretty retarted of them to put on the burnt *** clutch that was on there.

 

I got tired of looking at mine and just removed it. Car never changed a bit

 

Using a vacuum from the manifold, it retards the closing motion of the throttle body butterfly.

The quick closing motion of the butterfly sometimes gives a lapse in ECU adjustment, because the ecu is not always fast enough in compensating for the closing throttlebody. Thus for a fraction giving you a rich mixture.

You can take it off, and plug up the hole.

*EDIT*
Wrong sensor thingy....my bad.
It's the other thingy in the pic.

 

the small vacuum line is supposed to hook into the intake snorkus pre throttle body, just like the dashpot for the throttle.

Look at the bottom of the pic, that is the part you are talkin about. this is something else.

 

mine went into the intake tube.

 

That's what I said, even before you quoted my post. So what's the use of pointing it out again?
