what is this hose? it use to plug into the air intake arm right after the maf next to the dizzy its right in middle of the pic going na-t and i dont really want to rig up a nipple or something so it can go back into the system if i dont have to. can i plug it? vent to atmosphere? important?

 

goes to the power steering...i have mines plugged and i dont see a change in anything performance wise...

 

i think the vvti's dont even have that cause it was useless hows that na-t coming?

 

yep power steering vacuum hose.

 

ah ok ive read that somewhere too where you can plug it also i just didnt know this was the hose.


Na-t going ok putting in some flanges on the DP for the o2's to goto + wideband and welding up the dump tube. i forgot to order the bov flange and the exhaust manifold gaskets so those are on order and next is dropping the oil pan, going out of town for the weekend so it will probably be done sometime next week if all goes well

 

why u dropping the pan?

 

Turbo oil return I don't want to drill it on there n be paranoid about shavings

 

i used tha hole saw and my lil disc fell inside but no shavings i opened the lower oil pan grabbed it out and called igt a day lol..good luck with that though its def the scariest part of the whole thing. the rest is cake

 

Definatly the scariest part i'm saving for last.... Lol

 

have u seen what u have to do to remove that oil pan? its a job and a half lol...

 

Drill very slowly and use extra lube on the drill bit. The shavings should stick to the lube.....should....lol

 

yeah ive spent a couple nights reading on it seems like a hit and miss for some ppl on the shavings lol. ive read that i can loosen the motor mount bolts jack up the engine a little bit and it should provide enough room to take it out which doesnt sound tooooooo bad......

and on that PS vac hose i just pull the soft line off get a vaccum cap and cap it at the hard line under the dizzy?

 

That would probably be the cleanest way to do it. Ive seen ppl do it real ghetto out here and put a wine bottle cap with a hose clamp lol

 

wow lol i mean how much can a vacuum cap cost? couple bucks for a 10 pack? lol

but yeah... ive seen some real... low quality stuff before too lol my friend had a turbo civic hatch and he was showing me while he touched a few things a couple vacuum hoses fell off looked like a a strong breeze might cause chaos

 

Dont get me started on the honda boys lol

But dude put up some more pix of your na-t build

What size intercooler u goin with?
