Title: Stock Airbox Question
Post by: Jit on May 10, 2006, 09:02:51 AM
Hi, Ive just gone to re-fit the stock airbox on my FD, and I cannot figure out where two of the connections go.

Basically, as you look at the engine bay from in front of the car, there is a connector on the right hand of the box. Can anyone tell me where this hose is supposed to go to?
Also, there is a joint pointing upwards at the rear right corner of the box. Can anyone tell me where that one goes!

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers

Youve confused me a bit with that wording.  Are both on the same side of the box or is one on the other side?

The one you dont know where it goes doesnt go anywhere and just vents out of the box.  The other one sounds a bit like you might mean the hose that comes out of the stock recirc which you wont have if youve got a dumpvalve on it, but that would be on the other side of the box (ie left if looking at it from the front of the car)

The 2 i refer to are both on the same side...the right hand side as you look at the engine bay from infront of the car. One of them exits directly from the right hand side. The other one is on the right rear corner pointing upwards.

I know the other 5...one goes to the airpump, and the other 4 are for the filters and their gubbins!

The one that points upwards connects to the airpump outlet and the one on the side just vents out downwards to knowhere.  Inside the airbox those two pipes have their own sealed off section with a sort of silencer inside that quietens the mooing sound you would otherwise get from the airpump.

Apart from the 2 hoses we have mentioned there are 5 others.  The 2 large ones are the air intakes. The 2 smaller ones that are together are for the dump valve and charge relief valve hoses. The single one on its own on the other side is the air pump intake hose.
