Question about nx2000 engine
I am fairly new to the world of mechanics and have a question about my nx2000 engine. I notice that most of the pictures I have seen on engines in nx2000 are missing a piece that mine still has. What is the benefit of getting rid of it and is it hard to remove? It is between the top of the engine and the top of the radiator right above the exhaust manifold I think. The reason I am trying to figure out what it is for is because I want to install an performance air filter which requires me to get rid of the air filter box and there is another hose coming from the box into that piece.


Thanks in advance.

You are talking about the air pump. It is an emmissions thing that has nothing to do with the running of the car.

Nothing to do with EGR !!

The silver valve is air injection , the smaller black box is a muffler for the air injection , the larger black box is the oil catch can .....

The Air injection can be removed , but its there for a reason , does NOT affect performance in any way !! Only helps keep the air clean ...
