Thread: Motor installed. JDM no egr. This hose is not connected. What was it for?

The top hose goes between the TB and MAF.

There is a nipple on the intake pipe that it should go to.

OK. I have the nipple on the intake capped off. So that goes to the skinny intake pipe?

That thing right there is the charcoal canister valve, and charcoal canister.

Ben, I know. The Skinny purge hose is not connected to anything

Mine is T'd off if i remember correctly with another hose from the charcoal canister, then into the int mani

I need to know where to route it. Or should I cap it off. This is a JDM manifold now

idk what mani though. on my VE its T'd off and back into the rear of the mani along the fire wall side

You can leave both of those things free-balling. If the charcoal canister valve (top nipple in pic) is not connected to vacuum, it won't allow the charcoal canister to vent (no big deal). If the charcoal canister vent (bottom nipple in picture) isn't connected to the intake, the fuel vapors trapped by the charcoal won't have anywhere to go except the atmosphere (no big deal again).

If I were you, I'd go one step further and just remove the charcoal canister all together. The hose that still connects to it right now is connected to the fuel tank. It is a vent, controlled by a check-valve. It lets pressure (fuel vapors) out of the fuel tank as fuel evaporates over time. That thing can also just vent to atmosphere. No biggy. Unless you're that concerned about the environment.

very intresting.....gonna have to pull the charcoal canister outs my car now

thanks ben!
