AC Can you take a picture of what you ended up with?  What size hose did you use to connect the ICV to the intake boot and manifold?

Thanks!

10 laps?  What happened?  Did you break or chicken out ;)


New road course opened up, and they allowed session of five laps each.  I made in time for the last two sessions and drove home. :)  FREE lap time btw.

Sure, pics below.  I used 1/2" heater hose for the ICV to boot run.  Did it in 3 sections.  First section is like 3" long with a 90 degree elbow.  Second section is about 8" with a splicing insert in it which connects the third section to it.  Third section of hose is about 8" long.  I didn't want any chance of the hose collapsing.    I mostly reused stock hoses (because of the bends) for the VC to TB run.  I wanted to run it under the manifold like stock does.  Looks damn near stock.

Looks great!  Nice work!  Where did you buy the elbows?  Or did you just use ones you had?  I've not found a lot of hose parts at AutoZone, Pep Boys or O'Reilly yet.  They have hose, but not a lot of fittings.  I'd love to just find some 1/2" to 1/2" connectors (for the same reason as you - to prevent collapsing) and a few elbows like that.  Did the 1/2" fit snuggly?  I know some of the other members have used 3/8" but it's apparently a very, very tight fit.

A decent plumbing supply shop will have all manner of plastic hose barbs and 90 degree elbows.

Alright, so let me see if I have this straight. The basic ideas are to connect the ICV directly to the throttle body, and connect the crankcase vent directly to the intake elbow, eliminating everything else, including the throttle body heater plate? My intake is apart right now to replace a heater hose, and I would love to do this. What do I need in terms of non standard supplies? Just 1/2" and 5/8" heater hose?

Flip that around... ICV to intake elbow, and valve cover to the bottom of the TB.

I found awesome solid brass 1/2" to 1/2" connectors at home depot. The brass will last forever and look a  hell of a lot better than plastic. I'm doing this mod this week, hopefully it will go smoothly.

HAHA!  This is the first I saw of this thread.  It's funny cause I just did it to my motor last week!  I didn't know it was here.

Just removed all the mess last night. I used some of the original hoses and only had to buy some 5/8" hose and 1 reducing fitting.

True, after seeing another question and the inevitable tjts1 link response, I was coming in here to say the same thing.  +1 to sticky.  D.clay made a similar thread but this one has more info.
