Nah it wasnt when I found it I maybe think that its was an old windscreen washer line as my car has a carbon bonnet maybe it just fell in there when they removed the old bonnet maybe not sure I'm thinking the air flow meter is had it and needs a new one and the trouble code cleared on the ecu ! Anyone in Perth got hook ups for new air flow meter ? cheers Tom

um duno man thats just how it came when i got the car mate

Yeah that is certainly an issue, really doubt it is what is happening here but it means on boost your crank case is getting pressurised, will cause excessive blow by and could blow your dip stick out if tracking the car.

You should get that stock hose on the right had side cam breather shown in the other setup, and connect it back into the intake on the right where its been blocked off.

Yea the solder joints looked pretty dry so re did them and re sealed up the air flow meter car still idles a bit funny and seem to be spitting a bit of black oily stuff out the exhaust what does that mean ? I need to take it in to mechanic ive done most of what I can at home it frustrating as the car is for sale and a guy wants it pending loan approval Ive told him its not running right but he still wants it id prefer to sell it running sweet but just see what happens if it falls through its going to mechanics to get sorted asap

Can I run two small breather filters instead of that pipe ??

thanks for everyones help

cheers

Tom

run 1 breather but on the end of a hose and have the filter under the airbox.

the black spits from the exhaust are normal, its condesation build up mixing with the soot in the exhaust.

In order to fix your idle problem, i recommend blocking and repairing any vacuum lines, ( block any lines that lead to know were start the car listen for changes), look at a engine diagram of the vacuum lines on the net and find out were they go to, in some cases its only a matter that the carbon filter or other have been removed and its causing an air leak witch then relates to your rough idle ( it rectified my problem)

check for cracks on your coilpacks, heat spots on your leads, if degraded, replace with new ones, also remove the cover that covers the coil packs, its only their for looks really,and will trap a lot of hot air witch will lead to the same problem, just don't wash or be careful when washing the engine use compressed air and a cleaning spray, aside from that do all your basic things like air filter clean it, o2 sensor and so on, you will be amazed at how basic it is once you find it. hope that helps if not their are a few other methods that can be done ( usually the problem is staring you right in the face)

Really? The thread is 4 years old! Do you not think he had it fixed by now?

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
