induction kit help

[mrrwill]

Alright folks.

Can anyone explain this to me....? I want to make my own induction kit/ cold air feed. Looking at the engine bay, where the pipe meets from the air box meets the rocker cover on my saxo vtr, there is another pipe (from where it meets the rocker cover) that branches off to the left and disappears. What is this and where does it go?
And what is the diameter or the tubing required to attach to the throttle body?

Cheers

I found this picture elsewhere on the forum but looks exactly the same as my car. If you look at where the pipe joins the rocker cover from the airbox, there is another thin pipe branches off to the left... what is this/ where does it go? Also.. why is it some engines have a small filter here instead? Is that an option?

It's a crankcase breather pipe.

this is my engine bay as you will see that I have put a lil filter on that pipe you was on about . I was told it helps the engine out in some way not sure about that but put it on anyway as on my air filter pipe dosent had the bit for the lil pipe to join hope this help. This is my engine slowly cleaning it up a bit lol

Trust me that engine bay looks mint compared to mine lol.

[cashew1989]

I think it's a bit of a mess lol as the lil filter needs to be moved and needs a clean. It dosent look like that now as it's a bit more cleaner lol and soon getting a viper induction kit and some red silicone pipe to make it look better.

Right i see, so ill be ok to use a separate filter. Are those little filters a direct fit onto thw yellow clip? I'm gna custom build cold air induction kit even though i know hardly anything bout cars.. shouldn't think its too hard.

Where have people found the best place to route cold air feed? Ive been looking around and it looks quite tight... want it direct as possible.

And mate, thats a damn site cleaner than mine, i got same colour rocker cover but cos its rusty

Here's what I did to mine. Cut off the plastic pipe that goes to the air box and kept the elbow on the rocker cover. Just fitted a hose over the top of it to a small filter seems to do the trick.

Sweet mate, simple enough. What is the inside diameter needed for the pipe to the rocker, and the pipe from the the air filter to the (throttle body?)
Not too up on names of parts..
