why not to remove that rear rocker breather and pipework

[youngsyp]

Chaps,

Would 3/8 NPT fit ?

I was looking at one of these to do the job: http://www.bsr-aerotek.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=2240

Cheers

NPT (National Pipe Tapered thread) is 60DEG Thread
BSP (British Standard Pipe thread) is 55 DEG Thread

No mate, That's a few pics of the removal of the idle control cr@p under the throttle bodies, Which can only be done if you're running a stand alone ECU like my Motec or AEM.

Thought i'd drag this one up again... I've removed the pcv valve and all the associated breather hoses but there's another pipe that comes from the drivers side bulkhead then curls up and behind the inlet manifold with a bit of metal pipe in the middle. It has a sticker on it with 'engine check valve' on it and an arrow pointing in the direction away from the bulkhead. What does this do and is it required? You can't quite see it in the pic above, unless it has been removed.

 

[gtirx2]

I think the hose you are on about is the vacuum for the brake servo,if so you want to leave well alone.

 

[Cambridge_pulsar]

This is it (hopefully)

 

[Cambridge_pulsar]

Ooh it worked, that's the one..

 

[youngsyp]

Ooh it worked, that's the one..

As pointed out above matey, that's the vacuum hose for the brake servo. That needs to stay where it is !

Ok, but why does it say engine check valve on it then...?

 

[stevepudney]

Ok, but why does it say engine check valve on it then...?

because the hose contains a check valve ;-)

 

[rx jamie]

it basically stops pressurised air entering the brake servo. the check valve only opens under vacuum, making sure the servo is only ever under vaccuum. eg when your off throttle.
