was at some car shop today..asked him if he sells the hoses and clamps told me he does and told me to pop my hood to see which one it is. he told me that what i have right there is a mess. That the hose can pop out any second and my engine would blow. I took some pictures earlier and give me some feedbacks guys. In the pic its where the hoses connect to the sleeve and 2 clamps. He said it should be metal. When i go on long trip it will pop out and my car will over heat so fast that my engine will blow. that hose and sleeve is aftermarket that came with the CAI.

 

You are talking about the part with the aem sticker and 2 hose clamps right?
The stock connector from airbox to throttle body is rubber to allow movement with vibration and engine motion
That looks fine, if it comes off for unknown reasons- the intake will get really loud and you will know right away.
Wont blow the motor- thats just intake vac, now if it were to get plugged off and no air went thru...that would be a problem

 

Wait a minute u mean the vac lines running from the intake or the 2 clamps holding the intake to the throttle body btw if either fell off nutting would happen not good to drive around if the did but no blowing up the engine. FYI dont go back there

 

The problem is that sleeve. He said that is not safe that any moment it can burst out. So I dont know man. How can i make this safe. I love my car. dont want to harm it. ill take a better picture tomorrow so you can see the whole engine

 

nvm see wat u r talkin about unless u dont got them secured tight they aint goin anywere trust me if ur not sure give a quick tug at it if it didnt move dont worry

 

i dont think that sleeve is goinanywere and it look like its a line that carries coolant that line with the sleeve it doesnt run to ur intake right

 

if it came with the intake i doubt its goin to blew idk wen i got my aem cai i rerouted alot of my coolant lines and vac line for my intake sooo but if ur still nervous bout it go to a mechanic and see wat they say but coming from one and look at the pics i dont think ur in great danger

 

i brought it to acura and he said its pretty good job. he said it shouldnt be permanent but just temp. So i dont know how to make it all good. i will take a better pic tomorrow so u guys know wuts going on.

 

hmm well wat i can tell u to do is get the whole line replace go to an auto parts stores get a line thats the same size and replace it from one end to the other this way u wont have the sleeve in the middle. That wat i did to my car cuz i took out that metal piece n re ran that hose n did excatly wat i told you and i did that for 5 months promblem free including long trips to pennslyvannia and back plus six flags in nj If you want ill post pics tommorrow of wat it looks like in my car

 

ohh i cant juts connect that line straight through in? i mean i cant find the real opening to it because its under the engine cover. do i have to take the whole engine cover off? the reason why i didnt connect it straight to the source is because of that engine cover blocking everytyhing. dont know where it leads to.

 

unfortually i believe you do i take it you dont live close by me cuz id give u a hand but if u got sum basic knowledge about cars it really simple

 

ill show you pics tommoroow unfortanly it like 1 am for me n its freezing outside message me if you got any furthur questions

 

4 little bolts hold the engine cover on

After looking at the pics again, I see you are talking about the rubber hose that goes under the battery's built in handle and then you see the hose go INSIDE a larger hose.
If thats the case, what you need is a metal adapter fitting with the correct hose size on each end, or a "barbed fitting" that lets you push the hose up a taper.

Find out why its that way, was the hose spliced together? shoved together?

dont drive it if it really is hose inside hose, thats NOT a secure connection in town or trips- doesnt matter. It WILL be a problem if a coolant hose comes off and blows all the coolant out

 

yea i figured out wat hes talkin bout that is the coolant line i checked this morning if that does fall off that aint good cuz you will slowly lose coolant but from wat i can see in the pic you got the line running into the adapter then back out to the line in the back but u have two metal clamps holding them down so as long as the clamps are secured and holding each end of the hose down you will be fine for now but like i said i just rerouted the most secure way cuz i got one straight hose with no adapter in between. Actually from lookin at your pic you dont even need a new hose. If you take out the clamp nearest to the batter pull the hose out and go to the other side of the engine towards the bottom you can clamp it directly on to the other side. Start from the thrrottle body and follow it to were it ends you see wat i am talkin about ill go take a pic of mine so it can hoepfully help you out

 

by the way i meant to say battery not batter

The hose that you have running from the throttle body to the adapter should be long enough disconnect the adappter then disconect the other hose that run to the engine in the 4th picture. Run the hose to how i have it should be long enough if not just go to an auto part store and get a hose that long. Once you rerouted the hose clamp it back on the the engine without the sleeve and then your done. One simple hose with no adapters got any more question message me

 

so i need to unscrew the engine cover to look for the main source the hose lead to? if i bring it to my local car shop to get a new hose would they help me put it on?

 

Dude its fine it will hold fine. Unless a gorrila jumps perfectly onto that hose I can't imagine it coming off. It has clamps on it. If your really paranoid check it every now and then. But on a side note that is a little ghetto cuz my injen came with a nice little plastic piece that fits both sides of the hose pretty snug. Either way I don't really see that popping off but I might be wrong.

 

yea the will be able to do it shouldnt take no more then 15 mins for them to do it

 

went to kragens earlier today. kragen mechanic came out and took a look..told me it was nothing serious. Like if it does unplug, you will know because alot of smoke will come out. but then he gaves me a new hose aprox 1 feet long for free. and told me to just unplug that and i have to watch out for the coolants. i should let all the air out,etc. got some pictures will post them in a couple of mins.
