Little Help Please? Hose question...

[nicfunkadelic]

I am reassembling an ej22t hybrid in my 99 RS, and I'm hoping with you guy's help she can run again soon.

Under the intake manifold, basically front cener of the motor, slightly to the left there is a hose fitting that comes up out of the crankcase, and bends 90 degrees towards the front of the car...

I have the manuals, and have read them for hours, and searching hasn't given me much.

Thanks agan,
Nick

yep. On a EJ22T motor, and maybe all, that 90 degree elbow attaches to a "T" fitting, and one side of the T goes to the right valve cover, the other side goes to the left valve cover. hope that helps.

If you're feeling froggy and don't have the plastic piece which connects the valve covers to the crankcase, you can block this off, I've been going a year so far without it, no problems.

Interesting... I'm actually using my 99 RS SOHC heads, so no stock nothing for me. I think the Legacy heads had 2 hose fittings on each cylinder head, is that right? the RS heads only have 1 per head, and go back by the throttle body..

pretty sure my legacy ej22t only have one hose per valve cover, and i do KNOW that the drivers side head/valve cover hose goes up, around/under/by the coolant tank, then frontward towards the intake, then it bends up towards this 90 degree elbow and t fitting behind the power steering pump/alternator.
