Intake question..

[Accord214]

sup guys, I bought an AEM intake from a member on here but it doesn't have a hook up for one of my vacuum hoses. It has the hook up for the thicker hose that comes from the valve cover but it doesn't have the hook up for the thinner vacuum hose.

here's an EXAMPLE pic of the hose that I'm talking about:



So basically, I have that hose loose right now. Is there anything that I can do about it? Does it affect anything?

you could drill a hole alittle bit smaller than the vacume line and feed the vacume line in that way and seal it up

or you could split the line from the bigger hose and and run it from that

you could probably find some kind of T split somewere



now as to what it goes to i think it goes to some air fuel boost system i cant exactly remember ill look it up in my service manual and get back to you

okay if you can hook up a mini filter that would work
but really if you can just filter the air going into that line that will work

Yes it is the air boost valve that it feeds, it's not a vacuum line it is a fresh air feed line. Putting some sort of filter on it would work. Or if you want, you could buy a brass barb hose fitting, drill a hole in the intake tube just big enough to screw in the barb, use some RTV sealant and you should be good to go. Or if you know how or know someone who can braze/weld. You could braze/weld a fitting in place.

I would use a mini filter on the vc and now you have a port in your intake tube for the air boost valve, in fact that is wat i did

i would recommend doing the barb as well, simple fix.
