Need help identifying some odds and ends on an M50 swap (air intake stuff)
Need help identifying some odds and ends on an M50 swap (air intake stuff)
I got most of what goes where figured out but there's a few things i'm not sure about. Any help of what is suppose to connect here would be awesome. I have circled the "mystery" items in the pics blow. OBD1 M50 from a 1992 525i Thanks.
The longer end of the first mystery piece snaps into the valve cover. The other end is missing a hose (part number 11151735150), which should connect to the intake elbow circled in the last pic. The yellow or white capped line should go to the purge valve.

Follow up question. I didn't get a purge valve with the M50 that i bough. I'm putting this into a 325es. Can I just connect the e30 charcoal canister directly to the throttle body without using the purge valve or is that going to cause issues? I know this is a bit off topic so if i'm opening up a can of worms here, sorry.
I'm pretty sure you'll get a CEL running no purge valve. The DME likes to see it plugged in, but it has no way of knowing if its connected to anything or not.
