The comprehensive DOHC engine swap thread.

Josh, what goes in 2nd hole of intake boot?

I know 1 hole is for the ICV to boot hose, and the other hole is for Valve cover to boot?

Yup other goes to the VC though that little pipe attached to the dip stick tube I think and then to the VC.

Yea, I just need that fitting that goes from a small hose to big hose.
Thanks man, can I pick your brain tomorrow? Or come down and make some notes?

Hopefully you and the other guy would do this for me, but can I get pictures? I took pictures of my routing before I took it all apart but I'd like to see a completed swap set up.

(Yes, I know alot of shit can be in the way, but who knows.)

[Matt-B]

ill get pics soon
my new parts are on the way
got it figured out....

[drumad]

Sweet. I appreciate it.

Hay guise... I've got these 2 brackets that I'm trying to get installed on my M50, and I cannot figure out where they go. They look like they're both for hoses, but I can't figure out how they mount. Someone mind filling me in, or snapping a pic?

[Matt-B]

grabbing pics now...

[Van Westervelt]

both go under the intake. the upper one is on the back and holds the fuel lines, the other is actually bolted to the dipstick tube I believe.

You can see the fuel lines and bracket in this pic of my original s50

[Matt-B]

the smaller bracket is designed for holding... Im not sure, but it goes between intake bracket and the small slot goes on the bottom fin of intake


One you see the 2nd pic, you can see it fits nice an snug in there






Other bracket, kinda the same deal, holds a heater hose i guess, but Mine wont reach
the end of the bracket shaped like this UU holds the fuels lines and need to be turned to make them run horizontal ish..

Hope that helps Josh, its cold outside

[Van Westervelt]

That smaller bracket holds the crank case vent tubes from the front corner of the valve cover.

[Jand3rson]

Awesome, thanks fellers.

[Matt-B]

What can you guys tell me about fine tooth and large tooth flywheels?

I have a fin tooth it looks like and the big tooth starters don't work right?

[Jand3rson]

Aight, time for another round of "where does this go"? :D



1. Plugs into the valve cover, at the front near the end of the fuel rail.
2. Plugs into the inlet of the hose connector that's on the E34 dipstick, right?
3. ?
4. ?

Part II of #2: Where does the hose go that plugs into the other end of the hose connector on the dipstick?
