Hey guys, I dont know whether its been discussed before, but does anyone know what those 3 little tubes do? I mean the ones that goes through the rubber intake hose............

my best bet would be that it stabilizes idle?
what harm would removing them cause to your car?

thxs

 

btw, I was specifically looking for what would happen if you disconnect the tubes and plugged the holes

 

Short answer:
Those tubes are to help allow airflow through secondary passages depending on the RPM. The SSD and VDI are both vacuum controlled valves through these tubes.
I'm sure someone will chime in to explain more in detail. Its getting late for me.

 

taj... i think they are there just so you can have most questions to ask = more posts

 

I'm serious seeing as I broke one of them

 

what were you ******* with that made you break one?

i'd get it replaced/fixed asap

 

Depends on which one you *broke*

if its the VFAD one, you can just cap it off, like me.

but if its the other one, replace them.

The system needs them.

and how the hell you broke them ?

 

to hell with the 3 intake tubes.

can someone explain to me what the 3 seashells do?

 

LOL. He doesn't know how to use the 3 seashells!

 

mu ha ha......! That is funny!

 

there's an interview of sly online where he explains that it's used to scrape.. but that can't be correct since they were agast to how barbaric toilet paper was. Additionally, something used to scrape, wouldn't then be placed like that next to the toilet.

 

Taj, what were you doing when you broke it?
Were you trying to install the Zex Kit?????

 

I have a feeling thats what had happened.

 

My Jedi Powers sense there was a Zex kit involved...

 

no, one of them was cracked already when I bought the car, and yes, I was trying to pry one open since I dont have the damn vfad, the very top one is the one that broke, I want to use that to install my nitrous instead lol, but oh well

 

you're deviating from CRH's install procedures??

 

Wow, when u got the car one of them broke already ? ekk ... I wonder what the previous owner was doing to your car ...

go buy another one, its cheap anyway.

 

yeah, cus I hear CRH doesn't know how the heck to install a zex kit.

 

I thought he doesnt know how to change his own oil *only* ?

 

I hear ONLY mazda certified technician know how to do THAT!

 

Yes, go buy a new one from the dealer...they're only $9.75.
I broke one installing my K&N v2.

 

Warm water, cold water, air. Most of you have never left the western hemisphere, I presume?!

 

you presume wrong, I grew up in several countries in asia, born in egypt, live in the united states.
