HELP: Weapon R Install Issue - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

snyperx · 04-24-2010, 12:04 PM

I am installing the Weapon R instake on my 09 Corolla 1.8L and have hit a little snag. I can't seem to get the breather hose installed. I got it over the nipple on the intake tube, but I can not get it to stretch over the nipple on the engine cover. Anyone got any tips on how to install the hose on the engine cover? Thanks

Put it inside the assembly instead of over

The hose diameter will stay in the assembly it will not go anywhere. You could go the extra mile and get a coupler adapter for it but it will stay put after you insert it into the nipple.

I am assuming this is what you did?

Well after I broke it twice and some bloody fingers, yes that is exactly what I did.

I used the same hose that was used for the engine cover. I put the one that came with the intake on the intake and then connected both of em together i inserted the smaller one inside the bigger hose. And then clamped it. works just fine.
