39) Air intake fittings

Since I ditched the stock air intake and assembled a custom one using aluminum piping, I needed a way to connect all the tubing that goes between the air intake and various parts of the motor.

I decided I would try out some quality Home Depot engineering :) Not sure if these will work or not, but it was easy enough to do and didn't take too much time (Aside from the hours strolling through HD looking for bits and pieces!)



First comes drilling the holes. Have I mentioned how much I love these stepper bits?



Next I stuck a end cap through the hole.



After boring a hole through the end cap, I made a grommet out of a section of rubber hose. I shaped the rubber so it would fit the curve of the intake tube, and left the top flat.



Then I tightly screwed on the barbed fitting.



Here is the forward most section with a couple more fittings.



Here is the rear section test fitted to the IAC (Idle Air Controller)



Another shot of the forward section all plumbed up to the valve covers & crank case breather.
