Ok so with 16K miles on the car this ******* stupid ass plastic oil return line coming off the intake decided to **** the bed. Why its ******* plastic i dont know. I think its been on and off a total of 3 times. Please help, i have no idea what to do. Im tuned so warranty work is out of the ??? cuz i have full bolt ons that i dont feel like taking off. Do i order a new intake?? i have a HAHN intake i can put back on but again need to be re-tuned for it.

 

is the hose rubber? if so get another fiting and tap into the plastic, get a fitting thats threaded and then with a barbed typed on the other end, that way you could tap it onto the intake and then hose clamp it to the rubber hose, just a thought, idk if its rubber or w.e

 

no its not rubber its braided stainless, no wonder why it ******* snapped it. Stainless steel vs molded plastic pushing and pulling, geez i wonder what will win??

 

well im sure you still could do what i suggested, its rubber that is braided on top thats all

 

that looks like the PCV hose.. just get a hose barb and some clamps

 

so i tap the intake side with a threaded fitting, then put a rubber hose to the braided line??

can you elaborate with that, i dont understand it??

thats exactly wat i was saying

intake-threaded side of the barb fitting- braided hose on the barb- hose clamp over the braided hose

 

get a hose barb and clamps cost u at most 8bucks
heres what the barb looks like

ok now im starting to understand in a way, then just stick the hose into that braided piece?? will it stay??

 

yeah if u put a small hose clamp over it, you stick the hose OVER the barb fitting

 

heres a better pic of what its going into

 

how the **** is that an oil return line?

if you dont like the house barb idea, for reasons such as a post maf leak, then order a new one.

cost is like $38

 

I seen a couple other with this. they just got new intakes but beware it has taken me 5 weeks to get one from gm

 

ok so i fixed it. i got a pic of it and it looks factory. What i did was use a piece of small steele from a carburetor and used something called the West System Epoxy and then pressed it into the broken piece and pressed it into the intake piece almost like an inner sleeve. well see how it holds up.

 

I can lend you mine until you get a new one, mine is still off. let me know.

 

LOL that happend to me too!

 

how did u fix it??

 

yeah that's the pcv line, just do the barbed fitting thing, you can even get that quick connect x ips and just thread it into the hole. No big deal. I don't even run that back to the intake on the gt30r car, just put a filter on it.

 

mine done the same..i had the car for 3 days when that happend to me :S

 

yea its typical GM bullshit. did you feel how much that line is bent. of course its going to snap off lol. metal > plastic!!
