Need Help in Florida with Post Maf/Breather Tubes
 

Guys,
I live in Southwest Florida (North Port area) and I need help installing my Maf/Breather Tubes that I purchased. I tried to do it myself, but I am not mechanical include at all. This is not my DD, just my fun car to have.
Is there anyone in the area that could help me out and I would pay for your time and travel.
Thanks.:wtf2:

All you need is white lithium grease, disposable gloves, 10mm socket/wrench, a flathead screw driver and pliers.

*put on gloves*
1. Use the 12mm socket to remove the screws that anchor the factory air boxes (1 per side)
2. use the flathead screwdriver to open the hose clamp that connects the boxes to the factory plastic tubes
3. Pull up on the boxes to remove them (may require a little wrestling)
4. Remove the 12mm bolt securing the passenger side breather chamber to the intake manifold
5. Take the pliers and crimp the small clamps securing the breather hoses to the intake tubes (set these aside for use later)
6. Use the flathead again to remove the hose clamp that connects the factory intake tubes to the throttle body, and remove the tubes.
7. Use pliers again to crimp the clamps securing the breather tubes to the cylinder heads, remove the tubes.
8. Take the white lithium grease and spray a bit on your index finger, then apply to the inside of each new breather tube's ends
9. Put the clamps on the end of the new silicone breather tubes, slid past the point of the valve cover nozzle. *The question mark shaped PCV tube goes on the passenger side, with the long straight portion of each tube going on the valve cover* Now use the pliers to crimp the clamps down around the valve cover breather nozzle.
10. Install the other small clamp on the other ends of the tubes, same idea for leaving room for the intake tube breather port
11. Apply grease to the inside ends of the intake tubes, and slide them onto the throttle bodies. Slide the breather tubes onto the intake tube ports and crimp the clamps to secure them.
12. Remove the hose clamps from the factory plastic intake tubes and use them to secure new silicone tubes to the throttle bodies.
13. Reinstall the air boxes, secure them to the MAF tubes with the hose clamps.

I know I suck for not supplying pictures, but even for the non-mechanically inclined it will only take 1-2 hours tops. Hopefully this was descriptive enough.

Good luck!

Thanks RanRich
I got the originals off, but I guess my concern ( I have only started on the passenger side) was hooking up the Z1 breather tubes to those black original plastic parts.
I was looking at the thread " do I need these" and where CoolToy was pointing too. It sounds like those (both sides) black original parts I DO NOT need anymore since I have those Z1 silicone breather tubes??
Thanks again for your detailed instructions. :tiphat:

Nope. Go ahead and toss them!

Thanks, I appreciate your help on this.:tiphat:

Another question for you regarding the Z1 breather tubes. The one tube that looks like a question mark, what side does that go on, passenger or driver?
Thanks

Passenger. Straight section down.

Thanks again:bowrofl:

Happy to help. Just post a pic when you're done!
