Suction Jet Pump Removal

[leegreenaway]

I do believe you can (or do) remove the suction jet pump as part of the catch can install, as well as the hockey puck?

So it's just the angled pipe from the oil filter housing into a T piece, rocker cover into T piece then into the 'IN' on the catch can.

Then either vent the 'OUT' to atmosphere or back into the tip?

Just covering all my bases while I wait for my bits and pieces to arrive. Got a Split breather hose (duck taped ) and I be damned if I'm buying an OEM or replacement one lol gives me an excuse to tinker more too

You can delete it, I drove around without it for a while. The suction pump provides vacuum whilst not in idle (for assisting in braking) if I understood correctly.

I just mounted it back, I have the idea that I could brake a tad harder with it enabled.

Well if it's there for braking it sounds kind of important lol...guessing it's only 1-way too?

If I remove it does that mean I can remove those 'blue balls' hidden under the wheel arch liner or is that something else.

Iv removed mine just make sure u reuse the 1 way valves and will be fine, think the blue balls are to do with the carbon canister mate

 

[leegreenaway]

Yeah, I plan on just replacing the pipe from the inlet mani with some silicone to the one way valve for the brake line/pump thing (??) lol

Yea that's what I did excuse the dirty engine bay lol I have cleaned it since

 

[leegreenaway]

It doesn't looks right if it hasn't got a bit of grime in there! As long as it goes like f00k then its all good lol

 

[turboboy111]

Ha I need a clean engine bay, problem is since fitting FMIC doesn't go like f00k lol either have a leak or just need to get ma but in gear and go stage 2

I thought you could get blue balls from.... well you know

 

[turboboy111]

yea you can get blue balls that way so be careful

 

[leegreenaway]

Well, finally had my bits so decided to put some pipe and a T piece instead of the Y breather hose. That thing gets stupidly mucky inside! Straight into the bin!

 

[leegreenaway]

Oh and no issues running without an engine cover is there?

Bringing a thread back from the dead lol
Does this pipe from the inlet mani go to the brake servo!? In the process of removing all of this stuff.

And going to fit a catch can.
