Question about RB26

Hi there,

I'm busy building a highly detailed RB26 engine (Tamiya) for my R33 Skyline (also Tamiya). I use loads of reference pics to make the detail look perfect. Still, the reference isn't good enough. Could anyone please explain me what the thing in the red circel is, and where it comes from (or goes to). I don't know where to connect the tube you see I'm sure some of you guys know the answer.



Thanks in advance.

Re: Question about RB26

It looks like a hot water pipe for the heater, or intake manifold warmer for cold starts. But Ill move this to the skyline forum where I can garuntee someone will know the answer.

It's the PCV (breather valve) air hose that goes into the intake just prior to the forward turbo.

Re: Question about RB26

Could anyone draw this out for me? Or maybe give a good pic? I can't really imagine what it should look like
