MaddCelt Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yesterday the engine went back into my wagon and it is close to completion. We have a few things we could not figure out and so I came to this August gathering of Subie enthusiasts, obsessed and hobbyists for the answers. This is towards the rear of the engine on the passenger side, not far from the first pic. This is on the plastic housing on the intake This line is in the same area but we cannot locate where it goes. Anyone have or can take detailed pics of a complete 2.5 engine, it would greatly help. My Mech is doing a great job but this is his first Subie, so we have to go gentle on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddCelt Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Just remembered. I need to pic of the fuel canister on the drivers side and with hose goes where. One was a no brainer but the other two are the same size so not sure if I have then connected right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdjdc Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 The first three connectors all go together. There is a hose that goes on the fitting coming up out of the engine and a plastic fitting fits into that. Another hose goes back to the intake boot and then one goes up onto the PCV valve. The plastic fitting can break and is kind of pricey. The two hoses are fitted hoses and need to be stock. I may be able to find you a complete setup at a local JY. The last picture is the vacuum boost for the brake booster. There is a hose that comes off the brake booster and it just goes on that fitting. Without that hooked up, your braking will suck. If you have any questions you can call me 804-393-0516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnceggleston Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 The last picture is the vacuum boost for the brake booster. There is a hose that comes off the brake booster and it just goes on that fitting. Without that hooked up, your braking will suck. if he's standing on the passenger side of the car, i think the last pic is of one of the small vac lines that go over to the stuff on the passenger strut tower. the brake booster vac line is larger and on the driver side of the throttle body and the nipple faces to the rear. there are 3 lines that go in the direction of the strut tower. in older 2.2s they all went all the way, i think. in newer 2.5s they joined 2 together and only a couple go to the strut, I THINK. check the diagram. there should be a diagram on the under side of the hood. it should help with tracking this stuff down. is this the original engine? or a swap?

Fairtax4me Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 That last one looks like the hose that loops over to the evap purge control solenoid under the passenger intake runners. The vacuum hose routing diagram on the bottom of the hood should at least give you a general idea. The first 3 are for the PCV system. I can't find a good pic of the whole setup. Mike (mdjdc) will hook you up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzpile Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I do not mean to divert. The 2nd pic reminds me that my dipstick for the front differential is really loose. I'll do a new O ring tomadda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairtax4me Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Are we allowed to post pics from the subie service manual? I do. Or at least I used to. I had to wipe my hard drive, now I don't have Photoshop anymore, thus don't have anywhere to save pics that I would copy from the manual. Just too lazy to reload photoshop. If you have some post away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
