I don't have one handy m8 but if you have a Haynes manual I think there are some exploded pictures that would help.
Thanks, I have a manual but the pictures are not that good, they don't seem to show the route of the pipes or what they connect up to, will look again
Think I have a decent engine bay pic on my project thread. :)

Think I have a few engine bay pics that might be useful on my profile take a look mate hope it helps you out :-)
thanks all, but still no good, im a little way off putting the engine in, i want to spray the bay and do a little welding, may have to pay (with coffee and biscuits) someone local to me to pop round once the engine is in so i can see how they all go, thanks

My pipe work isn't 100% oe but near enough:agree:
Alright mate if you do get stuck i only live in walsall so can pop over been a while since iv messed with the c1j but il still be able to pipe it up :)

from what i have seen A goes to D, B goes to the actuator, what about C?
http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af313/franky1978/photo24.jpg (http://s1019.photobucket.com/user/franky1978/media/photo24.jpg.html)
pic above, this pipe is from the aftermarket boost gauge also the other connections on the carb
any help is very much appreciated, thanks
A or B is where you usually and mostly used to link your boost gauge to and to the front port of the actuator is standard one is in use.
C is fuel overflow outlet and should just have a pipe running over down in front of the gearbox
or behind it.
D can be loop'd to A or blocked off.
:)
Doh, and last picutre as said above for boost gauge can be linked to D and will give you minus vacuum reading aswell as boost pressure from carb base. :agree:
brilliant, thanks for that
sorry here are a couple more pics, the first is a selction of pipes all coming from the back left of the engine bay (standing in front of car) the original pipe has had a couple of 't' pieces added, if you can suggest where they go.
the second pic is of a pipe, again any help is gratefully received

Right, here goes. :laugh:
F should have a water pipe to it.
A and D go together.
E is where the fuel pipe goes.
B where the o.e. Dash boost gauge pipe goes.
:cool:
Oh, and last picture you don't really need any of that, but it bolts to the turbo elbow and has one way valve in the end, that's what at the end of it. Just put a short bolt in the turbo elbow and bin the rest. :agree:
Have a look at a couple pictures from here and zoom in if you can, should help ya abit more. :cool:

thanks again!! im sure there will be a few more thou
First one your over boost cut off switch. :agree:
Second one should go on the top of your oil breather pot. :agree:
Third one should be connected to your "telephone" induction hose! Or you could put a mini breather filter on it. :cool:
Just to add, I can see in the last picture your missing another oil breather pipe that comes off the rocker cover. :)
So the first one is right?
I will add a breather to the pipe as I will be fitting a k&n enclosed kit, as for the rocker, I have a pipe for that, I guess that will go to the oil breather pot too?
from the rocker to the oil breather pot then from there to a catch tank if your using one unless your running the oe breather setup.. can pop and help if need to mate :-)
bud, if you would be ok popping round that would be brilliant, im in redditch are you ok to travel that far?
Yeah no probs mate will try get over sunday if i can get mate to drive over stuck now i aint got my work van and my 5 is in bits lol.. But deffo be able to help pm me your address
