Please!! Trying to get mine back on and I'm unsure on how a few hoses connect up and where. This if for a stock Evo IX. If anybody has or can link me to closeup pics of the IM from all angles i would much appreciate it!

Hope these make sense. I numbered the connections so they correlate between the two pics. Red was used for connections that can be seen, yellow for the connections that are hidden. White was used for what actually was written on the house when you look at it.

Some probably "not so useful" pictures showing which hoses and connections I am referring to. Last pic is of parts that I'm unsure where they go:

Not sure what you all need pics of, but I'll be up for a little while longer probably on here off and on. Let me know if you need something else.

 

Thanks! Updated OP to be more specific. Will take a look at your pics in the morning.

 

 

Uhhhh wtf, my IX manifold doesnt have that "EVAP stuff on it o.O"

 

OMG thank you Pegasus and schiedes! You both were very helpful! That takes care of unknown connections 4 through 8 plus a few hoses. I'm still unsure of where 2 and 3 connect though as well as a few more unused parts. Both pics attached below.

EDIT: Found connection 1 in a previous attached pic.
Edit2: It appears that the hose I have circled (the longer of the two) is used where I thought the short one was used. I have a faint feeling the short one goes to connection 2 and 3.





You sure? It's hard to see unless you either look from under the car (as seen in the pic) or you lean way over the engine bay to see behind the manifold. It's sneakily hiding behind there.

 

Pic #2 the goldish piece you can see in my pic looking towards the TB. You can see it mounted to the block or something, with that black piece holding the wiring harness in place near the fuel rail.

 

Ok, I see that now. Still unsure of the black bracket, 2x plastic "grommets", and one of those hoses.

 

the grommets are for the fuel rail. black bracket attached manifold to the alternator.

 

Looks like you won't need my pics, Scott .

 

Lesson Learned:

- Always label lines and parts as your taking them off so you know where they go when you need to re-assemble. Also take pictures if you think there are certain things you may not remember exactly how it was assembled.

 

OMG that makes so much sense about the rubber grommets! I was wondering why the fuel rail sat 1cm too far out to the mounting brackets, haha. And darn those random brackets to attach to every mounting point possible in the car

Thanks guys. You have all been very helpful! This might sound dumb, but the manifold has been off on the car for the past 4 months or so while it was getting worked on. I got a new job and priorities shifted for the better, but that meant the car took the back burner. Slowly I forgot where everything went. Definitely wasn't planning to take as long as I did. Otherwise I do agree that everybody should take pics if necessary before removing parts.

 

Hey man, as luck would have it I got my buschur ported mani in the mail yesterday and tore my car apart. I took a bunch of pics as I plan on doing a writeup for the how-to section for R&R'ing intake mani. Hope these help:
