So these are engine bay pictures of a Hilux I purchased in Japan that will be getting shipped here in the next few months.

Can anyone tell me based on the picture what hoses I'm missing, and what purpose they serve?

circled in red, please let me know if you notice anything else.

I did some google searches of engine diagram's but couldn't find anything. looking at pictures of the 5VZFE it seems like many of them don't have have whatever is sticking out of the intake manifold, though some seem to.

Thanks!

The one on the air box we usually block off as there is no hookup for it in the Surfs I have seen.
The one on the intake routes to the power steering I believe, I can shoot a pic for you later tonight if you don't get your answer.

The one on the intake is for the 4WD. It creates the vacuum in the vacuum canister in the driverside wheel well and that check valve hold the vacuum in it.

Maybe that's a 2WD.
 
Here are a few better angle pics, the hose from the intake connects to the bottom of the power steering tank.

And for the one on the air box close to the filter, stock mine was capped and with the intake I setup it is gone completely.

thanks for the pics guys!

is there any reason these would be removed? it is a 4WD.

I've noticed looking at engine bay pictures that often the one circled on the intake manifold is either capped off, or looks like it did not even exist on some generations.

what purpose does it serve? seems odd to have it going to power steering, no?

i'm considering driving the vehicle back from Vancouver (2000 KM) once it arrives and i'm wondering if this is something I should be concerned with addressing ASAP or if it can wait until I get it back home.
 
That is nice what you have for the hoses.

Did you just techflex the hoses and heat shrink the ends to keep it from moving?

Very nice.



It is techflex. I would've used blue heat shrink but it was a horrible match. I've since covered the heat shrink with blue electrical tape.

In your pic I can not see below the power steering reservoir, if it has that silver looking piece at the bottom with the two spots for hoses I would recommend adding the needed hoses, they are cheap so why risk it.

Mine is a '97 SSR-G 4WD with the Multi-Mode J shifter.
As for the one off the front airbox, again the 2 surfs I have owned did not use it.
Hope this helps.
