Airbox Placement confusion
« on: May 25, 2011, 06:31:54 PM »
Hello guys,

been awhile since I have wrote here. Finally have my engine mounted the 88 4.0 and now we have no clue what to do with the airbox.  Just doesn't fit. Do I need to do a cold air intake, what have other people done with this issue.  I put power steering in it where it didn't have it before and took all the room.

I picked up a 4.0 intake setup (stock) for free and put it on my YJ.





I had to drill 2 holes to attach it. Other than that fits like it was made to.

Is it for a wrangler or a cherokee?  Can you give me details on the exact thing I would need to buy?

Pretty sure it's off a 02 TJ. I got everything from the airbox to the TB. It's just the air tube and the airbox really.Mine came with a pretty fresh filter too.  Make sure the clamps are still there.

My mechanic said the vacuum had to run into the airbox line so figured it was a special but or adapter

Look at mine in the above PIC. There is a line that comes off the valve cover and T's. One goes to the brake booster and one to the air tube. The air tube has a fitting molded in to it. I might have had to buy new tubing but I don't remember. The plastic T is a factory thing. It has always been on.

Scott, if your booster is connected to the air filter tube and the valve cover is not working at all - there is no vacuum there. the booster should go to the intake manifold directly (no Ts or anything like that, so it get's max vacuum). I have no idea how you can stop that Jeep if it goes to the air box tube that goes to the t/b.

I think you're seeing the Evap canister line that connects to the T.  it normally goes to the airbox.

I am sure I am wrong on the brake booster line.  I forgot the evap can is in that corner under the brake booster. Next time I pop the hood I'll take a look.

The line going to the T sure looks like the Evap. line.  It's a hard plastic.

Brake booster goes to the manifold and is rather thick.
