should i cap this fitting off or leave it?

[Gainera2582]

Where the stock breather hose goes for the stock pipe on the superjet, is this needed to be capped off or should i just leave it like it is?

Thanks,



Aaron

I don't think its a breather. I think its a water line. I could be wrong though.

Anyway, mine is capped off.

 

[WaveDemon]

yup, it's a water line. my bro still has a stock head and it's capped.

 

[Frosty]

yup, water line. if you have an after market pipe you can just cap that off.

 

[cambo au]

yes water line when i put my pipe on ii cut it off drill and tapped it and run that out a pisser with a restrictor in the line

 

[Gainera2582]

Thanks for the responses guys. What should I plug the hole with?

 

[Mile9c1]

I think Factory Pipe supplies a cap for that if you buy it new. You can try filling it with some silicone sealant, I've done that before.

 

[Mile9c1]

If you fill it with solicone... overfill it so the sealant comes around he outside and forms a nice bond. Cost = free.

Advance auto parts has 1/4" and 3/8" little rubber caps. If you can't find them let me know and I'll grab a pack for you.

Alright, bumping this thread back up since I had to cut my riding day short because that damn silicone let go and caused my performance to suffer. Where can I get the vinyl cap and does it have to be 1/8 size?

Thanks,


Aaron

Might be too late but mine is capped off with a short piece of hose (about 1 1/4") and I have a piece of an aluminum pop rivet (the stem) stuck in there with 5200.

Never failed.

my buddy's had something similar...

get a piece of 1/8" primer line about 1 1/2 inch long, fill with silicone, slide on nipple, let it dry........ zip tie it on for security

I pinched mine shut with vice grips, it doesnt leak, its brass.

OR, stick 4 inches of rubber line on it, fold it over, and zip tie it.

simple enough.

I just talked to x2 cartel and this is what he said.

Buy a 10 kg billet of inconel and a 5 axis haas cnc mill. Make an exact copy of the oem head, except use 7075 aluminium instead of brass for the 1/8" fitting. Anneal everything 100 times.

Find a bit of 1/8" primer line or the oem water line.

Put a dab of silicone down it then fold over and cable tie it.

:laughing:

Well, im going to try the damn 1/4 cap I bought tonight from advance autoparts with some silicone and a ziptie. If that doesnt work, im going to go the primer route.

You can accually pull the fitting out of the head. Then you can screw in a small SS screw with some red loctite. Thats what I did on my B1 and ran it for 3 years with no leakage.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

I couldnt unscrew mine ( its SOFT/brass)

thats why I simply pinched it shut.

 

[Gainera2582]

now i gotta wait 24 hours for it to cure, makes me wonder if i should have used 5200 fast cure instead.

WTF .....silicone/hose/cobble jobs????? Put a freaking cap on it with a zip tie, done! Better yet, do as was mentioned earlier and drill and tap, hook up to an overboard pisser.
