Default LS2 Reassembly, a few loose ends

Ok, so I have been in the process of putting things back together and I have a few things that are unused.

First, this hose goes back behind the 2 reservoirs into the firewall. Not sure what it is supposed to go on the other end.



Next, nothing is plugged in to the left nipple on my intake.



Also, wanted to make sure this was correct. Have the front plastic line plugged in to the left side of the intake



Finally, this is really a stretch but I have quite a bit of left over hardware. Figured some of you may know where the clips go at least. They're the metal ones.



Lesson learned here, I'm going to take my time next time and label everything or document the steps closer. This left over hardware deal really bothers me :/

Those look like the little safety clips for the injectors, so that they don't come off the rail.

The four longer bolts look like intake bolts?

Ahh right on. I think I remember where the clips are from now!! The bolts aren't intake bolts though. They are a little shorter and the intake is already bolted down! I'm beginning to wonder if my collection didn't grow while the car was apart.

I broke few of my clips, those things were hard to take off for me as well as another clip near the TB.

The brackets (top) go ontop of the intake for the fuel rails, rear of the intake.

The furthest left bolt looks like the bolt that goes into the head (pass side) holding the dipstick in place.
The one next to it is definitely for the head somewhere. Probably a ground on the back or side of the head.

No clue on the little metal clips.
No clue for the two tiny bolts
No clue on the 6 longer bolts

Next, nothing is plugged in to the left nipple on my intake. you should see 2 pipes one under the other , those get a hose looped to them its part of the pcv system , or catch can if you run one



Also, wanted to make sure this was correct. Have the front plastic line plugged in to the left side of the intakecorrect



Finally, this is really a stretch but I have quite a bit of left over hardware. Figured some of you may know where the clips go at least. They're the metal ones. yes the silver clips lock the injectors in

hope this helps some

Thanks guys. That clears some of it up. My only question left I guess would be about the nipple on the pass side of the intake. You said a hose runs from it to the one below it, which is attached to the valley cover. I assumed that the valley cover was attached to the outlet on the valve cover (can be seen to the left of the fuel rail). What goes there?

Ok, so I figured out that the one on the valve cover attaches to the cai. I'm missing the rubber part that attaches the plastic line and valve cover. Any idea where I can get this part or what it's called?

Just use any 3/8 vacuum hose. doesn't have to hold pressure or anything.

Ok, kinda figured as much.. For the one that goes from valley to intake, it is kinda a tight loop and looks to have one size on one side and another on the other side. What do you guys recommend for that? My old one didn't come off in one piece.

the factory hose was molded with the curves to fit , if you make enough of a loop it will be fine
