More tb42e questions

[Parksy]

Hi all

Just wondering what this funky blown out looking black intake tube is for?

And I've heard the term silver top with regards to the td42, does it also apply to the tb42 series motor? I've seen tb42's with a black rocker cover and mine has a silver, so just curious.

Cheers

U referring to the tube that is in the shape of a "U" coming from the manifold to the plastic thingo closest to the throttle???

Never seen a tb42e with a black rocker cover, mines silver the same as yours. Would be interesting to know.

91 Ti TB42 Carby and silver top here.

Parksy, I'm guessing your talking about the rectanglular bulge in the intake pipe right next to where it joins the flexi pipe? It may be for some type of sensor? is there any wiring going into it?

Sorry nissangq4.2, the thing that has nissan 84J00 stamped on the placard. Doesn't have any sensors or anything. Some kind of expansion chamber. No idea.

hahaha, I though you were talking about one of the rubber hoses was blown out and the U shape one had a dark section that looked like it could possible be damaged.

Not sure what it really does mate, but will look into it

I've seen similar shaped intake pipes on other petrol efi engines but no idea what they do! Lol.
I think you're right with the expansion chamber idea.
