Broke a nipple off air intake box (3 Viewers)

[Saluqui]

Hi All
I broke off one of the small hose nipples(larger of the 2 small) on the back side of part 17875-50190 box.
For 2000 LC. Any fix? The whole unit is like $400! I think this hose routes over to charcoal canister? If that hose is not going into the box, what's the outcome? Thanks!

Prep it with rough sanding/filing and then use Plastic-weld from JB weld.

If that doesn't work, drill it out, and use brake line hardware to make a metal tube nipple extrusion with some washers and nuts on both sides. Can get pretty creative in the hardware store isle as well.

Hi All,
What size bolts (2 I think) hold how the air intake unit to the manifold? My LC is missing these.- Thanks

If you are a bowhunter or know someone that has aluminum arrows, cut off a piece about 1.5" and JB weld it on. Works like a charm just like the nipple on top of a 80 series radiator,

Barbed nylon plastic or brass fittings come in all the right sizes- threaded, or non. Use JB weld to seal around the base of the fitting

Amazon is your friend here. This is a visual example for your search. I would try and find nylon or brass- this aquarium fitting prob won’t hold up to engine bay heat very long.

Not sure why I didn't think of something like this.

I found one on ebay for a decent price, may be worth looking around.

I fixed it with JB plastic weld. Seems to have worked great. It's rock solid.

I initially used JB weld but it didn't hold long... Drilled it out and used a bronze fitting and haven't had any issues since. Hopefully yours will hold up!

Can you get a P0171 code if that's cracked?

I replaced mine with a $59 Tundra intake.

The nipple broke off even with the jb weld. I used the fitting (home depot) and put JB weld around that and there are no leaks and it's very secure. My dash lit up when it was broke, so I fixed it asap. I don't have a photo but can take one if you need it...

You mean check engine light?

Check engine light and a few others... Can't remember which ones.

air intake pipe from k&n or airaid

Yes cobra head matched with TB opening. You need the shortest radius 90 you can find, and that seems to be it.
