Subject:Turbodiesel question: Need to help to ID part on left side of engine compartment
From:BenT Syncro

Hi folks,

First let me apologize for the double+ post to those of you who belong
to more than one list.

The engine swap was just completed in my 1989 Syncro 16. It originally
had a factory installed 1.6td engine. I had a 1.9td (AAZ) from
Overland installed in it's place. Unfortunately, I was not present
when they removed the engine. Now I am faced with trying to identify
what remains from the old set-up for possible adaptation to the new.

There is what appears to be an airpump of some sort on the left side
of the engine compartment. It has some electrical connection to it and
what appeared to be paper/fabric hoses which were originally attached
to the old airfilter housing. It is residing in the place where I
intended to install a K & N filter which I in planned to seal from
engine heat. What is the function of this equipment?

TIA,
BenT
