CRV nipple on stock airbox broke off.

Well, my dumbass broke the CRV nipple off the airbox while putting it back in to my car and I need to figure out a way to either fix it or plug it. Will regular super glue hold it on? I tried some silicone adhesive stuff I had, but that won't bond to the plastic. Or should I just leave the CRV vented and plug it with something?

You can just leave it vented and plug the airbox hole. You can vent the CRV or BOV or both it really doesn't matter.

No. Clean off any remaining part of the nipple and make a nice even hole in the air box. Go to your local plumbing supply store and buy a threaded nylon nipple a tad larger than the diameter of your hole and you should be able to thread it in.

In the future, you will need to be careful pulling the hose off of that nipple. It is better than paying Mazda $400.00 for their crummy airbox.

You can buy a used airbox in the parts section for $25.

I have a stock air box in my FD pile of goodies. It's yours for 25 bucks if you pick it up. I live 1 mile from Old town Alexandria off Duke St.

call me @ 703.980.9439

Thanks for the offers guys, but I got it fixed with a 3/4" threaded pipe from Lowe's.
