    Look and Tell

    If anybody knows what these things are then could you tell me what they are and what is the point of them.

    It looks like it's injecting something into the engine. If I had to guess, I'd go with Nitrous.

    Or just fuel lines

    From this picture it is pretty hard to see. I can't give you an answer that i'm absolutely sure of. I'd have to look under the bonnet for that I guess, as every engine is different. Do you have more pictures or something perhaps, so we can get a bit of a better look ?

    Fuel lines that size are only used on ocean steamers. The pieces they feed into seem to be part of a forced induction system, so it might be some additional cooling.

    I wouldn't say they are fuel lines, the yellow chambers surrounded by red circles are between the turbos and the engine, which is more forward. Also I wouldn't say they are air-air intercoolers, because the pipes are too small. So they could be some kind of water/air intercoolers or, most probably, water, alcohol or Nitrous oxide injectors, because the kind of shielded lines. of course, in my opinion, i'm not sure

    yeah, with their being situated between the turbo and the intake, and with a slightly larger diameter than the intake pipe, they seem to be coolant fittings for a liquid intercooler setup...one for each bank.
