nurrish Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Rather you than me,i would not have the patience to do it. I take it with this setup you don't need a hideous bonnet? Yeah no whacky bonnet required But seriously this job is not for the faint hearted....the pipe down into the engine bay has about 1mm of room to move to get it to fit.....i resorted to a long file and a mallet Then you have to align it to the pipe underneath....needs to be **** on otherwise you wont get a correct fitment and lead to leakages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurrish Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 So this is probably the last update until i receive more bits....waiting on my AAM Fuel kit and walbro 255 pump. Broke the back of the job this weekend by getting the blower mounted and the pipes sorted ready to fit straight into my engine intake. This week i will probably get the belts on the stock cogs and onto the blower block... This leaves me to fit my injectors,oil cooler, larger oil pan, spark plugs, fuel rails, fuel return and fuel pump....Then she's getting 6 litres of the finest oil...plug in my utec and away she goes fingers crossed O and remember where all these random bolts i have laying around have come from Anyway last pic's as it is now having sold my carbon bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 noob question, tapping the plenum involves? can you not use the spare breather at the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 adam at z1auto does a plenum spacer with built in valves ready for fitting gauges onto. might even work for tapping the plenum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurrish Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 noob question, tapping the plenum involves? can you not use the spare breather at the front? With my setup i need to run atleast 3 valves into the plenum...the easiest route is to take a t off the nipple...but this could lead to problems and incorrect readings...so to tap the plenum is to add more nipples!
