Intake

Time to turn our thoughts to the intake...

4" dia 90 deg. silicon bend


Short piece of silicon hose and alloy pipe off the throttle bode to ensure the 90 degree bend could clear the power steering reservoir.

The more astute reader will notice the missing radiator fan.

Clearing the power steering reservoir meant the huge shroud of the V6 Commdore thermo fan we had installed a couple of weeks prior was now going to foul the intake <sigh>.

Solution to that little issue next post.

The good news is the top radiator hose I sourced here, worked a treat (with a bit of judicial trimming)!


Trialing the MAF/pod position...

Positioning the Pod


Dummied-up...

Final Position


This will be the final position of the pod/MAF, with some tweaks to be made to the reducer section length (4" section too short... swapped for a longer one), and exposing some of the alloy pipe at the throttle body (by reducing the 90 deg. bend leg length).
