Well since you will not come to Vegas for "What Happens in Vegas" meet will you be at Seven Stock. I gotta see all this polished stuff

 

Getting closer...

 

Look at all those Cool T-bolt clamps!
Noice!

 

This may just be my opinion, but wouldn't it be easier/better to have the filter sit in the opening where the stock VFAD tube sat? The run a 350z style intake and have cool air all the time for your filter, rather than having it way down low? I know we live in Arizona, but that filter wouldn't last a 3 hour drive on my car.

 

^^^
The Filter used will not fit in the stock VFAD location behind the bumper. I think the diameter is 5". The pic makes it look lower than it really is. It's above the top of the undertray.

O BTW no 350Z style stuff on meh kar!

 

That MAF setup is no bueno.

 

Why not? Its an unmodified K&N piece I believe. I guess Dave will have to chime in with it is. Its at least has 4" of straight before and after the MAF.

Does it need to be straighter for longer than that? I guess I could put the filter directly on it, don't really want to run an hot air intake though

BTW I am going to add an o2 bung pre-turbo like you mentioned...

 

maybe Jeef is thinking the before and after is less than what is really there. For certain the Al displayed fore and aft of the MAf in the pic does not equal 4". Alot of the Aluminum is covered up by the couplers in the pic then.

. Would this configuration still provide the proper requirements needed by the annular air flow of the MAF?
Please provide your esteemed technical wisdom Jeff.

Thanks

 

The 90° into the turbo is too close.
Modify the shaded section in this pic and mount it there with a screen before the MAF.

 

Problem really lies in the orientation of the turbo. I guess we can stick the filter directly on the maf then. As long as Davey springs for a good w/a system down the line it will probably be fine...

I see 8 C intake temps @ 16psi on the shop car with a hot air intake...

 

Leave the filter where it is.
Just put the MAF in the tube down there.
Just make sure the diameter is 3.375".

 

That's the inner diameter!

 

^^^ Good point made.
ID is not OD and vice versa. I think it may be resolved already.

 

Wiring harness thermal sleeve.. Doesn't require loom removal...

 

I'm glad to see to how the progress is going on your ride. I should of had mine at the turbo building stage until my run in with sheriff Joe.

 

Got the new flanges cut for the thermostat outlet. We will be selling these on our site too, for the do it your self guys, and the ones who want to upgrade other shops kits...

 

The Omp in it's new home. Snugly behind the glove-box.
Why here you may ask. Well i didn't have any space in the engine bay to hide it. I can't get rid of it, or the onset of limp mode happens.

Oh and BTW, Happy B-day to the build! Now lets get the damn thing done.

 

um... ok

 

Spit it out Grimmy.

 

you really had no other place in the engine bay for the OMP?

 

Not really. I didn't want to expose it the elements and grime. There isn't any room under the UIM.

 

hmm, in the glovebox but not being used I assume? oil in the cabin would stink. lol

if you do plan on using it, i see space in front of the washer bottle, around where the air pump use to be, etc.

 

you're braver then I would be sir

 

Yep just there to fend off the dtc's if it's missing. God, i don't even want to image what it would smell like.

I have to be really on top of the pre-mix.
