So I rewired it and.... http://youtu.be/_C28z1HL0pM Edited April 9, 2013 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Still heaps to do. Wire dizzy and TPS properly (soldered connections etc) Air box with oil catch can routed into it. Oxygen sensor Speed sensor (might make a hybrid AE82/KE70 dash cluster) If anyone wants to straight swap my KLS short shifter for a standard T50 shifter gimme a holler. No idea where mine went.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Just scored a VR airbox with all the bits and pieces for cheap. Once this is in I'm going to take it to be certified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Drove a 2 hour round trip to get the airbox, didnt miss a beat, purred like a kitten. Pretty much the first time since I have bought it that it has been enjoyable to drive. I suppose Ill keep it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerfbat Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) awesome news mate..! and this car has shown your tenacity..! much respect for sticking with it. i woulda thrown it in the 'too hard' basket ages ago Edited April 10, 2013 by nerfbat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Cheers man, it was immensely satisfying driving it tonight. Started fiddling. So much for a straight forward install. This is how it will sit, it will be able to be bolted down properly. The exit pipe will be relocated to the top of the airbox. i have ordered a 3" 90 degree silicone bend which will go to one of the VR expandable rubber things then to the existing blue 3 to 2.5" silicone step pipe. I'll grab a K&N filter and sort out some kind of CAI with the J pipe left over from the VR intake pipe. Better idea of how it will work. And how it sits. Shoe will be replaced with proper mounts.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I can't think of a shoe pun, so... I moved the outlet pipe at work today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeLJ Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) commodore airboxes are suprisingly useful for this sort of thing. I used a VS airbox in an AE92 SX that I threw together for my father in law. Fit perfectly, just a good size and shape ohhh, and do the happy dance!

ke70dave Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I tried to do what you are doing with the commondore airbox, but gave up after about 15mins. Nice work for continuing! hah Should come up nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 It took a lot of head scratching but it should work out OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
