Got a new MAP, plugged it in, same issue. Turns out the brown wire into the female plug was dodgy.

So I rewired it and....

Epic!

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.

What's wrong with the KLS shifter? I might swap mine for it?

Nothing, just wanna go back to stock.

PM'd.

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.

 

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.

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

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.

or leave shoe mount for more ghetto points? lol good to see its playing nice for you and you are enjoying it finally

I can't think of a shoe pun, so...

 

I moved the outlet pipe at work today.

 

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!

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.

It took a lot of head scratching but it should work out OK.
