Post by: Alaska101 on January 28, 2004, 10:36:15 AM

My next projects to do are, fix the power steering mount for the resivor, fab up a roof rack and bumpers.(I have lots of time as I just got layed off forever :() Anyone have Bumper or rack ideas for a 4dr?

 :o10 hp really!!! :o

No, I was going to take it out but fogot, if you own a 8v you know it is a pain in the a** it is to put the oil in the filler behind the air intake, so I use a 1L wide mounth pop jug, aka custom funnel.

It does look good but do you think that its big enough? The Throttle Body on mine is 45mm bore at the butterfly. 1.5" is only 37mm which is considerably smaller, let us know how you get on with it when its hooked up. I've been thinking about this a fair bit lately as I'm thinking about getting the throttle body bored out to 50mm but I need to make sure I haven't got any big restrictions elsewhere. I have to say that at present the airbox isn't connected as I need to extend the pipe because of the body lift and I can't detect any performance gain though maybe its thrown the EFI out. Also its difficult to do a direct comparison as I now have 33s instead of 215s.

I think i need a snorkel....this fall I was wheeling and there was this "puddle" it hit it pretty fast but before i knew it the water was coming up over the hood! Oops.......the lights went underwater and everything it was a bad site. Plus we had to go back through it....

up close pictures of the intake end... is that the turbo cleaner that you used?

Post by: Alaska101 on January 29, 2004, 02:45:21 PM
The turbo pre-cleaner is a cleaner not a filter how it works is the air comming in makes the blades spin and the dirt an junk is blowen out the side. The whole thing cost me only 15.00 that was for the pipe (PVC!! NOT ABS!!!) the cleaner I got for free. you could get one at your local tractor shop. How I bent the pipe is just like bending electrical conduit, you slowly heat it up with a small torch then use a 1.5" pipe bender die, bend to shape one bend at a time, cooling each bend before moving on to the next one!. and only heat the pipe area that you need. Like all pipe and tube fabing you need to take your time.
Thanx for all the great coments about my rig!!!
I also have a big CB antana out the back so it looks like a big R/C car, like the ones we had as kids.
a closer look at the pre-cleaner

I have seen the Turbo cleaners on Tuckers - they are also good for keeping blowing snow filling up the filter. You do need a snorkel -- the Sidekicks are surprising in how long you can go with the hood submerged, but last time I went out to Jim Creek I was really concerned about my buddy's 'Kick being under that long. That fender must hold more air than it looks like it would.
