hey,

just thought i would post uo how things are going now that it's (was) running. afetr having problem after proble finally got everything sorted (kind of) got it back today now with a good tune n it. wasn't looking for to much power out of it was expecting around the 80hp mark as iam not 100% sure on what the engine as had done to it but came bak makink 104rwhp so was pretty pleased with that.

took it for a drive just up 2 the round about and feels good, so put it in the Shead while i go get ready, then go 2 actually drive it to a mates house and wouldn't start. Next min the throttle bodies arent connected to the manifold anymore, so so excited to drive it and when it comes to drive just find another thing i have to fix.

but still happy with it, just thought i would let use know how the throttle bodies go, cheers.

Looks FANTASTIC!

Where did you find the pod filters - do they fit the throttle bodies without modification? What outside diameter are your throttle bodies where the filters mount? Is there a horn or velocoity stack incorperated with the filter?

Sorry for all the questions.

Cheers.

Hey Paul,

thanx for that, the filters are just K&N filters, they just went straight on didn't have 2 to any modifications to them, but i think the T/B's have been spaced out so there more inline with the runners so the filters have plenty of clearence between them.

The OD. of the T/B's i think are around 54mm and the ID. of the filters are 51mm, so there a tight fit at 1st but after a while you can pull them on and off with no trouble.

www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=RC-2580

they are the filters.

cheers for the comments guys.
