Most of the SC's cars I've seen all have the K&N fitted.

 

[evocarlos]

Yes, you'll need some elbows to divert

 

[evocarlos]

it official
off it goes

 

[evocarlos]

Yes, you'll need some elbows to divert

did you cut the hose tail down any ?

 

[z22se-fan]

did you cut the hose tail down any ?

Yes a lot. Just so it just diverts before the fan case. What kind of rad you'll be using? You have the GSI front bumper am I right? That has a lot more space for a front mounted rad than my coupe bumper

i do have a gsi bumper not fitted but i like the coupe bumper i have yet to make a decision
taking me dad up the scrap yard to see what bit i can find to use on the build use

 

[stokie]

is it clean and what or its dimensions ? needs a 75mm opening and less than 130 diameter

whats this lark a about the battery not fitting
View attachment 14150 View attachment 14151

also moved the fuel vent solenoid
View attachment 14149

it is clean and i will get the dimensions today and i will take a picture of it

 

[evocarlos]

the scrap yard haul got me some new seals for the ecu plugs and enuff rubber elbows to fit the job also picked up a right angle fitting for the dual by pass endplate and some all thread to make longer bolts from

 

[jwalker]

Will you be using the Courtenay idler pulley?

 

[evocarlos]

Will you be using the Courtenay idler pulley?

was going to make one from a z22se tensioner pulley and part of the usa bracket will see close to the install time trying to sort the wiring if the rain ever stops

 

[evocarlos]

120amp fitted with rear cover and suppressor

120amp cover off


you can just see the suppressor at the back


still a little concerned about the nut on the output shaft

 

[pottsey]

that stud looks a bit close carl ,I take it your cutting it back

 

[evocarlos]

that stud looks a bit close carl ,I take it your cutting it back

it sure is close but i think im just going to pack the alternator out 5mm to be sure

 

[evocarlos]

its close
packed it out with 4 washers it looks better

 

[evocarlos]

one 120amp alternator fitted plenty of clearance now and i've not used any washers to pack it out theres about 5 mm clear between the output pin and the inlet case
put a big gob of liquid insulation tape on the nut to stop any problems


fixed both the engine mount and gear box mount with PU18 (aka tigerseal)


pushed the inlet mount collar back so it clamps down to my engine layout and not an lsj


spacers made for the A/C pump 35mm wont fit lol this is now my next problem


gahhhh!! look at that stupid pipe sticking up


why is it not like this one from an astra g 1.7dt 1998


inlet dual pass sort of setup needs a little work to be right
