Wagner Inlet Install Questions

[GazzaG60]

its the originals that sag. the new mounts are up to it.

i had to re-jig the x member and reweld the stub bracket on as it had no chance.

no cutting of bonnet needed. its one spot that needs a little flattening. you need to trim the black plastic cable holder, thats all.

think there are so many differences because of 1, the way the x memebr fits to these cars and 2 the diffgerence in old to new mounts.

belt length

Hi, belt is 1025mm long x 13mm wide, Found this is the shortest belt
that fitted as I tried a 1000 and no chance of getting on PAS pump
hits bracket with a shorter belt

Bonnet update

Hi All

Got a little further with the install

Bought a long cable as suggested By S2_BO, Cut 300mm of outer cable
and made up metal sleeve to join the outers, threaded through new inner
and clamped at pedal with small connector block, Works a treat

Not yet cut bonnet but looks like not much needed

I did make the mistake of buying 034 street density engine mounts which
are a PITA, Why ooh why bother selling something which is not even the same
size as the original, Either that or my originals have sagged by about 10mm

If the flange where the manifold to throttle body was 25mm further down then
there would be no issues for anyone as there is plenty of room down there in
front of radiator, Anyone know where I could get a spacer then just use long
bolts and 2 gaskets

[GazzaG60]

i didn't

i used new track desity mounts too and they sit high. i removed the plastic and used a panel hammer to make a small flatter section bout 8cmx4cm. it required trimming of the cable holder too. throttle cable mods i did were to mount a network switch rack mount bracket to where the original throttle cable runs. cut original and use some brake pipe to fill the gap. i then put some piping round it to cover it all up. 18 months on...

you would never fit the airbox in with tubes and a turbo worth the tubes.

cutting a hole in the bonnet is really a shame.

[rash]

I know 5 people who got the Wagner/PKM inlet fitted in their S2 and everyone of them has cutted away some metal from the hood... ...why not... cut tidy and put paint on it properly - so no problem

you also have to cut away the lower mount for the original airbox if you use a tubular exhaust mainfold... who cares... only tiny cosmetic surgeries...

Do you have the lenght of that belt?

sorry, not a clue...just luck that when i went hunting was the first one I picked up.
I knew roughly how many teeth it needed to be but no idea what car it was meant for or the length.

I didnt realise this hood cutting business till after I fitted a very frustrating home made accelerator cable which consequently came away at the first press with the bonnet shut.

Great kit but not bolt on, but then what bolt on kit ever is ...and could have come with some bolts and clamps I think, would've made the package a little more user friendly.

Thanks all, I'll have a better look in daylight,

I'll drop my mounts down as far as i can go and look at raising
gearbox on its mounts to see if that helps

Cheers All

i would rather cut in the inside of the hood than changing engine/gearbox angle..

There are two bonnet types, one catches one doesn't according to Pogea racing.

Mine need cutting but then I do have a taller deck

WTF??

there is only some minor cutting on the plastik needed, to clear the gaswire Wheel.

If you are using different Motormounts like the ones from 034, they will lift up the engine a couple mm. Just put some spacers underneath the Motormounts to the the Engine back to the right position. But do not cut out the Bonnet!!!!!

Stock engine mounts, lowered as much as possible.

Cut the plastic trim, still caught.

12 hours before going to the 'ring it was take it all off, or cut.

[Lupo911]

Mine fitted fine without cutting the bonnet, I did have to remove some of the plastic trim but thats all.

sure thats how it should be!

Hi All

Anyone had problems with a wagner IM hitting bonnet ?

[terrybullwon]

Halfords do a belt thats perfect. need to remove the pulley to fit it tho. and this is the longest you can get away with using

You have only 2mm clearance from the bottom of the manifold.

I may grind a bit off the corner of the power steering pump bracket.

halfords code is

HB1025C

Do you have the lenght of that belt?
