Aluminium Hose Plug DV, PCV etc

[S2 Ant]

Maybe not... it leaks from where the hose connects to it, looks like its damaged there more than the rad itself.

The guy i bought it from also replaced the main RAD, as it was almost new when i got the car.

Doug, I tried them in a piece of original hose that I have, but taken from the end, not down by the "T".
Let me know how much smaller you think it should be and if the upper one could be smaller too, thia would make it simpler, just to make both of them smaller. I think Lee's looked like they fitted alright.
Do you want to send that one back so I can reduce it? Or I'll swap it at the next meet.
Ant I can do you a pair, PM me.

[Doug_RS2]

Can you PM me your address John. Just one is a bit tight. I'll take a pic and a measurement over the weekend.

[Jamo]

Are these plugs available to buy still?

I need a couple to plug the Aux Rad until i get it re-cored.

[S2central.net]

On a quick measurement I did at the weekend, it seems that 25mm diameter plugs will be fine. I verified this by using a dead TBV on both hoses and it was a good fit !

Dahlback did here:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but where's the MAF in this picture?

[Jeffer]

I know that the 1000HP supra guys have a MAF simulating-like devise. It simulates the MAF signal, so you can remove the MAF atach the simulator and bolt an airfilter straight on the turbo.

Whats the other little air filter next to the main one? And I think there's another to the right of the intake manifold.

I was wondering exactly the same thing. Cute little doods aren't they.

[Lee]

There is no MAF in that picture. You don't NEED a MAF if the system has been setup to take other inputs for mass flow data (pressure and temperature). If the engine has been set up properly in a dyno cell you can do away with the MAF. Does anyone know what EMS this engine is running? Dahlback claims over 900bhp in some states of trim but I am dubious. Either he can rev it to well over 9K, it last about 100 miles between rebuilds or he has NOS for short duration kicks!

Extra filters? Lets see, one nearest IM is likely for oil vapour management and the one near the main intake filter could be attached to the dump valve to prevent ingress during shifting. Could be wrong on the latter but I have been scratching my head to think what else it could be.

Lee,

I think I remember reading somewhere (Kruemmer probably) that one of the Dahlback motors revs to 10K rpm , solid lifters of course....mental.

Mark.

[Lee]

Solid lifters..mmmmmm. I keep saying that this is the only way to go with these heads to extract good power from these engines. Do it right and high revs (=high power)become an option. At the end of the day this is a 2.2 litre kicking out a claimed 900bhp!!! Respectable in anyones books for a road legal car.

For that HP, speed-density would make sense. I wonder too what he is running. Motec? I heard that Mathias - the guy with the green 800 HP car - is running Autronic.

Speaking of redlines, is anybody on this list running more than stock redline? 8000 maybe?

Mine has been upto 7800 - or at least it looked like that on the rev counter - the rev limiter has been increased in the maps I was running.

[Lee]

Mine hits the limiter every day and that is set to 7500 or so. I believe that the standard is 7440rpm anyway.
