AAN Inlet Manifold on ABY

[martinjs]

No hole yet - do you mean behind the reg plate? I think I will get the car running before I do that. I am not looking forward to doing that!

Ive been trying to pluck up the courage to do mine, but am not sure where abouts the number plate will be going.
Do you reckon you could get away with moving it to one side like some of the alfas?

I will have the number plate on the car, covering the hole most of the time. I will remove the plate for when I thrash the car. It can get put in the windscreen.

It needs a better solution - just not sure what yet.

All I need to do now is fit a bracket to fix the rad in place, fit the front slam panel, fit the exhaust adapter and fill with fluids.

Doug whats the goodrich blue ended hose sticking up behind the air filter, connected to the exhaust??

EGT port (worked it out myself )

[Doug_RS2]

it is not the egt port - I have 2 of them on the downpipe though. It is a pipe that goees into the flow of exhaust gases faceiing backwards - it will create a vacuum in the hoses - and the other end of the hose will get connected to the catch tank.

Could have used one off a late Saab 95 they use a vac generator for their brake servo, uses a tiny bleed of boost over a jet to cause a vacuum the same way as an aerosol works (fitted by the TB), or is it to pull off the fumes and burn them??

[Greg_S]

its done like that as standard but on the inlet boot to the turbo, the idea is to remove the oil fumes from getting into the inlet tract at all so the exhaust is used.

Can you make a DIY for this! "All" my hoses have an oil film!

Have you tested the system? I considered to use such a system, but found this in a David Vizard book:

"It cannot be used where a silencer is installed in the exhaust system, unless the silencer presents no back preassure whatsoever"

"An evacuated sump system proved less effective on a turbo engine then a normally aspirated engine. Crank case pressures at full throttle were only fractionally below atmospheric pressure"

Made be a bit unsure. Anybody BTDT?

Cheers,

not tested the vacuum yet - I will do soon.

Gr8. Please post the results. If it works I'll use it too

The car ran last night - in the driveway.

I need to put some low boost maps in the car to run it and fix a blowing weld on the exhaust - then I can drive it

Nothing fell off yet - I want to run it in daylight so I can see if anything is leaking, falling off, rubbing etc.

I can't beleive how shattered I am getting this done - lying on the ground in the rain and cold was not pleasant- but it had to be done. Anyone who does this mod needs their head examined - whoever designs one that can keep all the pipework, PS pump standard will make a fortune!

Doug, not sure if you need your head examined or a medal for all the effort you've put into that car.

[Greg_S]

Well done doug, glad to hear it is back up and running properly. Bring on the proper boost now
