Dahlback Reverse Inlet Fiment Issues?

[Jolfa]

The manifold fits, but the throttle isn't even close to bolting on as the TPS fouls the power steering pump (in particular the main hose fitting and associated bolt on the top of it)

It's an AAN if it matters, what's everyone else done about this? Looks very close to the MTM item, and I would imagine the Wagner mani would have similar clearance issues?

[Jolfa]

I'm thinking a short adapter to move it an inch is the way forward...

Stu had some adapters made up for this purpose, maybe he has some left?

Something like that would probably work, would need to be 30mm minimum though, that or I need to move the top PAS hose (or make it shallower) or move the throttle sensor somehow, or make a spacer that allows the throttle about 45 degrees to where it normally is.

Presumably all S2 throttles have the same layout?

[Jolfa]

Something like that

[Error404]

Yes all the same housing layout, the AAN one has a slightly longer spigot.
I never understood why MTM, Dahlback and Wagner didn't rotate the TB mounting through 90degrees to have it in the original orientation to avoid the throttle cam interfering with the bonnet.

[Jolfa]

I've got the bonnet clearance to look forward to after I've solved the clearance undernearth

I think you use a shorter PAS belt with the wagner one.

Make a new mount to drop the PAS?

Is that a dual stage pump you're using there? Can't quite see

[Jolfa]

I'm not sure? Never heard of dual stage PAS? How would I tell? I'll look at moving the pump next week too.

[Error404]

The dual stage pump powers the hydro brakes too, I wondered if you had carried it over from the AAN? As you are using the vacuum servo you would have a redundant part of the pump then.

[andy10v]

AAN is serpentine setup, as opposed to the v belt drive for PAS on 3B/ABY, what have you got now?

AAN setup from 12v.org

[Jolfa]

That looks like what I have, I'll double check when I get chance but I'm 99% sure that's it. Do you have a pic of a 3B/ABY to compare?

Is there much adjustment in the PAS pump? (Just being one of those annoying lazy gits who would rather ask online than use my eyes now, sorry )

A lot of belt driving sh*t all there, I dont have a viscous fan or air con

[Jolfa]

Took the path of least resistance and made an adaptor

A/C condenser probably?
