Just thought I'd share some pics of piping, huge filter and intercooler. Enjoy.
Greg: 2 vacuum ports?

I've been making slow progress on the car recently due partly to a car accident (a truck rear-ended me) and other issues.
No pics to show yet but soon.
on another note, I found these wheels on Ebay and thought I'd share them.
They are 17' x 8"(ish) with a 35mm offset. I really hope they fit without much trouble. I may need to bore the centre hole as they were on a 164.
There is a tiny bit of damage but not too bad for $250 AUD.

Only one vacuum port ring is needed. Use the one with the BIG port because you will need to connect it to the port just after the intercooler via the bypass/blowoff valve.
Those big 3 inch pipes may need slight bending at a muffler shop, but they should be darn close. They will be fine to get it running but it would be worth your time at some point in the future to go to smaller pipes 2.0"-2.5" would be better.

Great Job
Great Job Alfettish. You will be very happy. And by the way you are moving very fast. Can't wait to see it done. What are you doing with the interior?
I found a great source for leather who is doing me interior for a great price.

GTV6 Passion, the interior has been freshly refurbished and I'll show some pics later today.

It's dusty from sitting in the garage but you get the picture. I need to get a new gearknob and boot leather.
Can anyone identify the front seats? They are close to GTV6 ones but the top of the seat back is flat instead of having 2 horns that integrate the headrest!
Should I mount the boost guage on the dash in a pod or somewhere else? I was thinking a vent but now I want to keep them original. I don't want to cut anything up either. |

Nice Alfettish, looks like a very fun project  . Where are you putting the reservoir for the IC.

You are right the interior looks great. Tell me one thing the 90o yellow silicone piping can you tell me what size they are. In other words how tall are they. ALso what diameter are they

Not sure where the reservoir is going, I'll decide on that once the piping is in since that's got to sit in a predetermined position, whereas the reservoirs and pumps can sit even inside the cabin (it wouldn't be ideal but I'll do it if need be).
edit on the wheel size they're 17x 7 1/2" not 8".

Corbeau GTS II?? Maybe? With a custom headrest and some recovering?
Now that I type that, it seems a bit of a stretch...  And the seat bottom looks too short in the images below.

The yellow silicone couplers I use are 3"-3" out of the supercharger and 3"-3.25" into the throttle body. I also use a 3.00-2.75" comming out of the supercharger when using smaller pipes. It's easier to transition down to 2.25" or whatever from the 2.75" coupler end.
