Hi All,

 

Not sure how long the big rubber intake hoses are meant to be but mine don't appear to be long enough to reach right up to the stops on both the throttle bodies and the metal air intake pipes at the front of the car - do they shrink with age? Has my engine rocked backward or something?? It's not causing a major problem but I'm not happy thinking they won't seal as well as they might...

 

Cheers!

Hey Rob!

 

those intake hoses were removed to allow your engine to lean back a little so that I could get at the top bellhousing bolts when sorting your g/box out.

 

Loosen the clips and give them a twist, sometimes they sit a bit nicer against the hard pipes at each end.

 

Cheers matey.

LMAO! Fair enough - ta Ben...

 

Been wondering if the converion has anything to do with my current idling probs...lots of extra vacuum hoses etc. Must be a vacuum leak - I've put a new TPS in which made it worse (higher) - and yes it's set up right. I had to knock it right back so that I could get it down to 1200 rpm - full throttle is now about 90% on the AVC-R :-\ thanks to the TPS voltage being set so low :-(. No point adjusting the idle speed as the setting wasn't changed so must be something else.

 

Gonna pu another post on the board about this now..

 

Cheers!
