Ahh right. Well I'd rather not tbh. Samco is a bit overkill IMO for what I want & peicing bits together involves internal joiners which will decrease the pipe size, so restricting it. Just not an option really.
It would appear there is a GM hose from a Cavalier TD that will do the trick. Fingers crossed.
Humm Craig is the hose/pipe you need something a bit like what use to be on my car when i runing it with a power cap?
Like this.

Doh, i had a piece of blue samco style hose like that knocking about aswell Craig
Scott, yes & NO.
Your powercap (SFi) is already half pointing in the right direction, where as my TB is closer to th eturret & not at an ideal angle. Its also different sizes either end. Like I say it should be sorted fingers crossed.
Need a new outer CV joint aswell, as one just wont clean out, it feels notchy.
No updates as I'm feeling totally under the weather currently. Been off work since Tuesday with tonsilitis. I ache all over too, like FLU.

Little pic I took t'other day.
whats the spec of the engine???
looking really good so far!!
Cheers mate, engine (C16XE) has Mantzel powerbox, Schrick cams & BTB 4 branch tubular manifold. I'll hopefully get a remapped UCU for it & I think it will need a cone filter as the airbox I have just wont be any use I think. My preferred cone filter is the pipercross vector type ones.
It'll have a juicy, new Walbro uprated fuel pump on it too.
Just compiling a little list of the next couple jobs I want to do;
Build a rosejointed gear linkage (not going to quick shift it just yet).
Purchase new Jubilee clips for entire coolant system.
Buy & fit new drivers headlamp....
Fit radiator grille, front bumper, splitter etc
Paint wiper arms, buy new blades.
Drop rear beam, dis-assemble & powder coat etc.
Few things to be getting on with!
Cool, not too much then :)
I hade a late 1.6i in my gsi, it didn't use an AFM, why not just use a late loom & ecu & bin the AFM ? (or is it not as simple as that?)Quote:
