Title: Been a busy boy..
Post by: steverubberduck on 28 March 2009, 22:06:40
been fitting a couple of bits today...
But this plenum will only be on for a couple of weeks as i have got to sort my cam cover gaskets, and i have a blue plenum and egr arm to go on
got a couple of new blue pipes, and a new grill.

I had it made, one of our other members had it made, and i liked the idea of it, so gave it a go.
Not too expensive to have done.

nice job! :)
one thing - there is no need to connect the vacuum pipes to this vacuum valve near your air filter box...
you can get rid of this long vacuum pipe coming nearby the air filter box

(only the electrical plug has to stay connected to this valve)

fairplay about the air resonator....
i agree with some of the previous threads about it, it does seem to be lacking on lower revs....
but foooooooooooooooooooooooook has it got a power band!!!
it gets to about 3500 rpm and it's like it has a turbo!!

well i have been a very busy boy today....
repleced my leaking cam cover gaskets, not as bad as i thought it would be...
and also put a couple more blue things in my engine bay...
This is how it is stopping now, as i can't be bothered to change the plenum or air resonator again  :D
Seems to run a lot better with the original intake, compared to the rubbish cone.
let me know what you think.

they are blue ht leads, they are fuel cats, equivelant to magnecor.
i think they cost me about £70.

Get tickets direct off the pvs website, i think they're about £15 each.
It's a wicked day out if you love vauxhalls.
This will be my 3rd year.  :y
