morgey Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 You managed to squeeze the plenum in too I see. I think yours is a bit more forward than mine plus youve used the 20v mount or a variation of on the drivers side. I wish I had done mine that way now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think yours is a bit more forward than mine plus youve used the 20v mount or a variation of on the drivers side. I wish I had done mine that way now.Have to run the plenum and all the emissions gear to pass "engineering and EPA" testing in aus or your get slapped with defect notices "exhaust and emissions to comply" so it's a pain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ep911-20v Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Removed the air conditioning but wanted to retain the power steering so had to change the flat tensioner for a ribbed pulley and run the belt under it Then had to make the tensioner pull down not up Put a nut and spring washer on either side of the bracket The top nut is to lock it and bottom nut showed in the photo is to tighten the belt as well as the original adjuster bolt Blitz reservoir socks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hay as far as i know it is a civic radiator not sure what engine or chassis it's from possibly ek I could sell it to you but the core is not in good shape The alloy rad I have in there now was $100 from eBay rad,fan and alloy shroud no use of a rad without a shroud!

Ep911-20v Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Saving up for a set of these bad boys to fit inside the plenum chamber Sq engineering in Victoria Australia make them and claim they out flow toda and imec trumpets and add 7-9kw at the wheels across the rev range from 3200 rpm onwards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 They fit inside the chamber? Number 1 would be seriously restricted from flow i would of thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well if the core is bad, I'll get the Suzuki GTi 2 core I found for $74. A civic one doesn't have the top hose where I want it, plus I'd hate to say I have honda parts on my car... lolCheers mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, Rockingham just South of Perth. I bought mine from Melbourne (eBay) earlier today, $74 delivered for a GTi 2 core alloy rad, not bad considering a stock replacement is 400+ in stores.
