Post Engine Bay Pics!

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

did that come with mass air stock? what year is it?

i have the same boost controller on the golf

They all came with what's called a Vane Air Meter. It has a door inside that moves sort of like a throttle blade. It's pretty gay actually but gets the job done. There were 2 different sizes, that one being the largest size from the Tunderbird Turbo Coupes. You have to get the matching ECU to go with it.

You can't go wrong with the Gillis boostvalve...it's simple and dead reliable.

Wow. Got any more? I really like the black bay on white car.

 

[UnderdogGN]

These other engine pics blow mine away, but its what ive got to work with right now.

Is that a Mac cold air kit?

Yeah i think so, I picked it up on egay a few years back for next to nothing in pieces...

Wondering if anyone knows any info on this car?

Does it have a remote turbo, because that is a very large intake tube?

Anyone know what pulleys those are?

Or what power steering pump that is?

One of my favorite engine bays!

Yeah that flat black in the white bay is damn good looking. What are the large filters for on the driverside fender? I think they are filters at least...???1?1?1

 

[backfocus]

That is an oil filter relocation, easier to change the filter, but can make a mess on the nice paint!

 

[Flavadave4]

Ahh....why 2 filters?

 

[backfocus]

Having 2 filters and all the line to do the remote mount allows you to run about a quart more oil than the regular location. This is another reason that I think it has a remote mount turbo, with would require a little more oil, but allow you to keep the stock pan.

I am really interested in learning more about this car, as I am almost to the point I am ready to order my turbo. As one might guess I am looking at remote mount, or something close too.

I know it is not the first time that car has been posted on here, I hope the original poster can chime in, just trying to get ideas.

If i remember correctly the pics of that car were taken by someone who saw that car, and not the owner of the car

Yeah I know the person who originally posted the picts didn't own it, but I was thinking he knew a little about it, just curious and looking for ideas and suggestions.
