AE86 GTV-Multipoint Cage, Beams, AP Brakes & Brides

[Conrad]

Next up something for the engine, I had my eye on one these for a while, this is a proven part on a beams race engine down in Auz and has been refined over the last two years and gives incredible power gains over open throttle bodies.

Here is the base plate that needs drilling for the throttle bodies and trumpets.



and sat together...





however.... a couple of issues

Firstly, the welded in strut brace on the inlet side of the engine will have to be removed, this is a total PITA as its welded and painted but needs must, it even fouls the trumpet on the ITB nearest the bulkhead let alone the new airbox. I will cut it off and look at how we can engineer something in its place.

Secondly, the quality of the airbox is somewhat lacking, the lid fit to the base plate is good for 90% of the way round but there is a gap approaching the intake funnel

I am to fit some clips to get the lid in the correct place then cut the box and do a bit of glass fibre work to get a perfect fit, it will need painting after this (needed it anyway as its scratched to hell as it came :rolleyes Definately a function over form part but it will be 100% before it goes on my car!!!
