Title: Re: extras found Post by: poupas on August 01, 2004, 01:43:07 pm The manifolds arent cracked? If not, I will take them.
Andrew Title: Re: extras found Post by: Boy-z on August 01, 2004, 08:41:20 pm The manifolds are not cracked they are fine
Title: Re: extras found Post by: poupas on August 01, 2004, 11:31:21 pm I will take the manifolds. If you are chucking everything else out and nobody else wants it, I will take it. I just bought a non running SE and havent had time to diagnose the problems yet, so who knows what may come in handy. I can pick it up either tomorrow night or tuesday night. PM the directions for pick up. I live close to St. Laurent.
Thanks Andrew Title: Re: extras found Post by: poupas on August 01, 2004, 11:35:10 pm Oh, I should have checked your location first. You are in Cape Breton? I always assume people on this forum live in Ottawa. The manifolds would still be good, what do you think it would cost to ship?
Thanks Andrew Title: Re: extras found Post by: Boy-z on August 03, 2004, 09:30:27 am No Andrew I live in Barrhaven I am from Cape Breton Orginally and yes you can have it all if you want to pick it up. I am on 15 Woodpark Way Just in behind FallowField and Woodrofe my number is 823-6260 or cell 7957101 call me first cause if I go out I will leave them out for you.
Title: Re: extras found Post by: poupas on August 05, 2004, 02:13:23 pm Thanks BOY-Z. I managed to pick them up last night. Greatly appreciated.
Andrew Title: Re: extras found Post by: Boy-z on August 05, 2004, 11:01:33 pm No Problem .
Title: Re: extras found Post by: GoFast88 on August 06, 2004, 07:53:50 am I am still trying to figure a way to modify the air filter canister for my 3.8. It will require a little more thought.
Title: Re: extras found Post by: aaron88 on August 06, 2004, 11:05:34 am I'm working on my car tonight. If you come over we can work something out for you.
Aaron . Title: Re: extras found Post by: fiero308 on August 06, 2004, 11:02:38 pm Brian or Aaron;
did you see any of Darth Fiero's 3.4 dohc conversion thread on PFF? I know that wouldn't ordinarily interest you but he did a nice job of converting the stock air cannister for the 3.4; you may want to take a look. It is near the end of the thread. Very simple and good idea. in case that helps. gp Title: Re: extras found Post by: aaron88 on August 07, 2004, 02:23:44 am I'll check it out.
Aaron . Title: Re: extras found Post by: aaron88 on August 07, 2004, 02:33:57 am Not enough air flow.
Aaron . Title: Re: extras found Post by: 2ML67 on August 07, 2004, 09:22:36 am Problem is you need to maintain at least 3.5 to 4 inch diameter all the way. The factory box in the wheel well is too restrictive so best to feed line into that area and use a good water proof filter. Getting that diameter a hose into the wheel well isn't that easy as fuel filler line is in the way so best is to go over it and make a new hole and feed straight down. Working on that now but hard to find flexible 4 inch diameter hose. Dan
Title: Re: extras found Post by: FieroBUZZ on August 07, 2004, 09:43:44 am Hey, junkyard man! Try a yard with some buses or highway tractors in it. The engine compartments have lots of big aluminum piping ans odd shaped bendy rubber connectors.
Ed's near Arnprior has a few trucks and even a DC 3 and part of a jet. Title: Re: extras found Post by: fiero308 on August 07, 2004, 11:07:41 am well it is nice to be able to use a really large dia tube etc, but ONLY if it doesn't need a 'kink' somewhere, or have to make a 90 deg bend etc. If it does, any advantage is most likely lost.
The modified fiero airbox that Darth used on a 3.4 might not be as undersized as you think, ESPECIALLY if it means the tube to the TB will be quite straight (will it? I don't know). And for air VOLUME issue, you might consider the fact that the 3.4 probably flows as much air volume as a 3800 - it redlines (stock) at 7000. I am guessing the 3800 redline around 6K somewhere? You can think about how much air an engine will flow at redline in terms of its displacement times the rpm. So for a simple volumetric comparison, the 3.4 x 7000 rpm relates to 23800 "UNITS" of airflow. The 3.8 x 6000 rpm would be 22800 on the same scale; so they are in the same ball park. And if it avoids ANY kind of elbow or kink, that is a very significant bonus. Just a thought; for what it is worth. If you don't like that, I have a hipo 5.0 liter mustang airbox that has a 3.5" dia outlet to the TB. Again, compare that volumetrically to the 3800 and maybe you are making life a bit difficult for yourself?......... ::) It is another 32% larger than the 3800.... Pic attached. |
