Beatiful work. Might be a silly question but are those retaining clips strong enough to oppose induction suction?They say i know fuck nothing, but i know fuck all!Comment

is there a noticeable weight difference compared to sr20?Originally posted by Walt KowalskiComment

Looks spot on, thanks Al! - all systems go to retrieval tomorrow.
Should be fine, the filter is fully framed so basically cant suck through.Originally posted by fat910 View Post
From what i understand 20kgs difference, as to how that was measured (ie, accessories) im not sure - either way its fairly light (which is ultimately why i went VQ30 over 2JZ - good 100kgs lighter in that respect)Originally posted by clutch-monkey View PostComment

Had a quick play around with the plenum this afternoon, smoothed welds and painted wrinkle black... came up looking almost OEM.
Also slipped the driveshaft in, fits absolutely perfectly (with around 10mm slip in the slip joint).Comment

That looks great with the wrinkler black.
I passed you guys, going the other way. as I was heading up the coast yesterday arvo.Comment

Yep, loving the wrinkle blackI own a two and a half litre CommodoreComment

yeah going to continue the theme throughout the rest of the engine bay, no shiny shit - OEM finish, wrinkle black or satin black....
going to sort out a small plastic shroud for the air filter so that will disappear into the engine bay as well.
Al has done a great job fitting it all in, just need to make it all 'disappear' now.Comment
