Another mk1 F4R conversion.

Its not the fact it fouls the bonnet due to the length, its purely the angle the engine is tilted at which is annoying. I could probably dial a lot of it out with an adjustable solid dogbone mount but they are poo. I shall do some tinkering over the weekend

As it stands...

You can see the bonnet deforms the air filter slighty, no bother though.





Shiny :D








Just waiting for this to arrive..


Then its play ball

Nuts holding the trumpets inside the plenum... I think that's not a good idea. Are they at least secured with some loctite. You would be amazed how things get loose because of vibration.

^^^^^^^ In full agreement with this, well spotted. Looks awesome though mate.

Studs are threadlocked, the nuts are nyloc.

[robi1000]

Well... You've been warned!

[Laine_16v]

Ill loctite the nuts on too as its ironic i killed my last engine because those exact bolts rattled loose, expensive mistake.

Would of thought you'd of found another way to mount it? Perhaps individdual filters?

Mount what? inidivdual filters compromise performance noticeably, sausage filter is the only wayto go imo.

I dunno mate I just don't want the same thing to happen to you again :(
