shortround's olive levin buildup

[ke_70]

what's the advantage of a hydrolic thrust bearing? reliability?

[shortround]

Hey I'm not sure that it will be more reliable, but pricing up new clutch slave and thrust bearing for the w5x conversion, it was only a little more expensive. And now I have one less moving part I guess

To be honest it looks a little more fragile that I was expecting, but we'll see how it goes!


That looks like a more robust option...

that thrust bearing is pretty sweet

[shortround]

The one I bought or the one I said looks better?

Here is my project for the weekend, preparing an airbox for my Bigport AFM 4AGZE in the build.

The airbox itself is from a Mazda 626 late 80's model and the 4AGZE AFM basically bolts on. I was searching for *ages* to find a suitable airbox to cut up before I came across this one.

[shortround]

Haven't made any more progress on the airbox, but I did move the charcoal canister to make some more room in the bay!

Just read through your whole build thread, nice man! You're out my way too I think.
AAAANNND, I'm stealing this idea Anything to have less clutter in the bay.

[bradae85]

Is a charcoal canister actually needed? Or just for emissions? I removed mine years ago....?

[ke_70]

not really needed, but good to keep if you got one just for legallity reasons.
saves have to reinstall it every defect

[shortround]

Yeah it's legally required, but the weight is neglegable and now its completely out of the way.

I heard it was a $40,000 fine for messing around with emissions components..
I guess it depends on the cop on the day as to what's legal and what's not.
