Thanks, i'll hunt around the net for em.

well i'm half way there

AE101ZE in stock. most of the oil is on the outside of the engine but it ran sweet dead cold this morning with no smoke and a niceish idle so i'm happy with that. loom is already sorted and whilst tatty is very simple which is favourable (5 external wires to hookup)

has a big pulley and a interesting J pipe cooler bypass pipe :lol: need to get the supercharger outlet modded to suit RWD and moreso to meet up with a cooler. intake cast pipe needs spacing up to clear the TPS but i'm switching to Big port throttle straight away so that does away with that concern.

needs some gaskets and those fiddly bits sorted and its ready for a good clean up. good news is i've found i can remove prety much all the extra vacuum hoses and just run one between MAP, inlet mani, ABV and fuel reg

not really any input to this thread just ramblings

as a side note at least i can now dummy fit and toy with cooler and radiator positioning

[biggo]

your not doing the ABV mod?

i reccomend it before everything gets "cluttered" hehehe, we all know how gzes make a mess.

[Gilly]

ABV mod is done, still needs one vacuum line to it though doesn't it? just need to ditch the solenoids?

i thought it still needed one connected as it uses the vacuum signal to dump boost on gear changes etc, pardon my ignorance if it doesn't i have done little research into the ABV and its purpose.

this setup has about 4,000 vacuum lines but as i pulled it all apart this morning i found all to be blocked off :lol:

if the ABV is completely disabled does it need to remain in place? could one theoritically remove it all together or is it used for another purpose other than a boost restrictor.

i assume it has another purpose everyone leaves it on the engine rather than just removing it completely and blanking the hole it would leave behind if removed.

also whats is the solenoid that sits on top of the charger? it has a vacum line to one end of the charger and another to the opposite end. i should get a pic, looks weird and i can't work out for the life of me what it does

[slide86]

i have just removed my ABV all together and made custom inlet and outlets for the s/c.

i don't think it will be a drama to just remove it and blank the hole over

[Gilly]

sweet i'll do that

another 300grams saved :lol:

[gaz20v]

any chances of prics of peoples alternator setups? bought an ae92 bracket and need ideas for tensioner setups.

[Nikkojoe]

if you are lazy and you have stock sway bars, you can use the standard ac/alternator bracket. The only thing is you need the compressor to be bolted on so the belt can be tensioned

[biggo]

For thos who think AFM/Dizzy Gzes are inferior, think again.

Ive had a few problems with mine, nothing major however it kept wanting to run stupidly lean. So i got drunk one night and my mate gave me an AFM adjuster (like a cheap AFC, only....not) 5mins after i had it in and hoohay i have stuffed plugs hehehe.

Having said that, i think Nikko runs an AFM Gze but with a ae101 loom. Anything can be done if you make it work

[callum1]

i figured this is a good place to post this.

how the crap do i get off the pulley wheel. i assume its some sort of special tool. not just the big bolt in the middle.
I'm goin turbo, so yea getting rid of the nevo.
