Using an 88+ turbo or 3.0 V6 cable and bracket should clear a 90 no problem.

If you're not using a kickdown cable you can slice a bit off the throttle bracket to clear the 90

Thanks for the info guys!

Guess I'll test fit it and see what I come up with.

[JohnnyIroc]

sorry nothing has come with mine yet, on an l body in one spot a have an inch of clearance from the firewall. so its going to be tough to decide where to put vaccum ports.
i want to get the car up and going so i think this will be a project for later in the year

[wheming]

I made it as far as glass beading mine today in preparation for paint...

Sorry I'm so slow. Hope to have mine installed on Mini in the next month or so.

[Johnny]

I installed mine today. Will get photos after the throttle body is on tomorrow.

[Johnny]

While in progress....

Looks to be the same way I did it - tapping on the back and using street ell's.
No more ugly vacuum block!

[Johnny]

Well I have one on the rear. I will change that "someday".
Hard to find non-brass fittings.

Johnny you might want to break off that pipe worm before you button things up.
At a later time if that piece of thread shaving breaks off, it'll end up in a cylinder.

[Johnny]

I see that there... teflon tape will hurt something?

[Punish'nRice]

Looks good. Thanks for posting the pics. Who's fuel rail do you have?

[Johnny]

Got it from TurbosUnleashed.

Oh... it looked like a piece of aluminum from drilling or threading.

[JohnnyIroc]

is this on your consouler johnny?

[Johnny]

Yes it is the Consulier.
Got the throttle body gasket today so installed it.
The throttle cable bracket is for an auto, and do not need that part so
cut off the too long part so it would fit with my 90 degree silicone elbow.
See photo F for bracket too long....photo C for the photo with the bracket cut to fit.

But as you can see, now the air box is in the way. (photo D)

Also an issue on my car ....(photo E) this set up makes the need to extend the throttle body plugs.

Only thing I am not sure of is how to deal with the air filter.

[lengel]

Wow looks good Johnny! Looks like two bends welded together should get you over to the air box.

Nice work!

Roof scoop!

Roof scoop!

Always did like this idea, kinda F1-ish...

Scoop to a basic panel style K&N, might not be too hard to fab up, especially if you could use an existing scoop from the MR2 or Fieros, no idea on cost though...

find a 1990 8v turbo airbox to use instead.

87-89 airbox




90+ airbox




That is if you want to run a factory style airbox. The 90 setup allows you to run a straight pipe to from the i/c to the TB without necking down to go through the airbox. It also has inlets and outlets that have the same area as a 3.5" diameter pipe so it flows more air. Sounds like you put a big cone filter on the car with this setup.
