DuffyMahoney Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Next hurdle is a hidden vacuum log for my ITB. My plans for a billet clamp won’t work with the stock hardware. But a simple cushion clamp should do the trick. Next is welding 3x 1/4 hose barbs onto my 5/8 OD aluminum pipe. It’s been threaded to -6 orb on each end. With the plan to use iac at some point.

DuffyMahoney Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 I think this ITB vacuum balance bar will work and look good. It’s far enough way from the header in this spot as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuffyMahoney Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 I went with clear anodized fuel fittings. I think it gives it a vintage look. My fpr mount works awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuffyMahoney Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 My new current pcv plan. Slightly filtered, oil catched then back into my throttle bodies vac balance log. I will figure out a better filter later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJSZED Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I'm thinking you will probably have to have a small filter on the valve cover like usual. Everything looks great, very envious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuffyMahoney Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 Well the plan works and i finally found time this am to finish it. Balanced vac, pcv, hidden wires. All with vintage SK ITB. Why do I do this to myself!? Gosh I love to tinker. Now to see if she will run again, which the neighbors love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuffyMahoney Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 Finally figured out how to get the vac tube to clear the linkage. Last piece of the linkage puzzle is done IMG_2779.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calZ Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 What did you have to do? It looks like you could trip a bit off the end of the arm and still have good contact with the stop. Any update on reworking your coil bracket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuffyMahoney Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 Final touches on this new R35 coil bracket design. Next is laser cutting for final test fitment. Joseph Monti did a great job with this design, the boot angle was all his idea. Previously the coil boots had a huge curve in them, which we both hated, this splits the difference (22.5 degrees). I also disliked the coil head angle I had originally decided on. This new coil head angle keeps the wiring nice and secured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossman Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Looking good! I have your original one, might have sell it and get this one :). There is more to it than laser cutting, right? The shape appears like it would have to be milled or casted. When do you expect to start selling them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
