ROGUE TROOPER Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Is there any obvious problems if I reverse my plenum? The reason is that I intent to fit a series 3 bulk head complete with heater matrix etc and at the moment my AFM is in the inner wing! (also space that side is limited) Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgie Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 If it's only the AFM that's causing the problem then can you not just extend the connecting pipe between AFM & the plenum which would allow more flexablilty in where the AFM was situated? I can't see there would be any problems in turing the plenum through 180 degrees. It would mean finding some way of getting the thottle cable to run right round the engine onto, what would be, the front of the plenum, you may have to extend the wiring for some of the sensors and the fuel pipe upto the cold start injector. But theres nothing really problematic as far as I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 You dont want to lengthen the pipe between the AFM and the plenium casue it does all sorts of strange things to the running. Its ok to shorten them however. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Assuming it's a 3.5 then you need to extend the throttle pot wires, the 9th injector, and probably the AFM wires too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
