need4speed Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Could someone that has a fuel injected V8 please post some pics of the air-cleaner setup. Looking at the parts book it only shows the setup for carb'd models. Does the efi use the big air bin for example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need4speed Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Thanks for those. Now all i need is to find part numbers. I only seem to be able to find part numbers for the carb'd v8's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need4speed Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 What did you do regarding the AFM? Ive just noticed that they are £eeek!! Have you binned it like Nige did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuck Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Yep. Running Megasquirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Did you use a fabricated pipe in place of the AFM. Im going to MS as well. Gradually getting the parts needed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroanaconda Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Think this is what you're on about? Nige's new adaptor piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Ah now that looks interesting. Do you have any more details on it? Ive looked at his website but cant see anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zardos Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 My V8 defender uses a slightly modified Range Rover classic item NTC4408, the trump has been shortened but as input is on the opposite end to the output and AFM connects directly to it, it can be mounted more towards the passenger side. I will take some pics if you want when it is not raining. As for my other MegaSquirt'd V8 I used a generic air filter http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1e64a770cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Tis not on me website yet as I have only just got the prototypes sorted (have about 5 of these). Also doing one that doesn't use the AFM end, its again the same overall length, Bung in centre and a "Ring" Tigged around each end to ensure hoses stay on, I have to take a pic of this flavour one shortly so will post that up too With around 70 bits of tube and plates and rings to weld up, I'll be having a huge TIG Practise session Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Oh,and in answer to your Question the BEST Air Filter V8 assembly for sheer size (ITS BIG !) is a 1980s genuine V8 90 Airbox They turn up and can be quite cheap Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 On the Right is the "Unused" chunk of the AFM, middle is the MS Replacement Unit plus the "Used" bit of the AFM This means the replacement is a direct swap for the AFM unit, with everything staying in its place. On the far left is a "Flapper" Type AFM Replacement 80mm OD each end, with a Ring Tigged on each end to keep hoses in place and could also be used where maybe the std LR RR Air Filter Housing is being ditched or moved / chopped about I am also thinking of doing '1/2 Size' ones- same OD ID but half the length or possibly less of both versions - for those who wnat small as poss unit to replace AFM etc but for engine bays that are tight etc Hope its of interest Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Eh ?? Ported ?? Nige PS those AFM replacements are now in stock, both types Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I used a Defender 200TDi filter mounted where the heater is. Eberspacher in the back provides the heating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosecon Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Eh ?? Ported ?? "MANIFOLD VACUUM Is obtained from a passage under the throttle blade. Manifold vacuum vacuum is high ( 15-18 in Hg) when the engine is idling and decreases as the throttle is opened. At wide open throttle ( loaded) manifold vacuum is considered to be a zero. PORTED VACUUM Is obtained from a passage just above the closed throttle. At idle, no vacuum is applied this port due to its location. As the throttle is opened, this port is exposed to manifold vacuum, so vacuum at this port begins to increase. Since ported vacuum is actually manifold vacuum applied to a different passage it will also be near zero when wide open throttle.

TheRecklessEngineer Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 As MJ/MS uses vacuum to measure engine load, you'll be wanting manifold vacuum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
