i have seen this being done on a vl and a few other cars i was thinking of moving the afm to the other side as in near the throttle body so i can keep the mouth of the turbo the same size all the way through to the air pod or even at the drags not even have a air pod ???

please help with this as im told it might break under the pressure ????

i think you are talking about blowthru maf right?

if so yes you can do it and it will be fine, however you may find that you blow the top off of the maf due to pressure, nothing a bit of proper silicone cant fix.

make sure you have a quality filter adaptor for the maf as a plastic one probably will not seal properly and leak.

yer well im putting the afm on the throttle side and ill be running around 20 psi ill try it with a standard one first and if it blows well upgrade to z32 afm i might prepare for it popping off im using all good quality stuff so thats not a problem

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
