4age Ae71 Help Needed

[mozzy]

ok guys I'm half way through my 4age ae71 convertion and i have ran into a few problems i have realised the throttle cable is way to short and i need some sort of flexi radiator hose..

 

what sort of throttle cable do i need and what do i do about the radiator hose...

 

thanks guys

 

i have the motor and box all bolted up all i have left is the wiring and exhaust and some sort of surge tank set up for the efi..

 

and the obvious radiator hose ect

ghetto mods style: go to wrecker and find a really long throttle cable and wrap it round something until you get the right length

 

properly: buy a throttle cable kit from EFI hardware or somewhere similar

 

 

go to a car parts shop and ask to look through their radiator hose section.

brilliant post JC807. you made it all so simple :yes:

 

mozzy, with the radiator hose, if you can't find one at a parts shop that will do the trick, a good idea can be to get a collection of hoses, and work out if you can just join 2 sections (maybe more...but i doubt it) together, to get the right combination of bends. if this is gonna work, then just get a peice of steel tube and slide the radiator hoses on and clamp them on. hey presto, custom radiator hose :)

 

thats what i have for my 1g ke70 bottom hose.

 

you can also buy the flexi shit for like 50 bucks for 600mm or however long it is. and in reality, its shit ( i took mine back and got rad hose and some other stuff with the money) they kink easy, and are just in general shit...plus it makes you look dodgy :D

 

I'm sure you will find a hose that will suit.

it may pay to knock up a mock so you can take it in and go...i want one like this. they will usually go, have a look son.

they leave you alone and you fill your pockets with what you can whilst looking at hoses ;)

 

cheers, andrew

yeh i made a tamplate out of metal coat hanger and took that in and got exatctly what i needed,

 

as for the throttle cable i have been told to try a sprinter one, i can't see why it wouldnt work

 

i might just take the old one in and compair it,

 

thanks guys
