Topgunz - air to air upgrade

JWillis72 · 12-29-2016, 07:19 PM

When we all started talking about this it seemed so easy that I decided to do it on my own, I was clearly out of my mind! Topgunz made this so simple that I wonder how many people understand it! I'm glad to see others appreciate what he has done to bring this kit to the Z community.

I know right. That's how You end up with this shitt.

Not to mention the multiple intake filters and bypass valves I've been through.

Grab box special!!! There's hundreds of dollars worth of couplers, pipes, filters, clamps, etc... In here. I'll let it all go for $75 plus s/h.

That's a never used hks pod filter sitting on top alone. I'll throw in a set of oem pistons and rods with 1000 miles on them and a used south bend stage 3 disk for free...lol. I have too much stuff.

U can use the stock overflow bottle with the air to air kit??? How "covered" are the pcv and check valve? I got the admintuning oil catch can and coolant reservoir. Pic for reference.

your crash bar will not fit. It may go on with some 2 inch spacers. i havent had time to take bumper back off and play with it.. Bumper went back on perfectly. Some had mention the fast int tow bar. Im just not spending $450 dollars on it. That will be my next project when i install engine oil cooler.

My shop trimmed the engine side of the aluminium crash bar a few mm's in so it's recessed a bit, then seam welded along the length of the trimmed section to get crash bars strength back. This gives a (better) gap between the A to A intercooler and the crash bar to also give some clearance in a frontal accident

Does anyone with the kit experience slight vibrations on initial start up?
