Topgunz - air to air upgrade

Fitting the A2A kit onto a HR motor with the stillen kit. I assume the charger mounting bracket from stillen would still be the same on both VHR and HR

Did this end up working? I've got a bit of fuel smell as well trying to track it down will check this point first

It did... then the gas smell started coming back. One morning I was driving to work and car shut off. Fuel hose popped off ethanol sensor. Improper clamp (screw type not spring) for expansion/contraction with cold temps is what I blame. But then I had a leak at my fuel pressure gauge as well (kinda a scary one like one drip/second). So I bought a 3/8SAE female quick connect to 6an male for the ethanol sensor, PTFE line to 6an-3/8NPT at fuel gauge. Will use yellow teflon at fitting. That should fully do it, the return fuel line looks to be all PTFE lined

OK, what did you all do about the lack of clearance between the straight coolant hose nipple on the front throttle body & the 90* silicon (rear) Y tube connector?? Depending on how I wiggle the Y tube, I have about 1/4" to 3/8" (absolute max) clearance from the end of the nipple to the silicon connector. No way to get a hose on that.

I havent heard of this issue. However, those tubes bend like butter and it would not hurt them to move them around.

Also, there is a lot of information out there on deleting the throttle body coolant all together. That is what I did.

Mine are gone too. I was going to mention that and then I saw he lived in PA. We don’t worry about freezing temps in Texas, so no reason to run the coolant thru the TBs.

Thanks guys. I rarely, if ever, drive the car in freezing temps, so I think I'll go ahead & bypass them. No sense adding any unnecessary heat to the incoming air, anyway!

Just make sure you take a look on how to do it or you will have coolant spraying out at a rapid pace.

Yup and it’s a pita to get a rubber fitting on the backside between the block and the firewall.

Edit - the rubber cap is difficult but the zip tie to hold it on is the real pita.

So I took a slightly different route. I simply used the existing hose (C) from the back of the engine & rotated it from the right side of the engine to the left side & connected it to the return nipple on the hard heater line (E). Alternatively, I was going to plug both nipples, but this has fewer points of potential failure. PLUS - I didn't have to mess w/ getting a clamp on that nipple between the block & the firewall!
