I just cut the pipe on the standard fitting and flared it so a tub nut and sleeve can be used to attach to AN lines. Cost a couple of dollars for the flare nut and sleeve.

I have some of the billet adaptors to fit and use with AN fittings, just got to get around to fitting. They look cool (all billet does) and I am sure do the same thing anyway.

Good find from Summit for a kit.

How many cross ram intakes to suit square port heads are out there? Anyone done any research on this?

[DaveW]

Tow,

Not many,
Jenvey,
TWM,
Borla,
Harrop,
Morrison Oz,
Ozmo,
and my favourite Kinsler,
Harrop also had a beautiful Carbon Fibre unit fitted to a couple of HSV 427 Monaros, but they wont make them any-more.

There may be others, but thats about all i can remember.
Dave

**Edit, just had a look, seems Borla now own TWM as well.

Here's what I have done for my oil pressure sender. I removed the factory one and decided to use the same location. The sender is 1/8 NPT of course, and the factory location is M16. I contemplated just using adapters but the sender doesn't really fit in there (hits intake manifold). A right-angle adapter would help but it would get quite long M16 -> AN6 -> AN4 -> NPT and might snap with vibration, so I put in a short piece of -4 hose and the sender is mounted to a convenient bracket with a large P-clip.

The piping is M16/AN6 adapter, AN6/4 reducer, AN4 hose, AN4/NPT right-angle.





Also the blue thingo is a silicon end-piece that I got off ebay to plug what is normally for the brake booster (I'm not running a booster). I have 9 more of these end-pieces, if anyone wants one just shout.

Ben, I am pretty sure you will need to keep the original operating as well, From memory the ECU reads from it (but I may be wrong in saying that)

[Modena]

I checked that with sideshow, he reckons it's not required. (water temp is required).

[Zedn]

My ECU doesn't use it.

Modena you should have sung out you needed a cap. I could have sent you the one of mine. I'm guessing are not expensive though.

[Modena]

thanks zedn, yeah it was only a couple of bucks for 10

[Gav]

I would keep the original one if possible,
At the very least it makes it possible to data log through you OBDII port.
Just a thought...

Mate, are you normal stupid, or a special kind of stupid?

All Cobra owners I have met are not like your rice boys, we don't have the attention span of a 6 month old puppy.
We don't need to see a gauge bounce around like Steady Eddie playing with a Yoyo.

I for one am very happy if the only gauges in my car that move are the tacho and the speedo.

The reason for running a gauge is so you know when it has NO oil pressure.

Its not there to watch the needle move from one side to the other...... o_O



I do love your skills and knowledge though on electrical stuff and the assistance you give.

Ohhh.... bugger it! Its still funny

In a way I tend to agree. However, you should add a bloody big red warning light. Let's face it; you only check the oil pressure when you first start up after a rebuild or after you hear the rattle coming from the big ends, i.e. too late.

[sideshow]

What the fk u on about box head
I wasn't bagging out anyone just that they did have low oil pressure and had oil problems
On the first series of ls1s
Or is it u just fking like to comment on every fking post so u have the fking highest post count than anyone in the fking world so u butt your dick head in every fking conversation

U must be so tense and up tight
Like a nun who hasn't had cock for 30 years

Yes well, that's another one for my ignore list . That's two now.

I enjoy spirited debate on this forum and clever light-hearted banter always makes me smile.

I realise there was some mild provocation in this case but surely not sufficient to prompt such a foul and vitriolic response.

Sideshow, as Box himself said, you are no doubt highly skilled in the work you do and you have proven to be a reliable source of information to members seeking assistance with electrical concerns, but mate you lost me with your last outburst. Maybe you were having a bad day and this post was out of character, I don't know, but perhaps a cooling down period before hitting the submit button would have been advisable. This is a pretty conservative site where others' opinions are respected, and to my mind there's no place here for reprehensible posts like your last one.

[Zedn]

I took sideshows initial post as a joke, didn't look like it was intended to have a go at anyone. Looked like box head was the one having a bad day. Is this all just a misunderstanding?

Sideshow is one of the small number of people on here I wouldn't block as he provides great advise. I should have listened to him on my wiring loom.

[sideshow]

I was the one who made the joke so y don't u have a go
at the stuck up stick my head into everyone's business racist prick

lucky I'm not black or Asian

just cause I don't own a cobra and my **** doesn't stink
I'm always to blame and the others can say what ever they want
makes me laugh and trust me most others I know think the same
