I want to use the GTO Vararam setup on my 70 chevelle. QUEST4-10S has already done this in this post:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...w-vararam.html

I have emailed him but need to order this ASAP.
What size/length is that flexible hose and where can i get it from? I have looked in Summit for a 3.5 in flex hose and cant find one. Anyone have any input on this as i want to order this now.

thanks

 

that looks like a stock fbody bellow

thanks for sharing, never seen that...wonder how it flows and how the IATs are

 

+1 on the Bellow.. send me $5 postage and I'll send you one..LOL.

Yeah. I would question the IAT reading being right behind/above the Radiator.. maybe put something to block the heat. Doesn't seem to be the best place for it..

I really just hate the 90* elbow on mine and it reads 10-15* over ambient and sometimes hotter in summer.

 

this is good to know thunder as i was going to just make a quick one up out of Spectre parts.

 

bczee, if you are for real msg me your paypal info and and i will send it to you now. I need this by Thursday. Ill pay for express shipping if need be.

 

If you want it, we can work it out. But lets make sure it is what you need.. from the picture, it does look like a standard 4th Gen F-body bellow.. this would make it a 4" on the Throttle body side and 3 1/2" on the other side (usually to the MAF). So, measure your TB opening and either the MAF or Air Filter Flange. If they are the correct size. .let me know.. and I can check USPS shipping fee.. He is using a LS3.. not sure what the TB opening size would be.. anyone ?

I am sure many of the Local JY would have many just laying around or some guys who have parted out cars or have updated there cars with aftermarket CAI would have one. Check with your local guys also!

But let me know if you want the one that I have..

Also.. I took a closer look a the picture. He does have a nice heat shield setup.. so..as long as he is getting good air flow.. it might work out for the IAT readings..

i have a LS3 intake as well with a Nick Williams Throttle Body. I believe he is using a insert if the TB side is 4 inch. The Kit for the Vararam GTO comes with it. So these measurements of yours check out. Let me know about payment I will get it to you the instant you send me the info.

 

I have PM' you..

But, in my opinon, this is the only Correct CAI for a Cowl Induction Chevelle..

yes bczee i have seen that before. Is that yours? If so you need to send it to me ASAP! Or send me all the parts you used. I think i found the forum where it listed all the tubes but they were all discontinued. Whoever it is said they were going to make one out of aluminum. OK so send that one to me NOW! I PAY YOU!

 

Haha.. yeah. it is a one of a kind.. one day I will make another one out of aluminum. It took some time to fab it up. but as usual.. once you do one. the second one is a lot easier.. LOL

It is just I do not have access to the shop anymore..

 

Bczee is the part number 15986080? if so I got one from my you pull it yard from a 96 Tahoe I think.

 

Who makes that cai for cowl induction hoods?

 

I refreshed the thread and see its a custom piece. Looks awesome!

 

The F-Body (98-02) only has these numbers. I don't think they are part numbers. but anything you find should work as long as the inlet/outlet are the correct size and it is the correct lenght.

IAGXP.. yeah.. only one manufactor that has ever produced it.. and he is to lazy to make one for anyone else.. (sorry, that would be me LOL) ...

nice build !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeh I got the tube and it is different, the one you sent me works perfectly . Thanks soo much!

 

Great.. looking forward to seeing what you come up with...

Sorry, been finishing up some other odds and ends on my build. Got it fired up for the first time on Thursday.

Heres the Vararam:

You must either cut off the 90 degree part or bend it flat by heating it:



The unit sits like this:


I didnt take a pic of it with the filter, but you can use your imaginations until i get one up.

 

Looks like it is coming together great. .looking forward to a picture of the completed system !
