Subject: Re: a o Anyone put in the a o engineering forced air induction system, need advice on cutting? by turbotim23 on 2010/3/20 16:58:14 LD85 I gave up on finding anyone who messed with this system. I have figured some of it out. I cut the top sheet metal apx 2" down between hood hinges,just the top straight bar. I haven't touched the v bar below it yet that has the wire you talked about. I also notched the radiator cover 1 1/2" on bottom in center, so AO air cleaner lid will sit flush. I also cut licence plate hole open to bumper reinforcement but haven't cut reinforcement hole yet. I was hoping not to have to cut the v bar but after getting cleaner lid to sit flush I see I'm going to have to completely cut sheet metal out between hood hinges. I was told by Tabor corvette parts that they tore a corvette apart for parts with a AO eng. ram air kit on it. It had a lot of cracks around the 5" hole in plastic bumper reinforcement. Have you had any probem in that area? They put metal around the 5" hole and fiberglassed around it in a later car they put the AO eng. ram air kit in. thanks Tim |
