V2 intake

[TRiv]

There is a v2 intake on ebay, was wondering, does it look complete? Time to upgrade the 85 Riviera t-type to 87 spec or maybe this?

That looks like everything the kit came with. All of the main parts are there, and the price isnt bad either. Mond you, when he says it moves the turbo from the stock location, that is incorrect. It moves the throttlebody not the turbo. But its a great piece for seat in the pants performance. Enjoy!

Thanks for the input, now to look at the intake pictures, and Riviera hood clearance and try to guesstimate if the intake and especially throttle body will clear. Probably will have to consider the position of the turbo mounting as well as the Riv is different from the GN position (hangs off back of engine). That could be the only problem as the Riv engine is about 2" right of center in bay and gets close to heater/AC box, because of the TH325-4l trans.

It looks like he has the wire extenders. The one thing I don't see is the waterpump to thermostat hose. It is a GM hose that looks like a S. You need that hose. I'm sure you could get one from GM but who knows the application.
Also I don't know if anyone else had this problem but my intake leaked at the first boss on the passenger side. I had it welded then coated.
I would highly sugget buying this intake. It is a highly wanted item. I have had many ppl asking if I would sell mine. There is no way in h*ll I'm selling mine. I love it.

How much of a difference would this make over my stock setup with my spearco intercooler?????

Just wondering the overall differences?

What are differences with the intakes and TBs???

Horsepower/Torque #'s

TIA

I think the sperco with the intake would work real nice. The intake flows almost double over the stocker.

I would have to do some custom pipes to run that intake and
spearco, or try using the ones I have........what are all the plus to this system.......

TB is relocated, what are the benefits of that......I basically dont know nothing about this system but I am interested what it could do for my GN.

The benifts with a front mount throttle body are better throttle resonse. Also if you want to add alky injection its easier and cheaper. You also get a neat sound when you slam the throttle shut. The biggest benift of the turbomotion setup is the intake. It is nicely ported and flows very well. It flows around 230 cfm per runner. Guess what champion GN1's flow, 230 cfm per runner. I think its a perfect match. Also with the sperco if you have room you could put a 90 degree bent at the i/c and run the pipes under the radiator like many of the front mounts. Or if you like to hack and cut. Go around the radiator. Or sell the sperco for 800 and get a ford f/m.
Alst the turbomotion setup just cleans up the engine bay. I looks nice and performs nice.

You got a pic of you engine bay before your whole project started? I remember seeing once? Would like to see how she looks. What about the up and down pipes and all that stuff convert to 86/87? I am lost............

Hello guys. The kit for sale is mine. I just passed it over to my bro to sell, he knows nothing about cars but he has a great ebay handle. I tried writing him a description but I guess he hacked it a little.
TV6 is correct, the kit moves the throttle body, not the turbo. The kit makes your hotair car similar to the 86-87 by intercooling the charged air with a modified 86-87 IC. You will have to switch to electric fans with the kit most likely.
I purchased the kit from another board member last summer and it is just as I bought it from him. I put everything in one of the pics. This kit real pretty.

And to make things better, I'm gonna throw in an almost brand new stainless steel 2 1/2" up-pipe from "GNT Performance" to the winner, if the highest bidder happens to be a board member at least as of today.
If you guys got any questions, feel free to email me.

turbowrench: Im selling because I've had a huge drop in work for some reason since sept 11 2001. It got me realizing I was spending too much on toys.
I had about $10,000 in my 85 T Type engine compartment alone and still hadnt installed the kit.
I still have other stuff, KB fuel reg., 009's, KB fuel pump, and some other things.
6 to go: thats exactly what I meant by my electric fan statement.
