I have a VT II SS and I was going to do the mod to my airfilter box.
When I opened it up , I found that I have 2 pipes coming out allready.
One is going to the side and one is going to the top into the plastic cover over the grill. Is this standart ?
Maybe am I misunderstanding something ?
Also my MAF pipe is 100mm.
It's a ex nsw police car.
I got the 2.5 inch exhaust system done and need the extra air before I can get the mail order edit-tune done.
Any help ?
Thanks achimw

Nope thats the Stock REALLY RESTRICTIVE POS , i will race down stairs and take a few pic's now.

I think I got it now.
I thought all VT II SS Commodores have the MCAI , but mine has not got it.
I am buying a HSV box with a MCAI .
I understand , that the HSV box has a larger intake , so would I still put a second pipe
on ?
Thanks achimw

had a small Hiccup on sunday will be up soon !

[OLS108]

these are the parts you Need

[OLS108]

this is what it looks like stock

[OLS108]

Remove Top half of air Box , and remove Snorkle type Tube that faces upwards. 2nd pipe is a twisty prick that is quite hard to Remove , i had to Cut mine out then remove it but others have done so without cutting.

[OLS108]

now remove bottm half of air Box and IAT sensor ( VT II and VX I ) and it should look like this.

[OLS108]

Now grab a Nice Big Hole saw and Cut a Hole like so...

[OLS108]

Cut a Hole in the shroud that matches up to the Airbox Hol you cut.
pop in the shroud like so , ( please note yes i realise the car has changed Colour and is Now also an LS2 VZ but what i can i do )

[OLS108]

these are the parts you SHould have removed

[OLS108]

pop airbox Bottom in ( might need some Sqeezing and so on ) once in your all Done.

please note yes i know this is very scratchy but my camera broke so i had to use other peoples pic's ( thus the two colour cars )

any questions kids ?

[AirStrike]

Cheers mate all good. One thing, you never mentioned having to run some pipe between the MCAI and airbox, and how you would seal em up
