attachin walky parts

[VLACS]

how does the walkinshaw bonnet scoop go onto the bonnet. and how does the spoiler attach. actaully. how do all the parts go on. except the bumpers

Hey mate

I'd say from experience (the VH anyhow) drill some holes to match the ones already in the skirts (front, sides and rear) and screw them up.. Scoop you'd cut a hole in the bonnet, maybe it screws on (??????) no idea about the spoiler

[VLACS]

i know the scoop has a large to ###in massive hole in teh bonnet so yeh id say it involves some cutting. any one else know
cheers juzza

the boot spoiler has threaded holes on the underside of the fibreglass part. you drill out the boot lid and put bolts through. seal and jobs done.

bonnet works the same way. there doesnt have to be a hole in the bonnet. actually you only need a hole if it is going to have any induction purpose. i suggest looking it up you might find some pics of how the walky induction worked...

[VS Omega]

But you'd want to have it connected for induction, otherwise it would just be a waste (like the bloody VZs with those side vents to make it look pretty)

[vlv8vic]

depends on how much you want. there is such thing as too much. keep in mind those indactions were made for the walkingshaw 5ltr.

the walkinshaw had the twin throttlebody manifold which was connected to its airbox almost directly. (airbox sits under bthe scoop) Unless you have twin throttlebodies it is purely there for looks I'm afraid. (unless you want to replumb you're intake and move the AFM etc.)

[vlv8vic]

.... maybe it was an aftermarket exercise where they put them up the back of the bay, ducted via the scoop.

[ucwepn]

all the walkinshaws I have seen are plumbed this way (with the airbox next to the twin throttlebodies under the scoop) Non VL group A SS models fitted with twin throttlebodies would be required by the ADR's to have they're intakes plumbed to the the standard airbox location (as is my understanding)

[VLACS]

i plan to put an ls2 in.... hole or not. or cna i have no hole now and then get one later?

[ucwepn]

I think you don't need a hole it may not be pracitcal with the LS2 anyway, sounds like a wickid project man just awesome,just make sure everything fits under the VL 's bonnet and you'll be laughin.

[VLACS]

a hole won be practica with and ls2??

[ucwepn]

yep coz depending on which way the vents face in those bonnet scoops you may just create extra drag, but having said that it would be a good thing to get extra air in there, and if they face backwards get the hot air out as well, are you gonna use individual throttle bodies? that would be madness on wheels have you seen the calais with LS1 and walky kit in street commodores? its f#cken off its head, go for it!!

[VLACS]

will do. cheers cuz

[vlv8vic]

your seriousely doing an Ls2 conversion? looking forward to that one.....
