True Classic
Added heat shielding for the AC lines
Coil (-) connection. Red-White, since that's what Volvo uses. Blue is usually (+), glad I checked what Nissan uses for (-)
Drilled (9/16") & tapped the intake for 3/8" NPT fitting
Made a support plate for the 3517886 IACV. No room for a bolt to come through the plate from above, so I welded a nut on the backside & put in a short stud to retain the IACV bracket. Re-tapped the vacuum port for the charcoal canister to 1/8" NPT & plugged it. The IACV hose passes right over it
Moved charcoal canister vacuum port to rear of plenum, using quick connect with nitrile line
With the IACV placement sorted, I wired the 3 pole connection
and the 2 pole for the ECT, and the ground connections on intake
CSV placement in TB
to get a clean run on the CSV feed hose, I'm going to flip the CSV. Converting to barb fitting. I have 3 different Volvo CSV - this one has an offset connector compared to the one above
Made the block off plate for the B.C.D.D, with 3/8" NPT port for the valve cover vent. Used the B.C.D.D base gasket as the template for the mount holes
shaped somewhat, brass elbow fitted. Used HondaBond to seal plate.
B.C.D.D port re-drilled to match the greater breather vent ID above
Breather vent elbow hose fitted below will clear the TPS once reinstalled. Have to figure out a clean way to unify the valve cover port hose with this
78 280Z AAV & Breather vent hose layout for ref.
