Jabbasport induction kit - fitting troubles..

[freddy_t]

Started fitting my jabba induction kit yesterday and mid way through i encountered a problem.

It appears that the air inlet pipe which is connected to the maf is too short as its not allowing the heatshield to be bolted into place!

Just wondering if there was a piece of silicon hosing that I may require to allow the heat shield to turn and move into position? All that came with it was a jetex filter and jabbas shield.

Has anyone else had difficulty fitting these kits? Any help is always appreciated, thanks
fred.

btw I have spoken to jabba but they couldnt help at the time and dont really want to wait until monday to get it fixed. ta.

i fitted mine and didnt have any problems, mine didnt come with anything else either i cant think why yours would be different not much help lol but i thought id say lol

 

[freddy_t]

Brad, is there anychance you could take rough measurements of your heatshield? as jabba may have supplied the wrong one. thanks fred.

If someone could post a piccy of the unit with all the measurements, etc, i would appreciate it alot.


Cheers Tom

 

[Forbez]

You know measurements of each section, cheers

Heres Pics --

I think they might have sent you the wrong one, i didnt need to buy anything extra, plus my filters are JR

 

[David_smith_909]

this is a old pic, a few things have changed since this but this is what it will look like on yours

 

[Forbez]

Fred can you take the measurements before you fit if possible mate?

 

[freddy_t]

David yours has some silicon hosing! before the maf! Did that come with the kit? Mine obviously didnt, yeh i think JR filters stands for jetex racing, unsure tho?

Yeh i have already fitted it (to an extent) will try and get measurements tonite if i get time. shouldnt take you long to knock one up if your planning on making one.

fred.

thats my forge TIP, i fitted my jabba before i upgraded my TIP, should fit on standard TIP absolutly fine, no trouble at all, mine did

 

[pilsbury]

here's what ours looks like, standard TIP, Jabba induction kit, no measurements but hopefully this might help...

 

[Forbez]

That indeed is what im planning, and it would be a hell of a lot easier if you could give me the measurements than me, trying to mock one up and work it out from that.

Would be v gretful if you could supply the measurements

Cheers Tom

 

[David_smith_909]

if your on about the bit inbetween your maf and your TIP , then its 70mm diameter on a 45 degree bend, not too sure what it is your after the size off?

 

[Forbez]

Dave is that at me??
If so, im looking basically fot the measurements of the metal section, so i can have a go at making my own!

 

[David_smith_909]

aaaaaah i see, thought you were on about something else

il see if i can take some measurements later

 

[Forbez]

Cool, cheers mate, i can then maybe set about making one to see if i see any improvement with it.


If maybe you could draw a diagram and mark out the measurements that would be great!

Cheers Tom

 

[David_smith_909]

Will see what i can do mate

sorry to resurrect an old thread, i have an open filter with jr on the top of it, it also looks like the ones above, but theres no heat shield and its red hot after a drive.

can i buy the heatshield seperate do you know?

thanks
simon

 

[stani540]

you can buy heatshield direct form jabba just email them they quoted me something like 43 plus vat

 

[sparkie1984]

thanks mate! ill get onto it as its getting hot to the touch after a spin so cant be doing it much good surely?
