VX Air Box Shared with Trooper or Rodeo?

[Ldub]

I would hate to drive that far with a gaping hole in the air box

Ummmmm...Mav?...

Why did God invent duct tape?...

Lol... I know, I know Dub. But I have this paranoia that it would get sucked into the intake somehow and ka-boom! I am not ready for an engine swap just yet.

I know it's not that serious, but in this case it's easy enough to pick up one from the yard on my way home and just get it off my to-do list.

Don't know if you picked up the one at the yard yet, but here's one on ebay from a yard in KY, I bought the roof rack from them last year, very decent to deal with, will negotiate.

Yep I picked it up from them yesterday, cleaned it out last night, and am planning to reinstall it tonight. Appreciate the recommendation though Sue!

Does that one still have the fang covers as in the pics?

Seem to remember a few requests for them lately...

[vt_maverick]

Sorry for the confusion, when I said "them" I meant the yard in NC where I got my box, NOT the yard that Sue references above. The one I saw was picked over pretty bad already.

Always sad to see one in that state. I may have to ask Greg to put a cover over my old VX before I go over to his house again.

Hey for anybody who's looking (and really needs to blow their lottery winnings before the IRS finds out) this should work too. Keep in mind it's USED.

Buy it now of deuce/tre ???



Aiiiiight...that's IT!!!

Whatever they're smokin' in Tokyo, is obviously better than whatever I can get my hands on...

I'm MOVING!

It seems for what ever reason, that the VX fuel injection system is different than the Trooper. Maybe we should write as a group to Isuzu engineering dept. for an official explanation. Only thing I can figure is that because the VX has full time TOD, and the Trooper can be switched off, the system operates differently??? Any other thoughts?

Splain please...

Meaning the airbox and beyond. It never seems to be a clean switch when a Trooper long block is mated to the VX. The VX apparatus has to go on top.

I only remember that as an issue when Ianironman transplanted a DI lump out of an Axiom...the direct injection was controlled by different parameters within the Ax CPU (also, the drive by wire).

He changed out the intake manifold, so that there were no issues...

Plz advise if you have info that I'm not seeing...

[blacksambo]

You can't dump a 100 % Trooper operation in to a Vx and vice versa, it just don't mate up or operate quite the same. Why is my question? Maybe we just don't know the answer, so let's ask the great god Isuzu, that's all.
