CAI

[dstocks]

Magna or Manga - and how can you see that??????. Off Topic..... Maybe.... Red will make it go faster.

[shue]

post up pics what u come up with stocks. would love to see some more examples before i take the plunge. have to wait for my new bar anyway

[dstocks]

OK,

When I do it ill put a guide together with piccies etc....

May be a little while though. Will post to the forum when done

Easiest way to do it would be to cut a whole in your bonnet.

[dstocks]

Maybe I should just take the bonnet off.......

Damn you!

That's what I'm gonna do!!

[shue]

where u gettin the bonnet from? heres another idea. 150 gbp. so thats close to 360$

Did anyone end up going through with this design ? Im getting my exhaust put in on monday and might get this setup at the sametime ...

[barfy]

When I had the front bumper off today, I was having a little bit of a think re getting some more cool air into the system. What I want to know is if the following is likely to work:



If I attach an additional pipe through the location marked in the picture above and have it fed directly from the airflow through the front grill, will it provide a benefit. Im not thinking of shutting much of the front grill off just enough for a 7cm odd pipe (so hopefully shouldnt effect the radiator too much). If I attach it to the existing air cleaner pipe, it can suck additional air from the standard location as well.

Would this work, or is it just a waste of time. I have an ARC box in place of the standard air cleaner.

Just wondering if anyone went through with this ? If so does it work well ?
Gains etc ??

[dstocks]

Not yet, but I have plans..........

[barfy]

Well im planning on doing this on monday when i get my exhaust done, so i will let you know how it goes ...

[BuCkEt]

Removing that will improve airflow as long as you run another tube to an open area in your front bar. That stock box doesn't even open up directly to any air coming into the engine bay. Rather it sucks up air that has already passed into the bay and would most likely be warm.

lol thanks kev. i was thinking of gettin a piping from the front grill to where the pod would be. like in the pic. reakon that would work???

Im planing on setting it up similar to this ... Should work quite well and im all so getting a dyno run before and after so we should beable to see the gains aswell, although im also getting a cat back exhaust done at the sametime.

[BuCkEt]

Holy red hoses Jose!!

That's a really nifty setup for a CAI that's for sure.

[dstocks]

Yeah, thats one of the ones I drool over every now and then. Have a look at the CAI on the red FTO in the pictures I posted to Gibberish (What the??). That ones interesting too!!

[barfy]

Umm i think i will stick with this design haha

[shue]

ive got the piping and the "bell" thingo already. just waitin for my front bar to go on to make the cai set up. will look exactly like the red engined one. the piping to go from the front bar st8 to my enclosed pod.

Are you going putting the pipe here as shown above ?? Or going straight to the pod ? if so which way you going ?? And with the bell thingo u mean the metal hole that sits on the grill ? Im hoping the place i take it to will allready have this stuff ?!?!

[shue]

yep the "bell" is the metal hole in the grill. im thinking of removing the original one and leading the piping from the bell st8 to the pod.should be more efficient than making a hole in the original one i picked up the bell and piping off ebay for about 20$ i think .
