CAI - Phase 1
Posted: Mon May 26, 2008 10:52 pm
Started work on my new Cold Air Induction Setup in the last few weeks. Finished the first phase and thought id chuck up a few piccies. Have used metal sheeting with polystyrene inbetween for insulation. Have also used a bit of expanding foam filler as can be seen in one or 2 of the photos below. Not sure if a guide is really appropriate for this one as it is not really easy to duplicate without schematics. Anyway, here are the pictures of the first part:
Backing plate for battery and gearbox
Polystyrene Layer
Finished backing plate
Cutout Side plate
Side plate attached to backing plate and gaps filled tith expanding foam. Had to cutout a couple of internal shapes so airbox would fit. Also found out I had to leave the top open so i could install the intake pipe (will cover this over in step 2.
Trimming the expanding foam
Removing the beige powdercoat
Applying a little colour
Finished part 1
The next step will be to stop warm air coming over the top of the air intake pipe. The final step will be to install a pipe out the bottom of the setup. Will update this thread as things proceed.
