You need a gas tank in the back to keep the flame going too

Fair play that's a good effort! Less of the UMMs (which is difficult and might take a bit of practise and a few cuts) and cringe at the shock horror bit but other than that it's very good; well done.

Mine's been ok, but I leave it disconnected with a solar charger on it. And then its only a 30 second job to connect it again.

Looks better :) Is that a polo radiator fitted?

Build the airbox into the slam panel to retain the bonnet catch.

Its probably the tyres. Not the fault of the tyres but because having a softer compound on the front and a harder compound on the rear is not ideal for a FWD car and certainly won't help. The other way around is better. Did you touch the kerbs at all when you span? A damp kerb isn't very...

Oh right! Didn't realise you would get that much.

Thats close... You could run smaller spacers (make your own) or 40mm trumpets, that'll give the same length as the SFs with 120mm trumpets.

Is that 15mm between the trumpets and the bonnet or the filter and the bonnet?

Only Russ is looking into a closed one. I'll keep the sausage. Scott is looking at the panel filter style.

It's not something rude...it's a rather shonky mockup of the DTH bodies with the SF spacers, 60mm trumpets and the recommended filter height. Over Christmas I'll take my inlet and slam panel off and see what clearance there is. The recommended clearance for the filter is a minimum of 13mm for...

It worked OK if I took the filter off. Even running it with no filter and the air feed pipe sapped power...strange.

I had this one. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Product.do?method=view&n=1691&g=246392&p=40619&c=215&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Base&utm_campaign=Universal%20Air%20Boxes&gclid=CLGl2NTsnrsCFVMPtAodXUMA2w I had the car setup without it, and then dyno run again with it on. It lost 20bhp at the...

The only issue with those ones is needing a new airfilter. And after doing a couple of measurements they might even angle down too much. I think the spacers are the best bet Tbh.

The hole spacing is the same though, 65mm. Just make an adapter if needed like in the photo I posted earlier.

I'd be wary of airboxes. I ran a Pipercross airbox and it cost me 20bhp at the wheels.

Assuming they are the standard 50mm spacers but at an angle of 22.5° that makes the bottom part 30mm. So with 60mm standard trumpets on the DTH kit you will end up with 110-90mm trumpets (100mm nominal). And you won't need to change the air filter. Assuming you have space of course.

I don't think it'll make much difference if any.

It's a Golf DTH setup Morgan. The trumpets are 120mm. I don't, but you could work it out as the angle is 22.5°. I asked Jenvey how much they space the trumpets out but they weren't much use.

Yes. I also asked what the angle of the bodies is but they didn't know. I measured the angle of the head inlet face and that's at 10 degrees, so I assume they will be inline with that. It's making me lean towards the SF setup, I wonder if 150mm trumpets would fit?!

Jenvey make 110mm long 40 degree angled trumpets. Or you could make some angled spacers. I love how ktec told me that 90mm would fit on the DTH bodies with just a shorter rad and shallower filter. And that 120 would fit with a bit of bonnet cutting......

Leaving Llandudno area. Reg J400 VEL Looked great on the road!

Bronze looks like they're muddy. I'd go silver or at a push maybe gold.

Ooh I'll get some of the rack bushes when I fit a Dci rack. Scratch that, they mount directly....

I wouldn't mind having a go with a RS2 inlet on mine. I've got the Piper cams with headwork and 182 manifold. It makes 184bhp and 173lbft on the RS Tuning rollers. I think with the RS2 and 50mm extensions I could make some more power and extend the torque curve a bit. But its a big risk when...

Would be nice to see figures with the extra 50mm spacers on the RS2 and cams. Would that need bonnet pins?

Good to see it works with cams. But with Itbs you'll see another 10-15bhp and lbft. Interested to see the graphs overlayed too.
