Acoustic valve

[Clioste]

As above ripped off today plugged hole with a bolt and tapped up plug.

Really I don't notice much difference in this only that it sounds a bit louder.

All I've done is left the one pipe on that was attached to the acoustic valve see pic

Do I need to leave the pipe on or take off?

 

[DaveDreads]

Take it off, if you look at the right hand side of the front grill
you'll see there's a little duct that feeds air directly into the intake hole area.

 

[Clioste]

Ok will do and what about the pipe that connect to the inlet that's the one I've blocked up is that right.

 

[Clioste]

just before the throttle body.

 

[Clioste]

That intake pipe I've put it lower down I've routed it just under the fan lower grill.

 

[DaveDreads]

The little pipe near the throttle body is the breather pipe,
you can remove it and block the hole off on the inlet elbow,
it's just any oil that would get fed back into the inlet manifold will just drip into your engine bay.

I'm using a silicone pipe so I don't have the breather pipe at all,
but I did fit breather filter to catch any drips.

 

[Clioste]

Mines a ph1 airbox I'm keeping original air filter in.

Masewell keep that breather on then. Plus that little pipe what attaches to the nipple fed down to the acoustic valve but plug up from arch end.

The one on the elbow bigger pipe I've left attached as it should.

I've keepet that feed but I've re routed it to the lower grill part to increase air flow

 

[DaveDreads]

The one on the elbow is the breather pipe, which other pipe are you on about?

 

[Clioste]

Right you know the acoustic valve it's the pipe that comes from that up to inlet here I'll get a pic 2secs.

 

[DaveDreads]

With you now, yeah the one on the acoustic valve is the one you block off.

 

[Clioste]

That one in my hand it ran down to the acoustic valve. Which I've blocked up bottom end

 

[Clioste]

Or do I leave that unblocked.

 

[DaveDreads]

Have you actually removed the acoustic valve, or just taken the hoses out of the airbox?

 

[Clioste]

I've removed it and blocked off that pipe what's in my hand.

Only one I've left on is the air pipe which attaches to the side of box

But in this pic I've routed that pipe to here to get better air flow

 

[DaveDreads]

That's fine then, job done.

 

[MartinR]

Flol.

Was you pissed when you drilled them holes

 

[DaveDreads]

Never noticed that. lol

You can just remove the other pipe, the box will get plenty of air from the top grill.

 

[Clioste]

Ay done yet lol I'm taking them out completely so it's little square slots.

 

[Clioste]

Look nice when I've finished with it even thou it's only a plastic peace gotta make it look smart lol.

Plus putting down to there I'll get better air flow as it's more direct when driving.

But that elbow might do change it and find some think with more of a bend.
