EK9 + Mfactory gearing..
following MarkM but having had quotes between £3-400 i decided to have a go myself, the install is not yet finished and may not be pleasing to the eye to some. i have posted to try & show it is not difficult for those who would like to do it. it may seem extreme for some but rather a battery than a sub in my boot thanks. it took 2 of us 5hrs & we are reasonably handy with tools. i still have to get a 45 bend to get the filter into the corner, then i will be using a cup brake duct (in place of foglight) with a proper air feed aiming at the filter, then i will partially heatsheild the battery area. a race battery will go in at a l8r date. cable throttle will also be done shortly. many pics to follow!! there are others if anybody wants them. basically it seems you could take out the washer bottle & drill through the bulkhead there, but as i already had a sub & amp previously (in boot) there where cables run for them, i used that hole instead. i ran 25mm cable along the side of the car, modified my fuse box to get the existing wires through then attached them all together (pics paint a thousand words i hope). fixed the battery box to the boot floor, earthed the batt to just behind the seat. had to take off the wipers, various bits of trim, my alarm & the piece of metal that the circuit box is fitted to (for drilling).
. Mark what are you using for heatshield? i was thinking some tin (easy to shape) or that silver corregated stuff that is above my exhaust? hope to get the brake duct fitted next week for the air feed...cmon Fred!
