Best way for cold air feed

[johnboy1988]

A just got a BMC CDA and want to no where to run Ma air feed from the standard 1 or a new 1 any tips on where to run the hose from?

personally i would ditch the CDA, ideally you want the bucket feed system

What is the bucket feed system and where can a get it?

Has to be a "calf rearing" bucket IIRC. They're just having you on, buckets were involved in a flawed idea that was posted a while ago.

Technically the best place to put a CAF is around the scuttle panel/windscreen wiper area. The flow of air over a car body is at it's highest pressure at this point, therefore the air you're drawing in is at it's most dense (which is the whole point - cold/dense air = more oxygen to react with fuel) If you fancy a project maybe you could fashion an air intake around this area without using a silly amount of 90-degree bends or small diameter induction hose.

Otherwise, a CAF into the grill area, fog light area or where the headlamps usually are (which is what the cup racers used) is common. Obviously some are less practical than others...

run it from the standard location, there is an air duct behind the front grill that directs a flow of air to the battery area.
