bmc cda ik

[Caramel]

mine came this morning was wondering if anyone has one on the same as set up as mine? 1.6 16v dynamique. because i dont think it goes straight into the throttle body does it?

 

[clio__chris]

what bits has it come with?

does it have an elbow inc?

 

[Caramel]

no elbow, but does that mean if i get an elbow i can do it my self?

 

[Caramel]

o and is it better if it goes straight into the throttle body, because i dunno if it will fit because of the way the engine is.

 

[clio__chris]

hmmmm im not sure

i know when i looked into getting one it said the flange *snigger* will be adapted to fit

ill have a look see if i still have the email about them....

i adapted a bmc cda to fit my car but that involved a hackenscmit and a k-tec ramcharger:evil::evil::evil:

lol the email said:

It's not a direct fit though. I think you have to cut the flange off to bolt the box directly to your airflow meter. It's a fairly popular box though so it can't be that hard to do.

the instructions give a way of fitting it without connecting straight to the tb, but i was just thinking it would be better..mite just get some samcos

my car is the buttom on the list, you reckon i need them?

 

[Dink]

they are just replacement hoses for your coolant system.

i think you need an elbow off the tb an then something like a 45 into the bmc

If you need an elbow mate, contact Team Think on here or google Think Auotomotive. I got a 70mm bore 90 degree elbow for my 172 today for £19 delivered. Cheap as chips. the equivalent Hill Power bend is around £50 I think.

ok i started to fit it today and the bit that the filter should connect to is oval. (wont fit) the tb, is at the back of the engine, post pics if you have of a 1.6 16v

Post a pic of your engine bay, and the dimensions of your throttle body and the CDA and I'll work out what you needed. I once got a super-fat CDA (from a BMW Z3 3.0) into the gap between my valver's gearbox and rad, and managed to get it hooked up to the TB successfully, so it can't be any harder than that OK the engine blew up about two weeks later, but that was a different story.
