Bmc Cda

[Evy.]

Hi guys

I have a 172 on a 53 plate.

Could someone tell me the exact model number and additional parts I will need to get a BMC CDA fitted to my car. I'm getting confused there seems to be lots of different models and bits missing.

Thanks

Alex

Take old one off put new 1 in! it really is that simple.... the guide it comes with is brilliant!

 

[Fred@BTM]

the air feed that comes with it is crap, but apart from that its a good kit

 

[Ali]

Leave it std.

Thats why I have a huge one from Yozzasport!

 

[Evy.]

Whats with the red Hill Power bend? do I need that or is it just nicer to look at instead of the one supplied

 

[christurbo]

No you dont need it but you might need to cut the OE on down in size [I did]

Plus you will find it tight to get a CAF in the end without it shortened.

I even had the Hillpower bend cut down!

Bought one now mate and fitted it today, did you have a Air Feed to yours Dan

Chris what size of air feed do I need as Fred is right the one you get is crap.
There also seems to be a plastic panel where your air feed is pointing out of did you remove this or cut it out?
Thanks

Chris has got the "luxury" of no aircon too IIRC, got rid of all the pipes and s**t...that makes it a while lot easier to pick up from the front grill.

 

[Evy.]

ohh I see. No aircon. That makes sense, still going to try and make it work tonight.

Pics up later

 

[christurbo]

Yep - if you have a search through my blog I have some entries regarding rerouting the CAF, also as Mark said I have had the aircon removed completely with no pump, and cup alternator and bracket installed.

There is no other way of routing such a large diameter CAF other than that I have.

 

[Evy.]

Right Im having a go at this tonight. I have bought a pipercross CAF and I'm going to remove the Valve thing that every1 keeps going on about and feed the pipe through to the front of the grille. I'm also going to cut the OE bend off the engine to give me more room. Exciting I will post pics when done.

 

[christurbo]

Here you go mate - some pics off my blog.

You can fit that diameter pipe down past the headlamp even on xenon lamped cars, but don't take it right to the grill as you may get some water ingress and then loss of power will be the least of your worries!!

 

[Neil G]

Good use of spare bits there

You cant believe me

 

[16vshaun]

You can, and the evidence is stitting in my garage at the moment lol

 

[christurbo]

Not with the same diameter tubing as I have got.

I had it from Yozzasport - its meant for brake ducting.


If so then you must have relocated the battery to the rear and removed the fuse box, then relocated all the loom etc, from behind and around the headlamp.

I spent a long time trying to route it down there - but its not going to happen without the above mods.

It can be done easily with normal CAF/tubing.

 

[Fred@BTM]

chris you can fit that pipe work down there, its just a bugger, plus it doesn't last that long

 

[christurbo]

PLus will break the Xenons over time!!!!

Im perfectly happy about the way I have routed it at the mo - but will change it if I relocate the battery!

 

[jon_r]

The specific CDA is sp008 from memory and the ducting is available from Green Filters. Brings back memories, had this setup 3 years ago!

 

[16vshaun]

 

[christurbo]

That is no way the same diameter as my cupracer brake ducting.

 

[16vshaun]

Well it was in a brake duct kit i bought off ebay - that was supplied by yozzasport

 

[christurbo]

Oh right, they must have supplied a smaller diameter one, If you look on the intake of my CDA the ducting slips over the intake ridge easily - where yours is slotted inside the intake hole.

Good choice in I/K though

 

[16vshaun]

Pipe is same size mate, I choose to put a slilicone sleeve over the caf as it looks better than the caf being jubilee clipped to the bmc!

 

[Fred@BTM]

size isn't everything now boys
