How the hell do I get a CAF to the Grill?

[ollie_kerslake]

Hi,

I have a BMC CDA and at the moment I have a CAF to the passenger side arch, I have ripped out the accustic valve. I want to run a caf to the grill to pump some more ait rhough but i cant see how the hell i could do it. What size CAF pipe do i need and can someone give me step by step pics if possible.

Cheers,
Ollie

Through the hole left by the original induction pipework, theres a gap between the end of the rad and the bulkhead IIRC just big enough for a 70 odd (I think) mm pipe to go thru

At least that's how mine is

Pics of lower section where you feed it through to grill would be good cookie.

That would involve taking my wheel off and peeling the arch back, just don't have the time to do it sorry

Wouldnt bother. I tried a few years ago. The only way to do it is to crush/mishape the pipe work, which imo defeats the object........

Ah get what you mean now cookie sorry mate thought you could see it from underneath forgot it has cover panel under engine & bumper.

So is it worth doing to lower grill or does routing pipe to bottom of arch do as much then from what Gaz is saying ?

I've lost maybe a few mm here or there where I've had to squeeze the pipe thru gaps.. but it's not anything major
