My Custom Induction Kit

[LRTom]

Been playing around, settled on this idea.

No need to reposition battery which is nice.
Still working on prototype heatshields but getting close to a finished one now.
Also working on cold air feeds, currently have an 80mm feed from fog light to behind headlamp.

Any input CONSTRUCTIVE welcome.

Thanks

Tom

Won't it get just as hot?? coz it will be in an enclosed area, when u close the bonnet?

 

[Bradharding]

Errrr.... different

 

[izard-industries]

good work, looks like you have been polishing your engine a bit there!

 

[LRTom]

It's in an enclosed space that is filling with cool air from around the headlamp and from the cold air feed, the heatshield is trying to keep the hot air away from that area

That breather aint good.

i've done the same on mine its a lot cooler there thanks to the vents in the good old ph1 172 bumper. the cone used to get really hot in its standard posistion.

I've got a breather filter to go on but it was getting dark

 

[clio_luke]

should be ok, bet there is no noticable difference than standard set up to

 

[rich19]

any change in noise/ pick up?

 

[W17GLE]

mines better with it relocated it is a lot cooler there. in the standard possition you have heat from the engine block and the water pipes as well. i need a better pipe though mines all a bit too diy

 

[rich19]

beem thinking of doing this to mine just trying to find a metal 90 degree pipe with a long enough straight section

 

[W17GLE]

motorworld have some but they are not best ever. i'd try demontweeks or a specialist motorsport shop. now i know it works i'll try and get a samco hose made up or maybe a custom alloy one, not sure yet

 

[rich19]

theres some on ebay but they have short straight sections.

[rich19]

too be honest thats spot on MrBilly

give me your address your on my xmas car list now

 

[W17GLE]

problem i found with some of the metal ones is they posistion the filter wrong and it doesn't fit properly, meaning the battery would need to be removed. i'm trying to get a pic of mine of my phone nut i'm just struggling a bit.

 

[rich19]

try and get it up!

with the metal ones if your patient you could heat it up and with abit of will power adjust it

powerflow or most custom exhaust places will make you a stainless one up

 

[rich19]

never thought about them maybe worth a look

must be easy to get a metal plate also cut a circle out and then you have a fully enclosed filter with great cold air feed

 

[W17GLE]

i'm afraid the my bluetooth dongle has given up and refuses to work. to be honest mine looks pretty much the same as in the picture above. there are plenty of ways to do it, it just takes a bit of patience getting it right

 

[rich19]

right well i`l have a little play with this at the weekend i think

 

[W17GLE]

look about half way down this thread, this is the car that inspired me to do it

yeah pm`d mike the other day he can sort those pipes out for you and powder coat them aswell if you want but he didnt get back to me with a price

Looks good mate.

Where did you get the Silicone 90 degree bend air feed pipes from ?

And what i.d (inside diameter) are they ?

Have you noticed any diff over standard airbox ?

Apart from noise

 

[Ali]

Can't see that bein any different there personally! Still heak soak on an open IK.

bends from siliconhoses.com, next day delivery, good quality.

I.D. is 70mm

Pick us is a bit quicker. Coupled with my exhaust the noise is brutal! Sounds great

I know it's not going to give any real gains but it derestricts the system and sounds great

you would be suprised how much cooler it is there than right next to the engine especially with the cold air coming through the front bumper

Would it be cooler than a standard airbox with an uprated panel filter and decent air feed from grill ?

 

[LRTom]

Don't know - hope so! Might borrow some equipment and run some tests would be interesting to have some scientific info rather than just people opinions
