Ph1 172 air intake pipe options? HELP!!

[J4 WYB]

Hi,
I have searched and read numerous threads about Ph1 air intake pipes and am a bit unsure of what to do :dapprove:

If i get a BMC CDA induction kit is there any SAMCO or HILLPOWER style pipes that i could get to fit my Ph1?

I am fairly handy with the spanners, so am not affraid of some modifications if needed but dont wanna spend £50 for something that will never fit no matter what you do.

Any help much appreciated

Don't bother. By all accounts the ph1 airbox was hand crafted by god and is the best airbox of any car ever.

Do this Sounds awesome! Got an ITG Filter in the airbox.

Much better than standard crap feeds:

I am going to be attempting this over the weekend...

If i get my panel filter (hopefully it should come today) what diameter are the new air feeds?

 

[RacerStu]

I used 70mm feeds from here:

You will need a lot of cable ties too!

Looks good mate, so this sounds much louder than standard? Looks interesting! So simply remove the two little pipes and relocate the longer ones to behind the headlight or anywhere that recieves good airflow!

 

[RacerStu]

It sounds bloody good really wallows when you floor it. I removed the headlight and cut away a lot of the plastic that was underneath it to give better airflow. The feeds come out just behind where the intake in the front bumber is just underneath the headlight. Whole lot including filter cost me £65

 

[J4 WYB]

Definately having a go at this when the feed pipes come

I take it you got 2meters of the pipe mate?

 

[RacerStu]

Ye 2x 1m and 100 cable ties just incase.

 

[J4 WYB]

Cool, thanks alot for your help mate

This best sound good

 

[J4 WYB]

Sorted, just brought: 2metres of 70mm CAF, 100 12" cable ties, 2 60mm-80mm jubalee clips

 

[RacerStu]

Nice one! Hope you have fun fitting it all. You might find that the jubilee clips dont really work on the CAF as its very strong though.

My panel filter came today..

when i came to fit the filter i noticed 2 of the 4 clips on my air box lid were missing!!!

And renault dont supply these grrr...

Nicely done !!

I've been told before that this phase one airbox is really good.

Can this be fitted on a make two (2003) ? Also keeping in mind that mine has the acoustic valve ..

Nice mod, these pipes/tubes are expensive here in Holland, 35pounds for a piece aprox 1 meter....
They come with the Viper Kit :nono:

I'm really interested, air is what a car needs

Hey, looking good there !
nice one thanx !

 

[Alex_X93]

v nice idea.

 

[mach10]

if the ph1 172 airbox is so good why do people bother buying induction kits? I dont get it but i want a bmc cda n put the CAF to the fog light. Waste of money or?

 

[J4 WYB]

To be honest mate i did this last week and am very impressed with it

Sounds very nice and cost hardly anything compared to induction kits

u mean panel filter?

 

[J4 WYB]

Yep, ive got an ITG panel filter in my standard airbox then get rid of the original CAF and replace with two 70mm pipes and locate them in cold air flow.

Makes a nice noise, quieter than open filter but just loud enough!
