Ph1 172 Induction Kit CAF

Where is best to route cold air?

Currently have battery in boot so I have a cone filter on a 45 degree elbow located behind the Passenger headlight bit want to feed it with cold air.

Both my fog lights are being used for brake ducts/cooling so can't use them.

Any other ideas and pics if possible?

Just above the radiator.... you can cut out a black plastic guard and place it there

Remove the headlight, thats what i'm doing.

Surely not practical on his daily drive ?

Cut away some of the headlight bracket, opens up the vents in the bumper then, they are not just for show

holesaw and bonnet

I was confused by the phase 1 comment ; you are driving the 182 from your avatar are'nt you Schwepp ? Or are we talking about a phase 1 bumper here ; where some of the headlightbracket can be removed ?

 

[Jonny1*2]

could you not feed a pipe down to the brake duct pipe, make a hole in the top of it and put the CAF into it. sort of a T piece if that makes sense?

Nah. I have a phase 1 now. Looks like I'll be hacking up a headlight.

I made that guide, its actually a lot more affective with the standard Renault filter in.

 

[Jonny1*2]

standard paper filter is better :S ?

but its a track car?!

Therefore just remove the light before he goes on track. Put it back once finished.

You can feel cool air pass through the paper more than an ITG.

 

[Jonny1*2]

oh, bit strange. how did you find that out?

 

[franx]

i changed my ITG (because it was awesomely filthy) for a paper one and it's fine. No difference whatso-ever .. Have to get it on the rollers anyway to see how my new filtersetup has worked out ; i'll post results.

But changing the ITG to the paper one and having a blast straight afterwards i could'nt tell a difference. Although i must say my 5k kick has smoothened out, but gained more torque below ; this is because i lost the elbow piece and does'nt have anything to do with the filter-element

I'm sticking to paper for the next few rounds

Im gunna be using a paper on my V6 filter but just change it often, it will also be on the rollers in Oct with a paper filter. Tbh if the Cup racer used the paper filters they couldnt be all that bad really.

Will also be interesting to see how much I gain from changing from a Ph2 box with an ITB filter to a V6 box with a paper filter! Best £65 I ever spent tbh.
