**Pic Request** Cold air feed 172. Not Cup!

[Ali]

Rite ladies/gents...Post away, i'm aware it's a b**ch to get a feed to the bumper, Think Eve's managed it, so pics of urs would be good mate. Chris? And a few others.
More the beta to be honest. It looks really tight in there and i'm struggin for idea's.

not cup why ? is the layout different maybe because of no aircon unit or summat.

 

[Gareth]

yeah, different ball game with cup

 

[Ali]

^ Yep...you can post pics if you want jus for show off's sake but it's a lil more crowded on a 172 than on a cup.

I ran it where the second original air feed goes, that 1 near the headlamp

It gets cold air allright but I am always woried when it rain, but have not had problems yet

 

[Ali]

^ Where the OE feed goes?? looks like no cold air gets in there???

 

[Christopher]

yup. No probs Ali.

i have a viper and fog light relocation. Sounds reet good it does too, as Uncleiven, dutty and ben_p will tell you.

 

[Ali]

Hummm, looks ace chris, but i'm not wantin to remove the foggy. Although i'll neva use them, i want to keep the front simple and uncluttered. Not sure where else it can go tho??

 

[gh172]

What about the Hillpower scoop? Looks like a downpipe spout with some wire mesh over it and on my car is cut into the wheelarch just in front of the wheel. Routing of a hose from the airbox to the front nearside corner then straight down is really easy - just a bit of a squeeze past the headlight.

Puddles worry me a little, but I can't believe water could defy gravity right up to the airbox.

Sod the puddles, it's the wet/damn air you don't need...Let alone the spray on a rainey day!

 

[Hotshot]

[Gareth]

[Ali]

Still there for me mate...refresh.

 

[Norma Stits]

[Ali]

[Craig]

i was just going to say that. how you get it down there with the air con ?

 

[Ali]

It's a bendy route...

 

[Norma Stits]

[Christopher]

i seriously am in love with ur car carbon

lol.

thanks fella, in need of a bit of a wash atm.

 

[gh172]

I'm looking for an original air pipe (just the section from the airbox to the valve) off a mk2 172. Will pay a fair price...

 

[Ads_172]

Perhaps not as subtle as you want, but I like the way it hints at what's hidden under the bonnet and sounds awesome!

 

[Adam]

yup. No probs Ali.

i have a viper and fog light relocation. Sounds reet good it does too, as Uncleiven, dutty and ben_p will tell you.

and indeed it does.....lol (now also ben_p has put a viper on)..mint

 

[dutty_112]

[Christopher]

hardcore!

lovely stuff.

one's a dummy right?

 

[Ads_172]

Lol, yeah, the driver's side...

The previous owner fitted it and decided it looked a bit funny with just one fog so bought another intake pipe. I love it the way it is so no plans to change it just yet.

 

[Adam]

i said i wasnt going to do alot of mooding to my 182...but hearing the 2.0ltr with a viper on makes me feel a little quesy...lol

 

[Ads_172]

Lol, do it!

The guy who I bought mine off has rolling road graphs showing 182bhp as standard and an increase to 196bhp with the Viper. So, even if the starting power is out, the increase is genuine!

For me it's the noise and looks that do it, the extra 14bhp is just a little bonus.

 

[Adam]

cool....yeah you loose a little torque but it is made up with the bhp increase.....mite give admeral a ring tomorow..lol

 

[Ads_172]

Yeah, he also fitted a custom exhaust which has reduced the power to 191bhp, but smoothed the power and torque more evenly over the range.

 

[FiXX]

youd be lucky to get 5bhp from a viper or any other induction kit

 

[Ads_172]

That's what I thought but these graphs are from a reputable rolling road so I can only believe what they say. Will get it R-roaded myself when I have the time though.

 

[eves]

dude i will try and get some pics up for ya 2mo...

 

[Ali]

Cheers kid.
