Request - 1.6 16v engine bay?

[AhmedRSi]

Anyone got a pic?

Whats that box after the filter? noticed it today when removing my cold air feed.. seems like a useless box in the middle of the cold air feed... what does it do?

 

[Aluco]

1.4 but basically the same layout as 1.6...

 

[AhmedRSi]

whats that box the cold air feed goes into?

 

[AhmedRSi]

found a pic but its missing the box and cold air feed...

Anyone know what it is?

 

[Rage]

Treat Yourself...

 

[Rage]

Anyone know what it is?

Airfilter? lol

 

[Aluco]

Its the airfilter lol.

Buggered if i know how to open it though !

But some tights over that "hole" in yours or you will suck up all sorts of crap into your engine.

 

[AhmedRSi]

Thanks for the pics... but i meant what the hell is this box?! i know where the asirbox goes..

 

[StevenMc29]

the air box?

regulates the flow of air into the engine?

just a guess

 

[AhmedRSi]

thats not the part with the filter in though... its just a empty box from what i can see

 

[Hazza]

Then you're missing a filter!

I'll come round later to have a look?

 

[StevenMc29]

maybe it should have a filter in it?:quiet:

i dont know tho coz im not familiar with that engine

 

[rctempire]

The air filter goes into that box. So your missing the filter, i would get one ASAP.

 

[JCC]

I'd say at a guess thats where the filter is meant to be, but ur obviously missing one?

 

[AhmedRSi]

the filter is there lol, its in the bit marked in yellow. Ill get some better pictures when i go home....

 

[Rage]

Lmfao....was genna say thats the airbox lmfao!

 

[StevenMc29]

so you highlighted the red bit when u were talking about the yellow bit?

i think someone has mada a fool of themselves and is trying not to look so silly now?

i could be wrong...

 

[AhmedRSi]

What? no dont be stupid steven :S

Yellow bit is where my air filter is

RED bit is the bit i dont know what it does... has nothing in it!!!! empty tub with some sort of hole in it!

 

[StevenMc29]

ahh my bad i read your previous post wrong

sorry

 

[AhmedRSi]

sok

 

[AhmedRSi]

Anyone got any ideas?

 

[Hazza]

Brb, i'll consult the haynes manual.

 

[Chrisjk]

Resonator i think.

 

[Hazza]

Can't find anything in the Haynes, but i'll bring it with me when i come over Ahmed.

 

[AhmedRSi]

what does it do? its not an acoustic valve or anything? when you look down the box its just a pipe going straight through it with a small breather hole halfway down that seems to go to the rest of the box... :S

 

[AhmedRSi]

Haz dont worry i have a haynes manual too. Could it be a dust trap or something?

 

[Chrisjk]

Its called the air inlet duct (just read)

 

[Nick_P]

Resonator i think.

+1

 

[AhmedRSi]

what does it dooooooo ? why is it therrrrre lol

 

[Christopher]

WTF.

The large box is the air box. It should contain a filter.

They'll then be the inlet tract at the back of the airbox which leads the the throttle body, which on the K4M is at the back of the engine.

I don't see why it's so confusing?

 

[AhmedRSi]

Christopher, would you mind explaining that in terms of yellow bits and red bits? im terribly confused

 

[superbenji88]

yellow bit has the filter inside it, red box is just a box that seems to just disturb the flow of air

 

[AhmedRSi]

Oh ok. would removing it mate any difference? im just wondering what the point of it is! lol

 

[mini-valver]

Right, the bit that says 16v on is the plenum and the throttle body is pointing back of it towards the bulkhead. Theres a massive box which goes down the back of the engine which has a rectangle hole on the side where the filter sits and a reducer, which has an oval outlet, screws too it to secure the filer.The resonator then clamps too it (the box you are asking what it is) then the feed from that goes to the inner wing.

All the retards saying its an airbox are wrong. You can remove the resonator and piping and fit a bigger CAF to the airbox but youll have to rig up the end to fit the oval airbox end. Or remove it completely for noise but it'll do nothing for performance.

 

[AhmedRSi]

All the retards saying its an airbox are wrong.

I knew it... thanks for clearing things up. So if i remove the resonator performance will stay the same but noise will inscrease?

 

[mini-valver]

Yeah, any difference in performance will be negledable unless its a uber hot day.

 

[AhmedRSi]

By move i meant just bypass it with a CAF. But for now i think ill just stick to the original setup.

 

[mini-valver]

Yeah, in that case providing you put the feed in a decent place, it'll be better than stock as the resonator has holes in the pipe to reduce noise but it interupts flow too. They'll be no massive difference but you wont be doing any harm!

 

[clio_mad]

It's a resonator to keep engine noises down.

My focus had one on the side of the air-box also my brothers swift has one before the air box.
