sfs silicone bend on a phase 1 172, not possible???

[subarufreak]

well, tried to make my own jms system
using k&n filters and wanted to keep the original airbox instead of getting a v6

but the sfs bend is a bit to short to fit the original airbox...

anyone who had this problem and found a way to solve it?
or any ideas or thoughts on the problem???

really want to keep the original airbox, that I am sure

kind regards

Dominique

SFS bend !?

 

[Chrisjk]

I used a samco ph2 on mine, it was modified to fit the ph1.

any pics of that chris? and what did you do with the breather?

no one who has the original box on?

I've got a silicone bend on mine no problems, get a pic up to explain what you mean and I'll try to help

the samco seems a bit longer

you had to cut it back to fit the original box chris, am I right?

stole a picture from nickson, hope he doesn't mind


the original set up, just want to replace the 90 degree bend with an sfs but it's too short to get to the original box

Dominique, thats my old sfs bend, it fits trust me, fit it onto the airbox first then the throttle body

see thats it fitted to mine,

I'm guessing that it's also with a v6 airbox???

 

[Feirny]

It also fitted mine perfectly for the brief 10minutes I had it fitted.

 

[magh]

Yup that is correct, as said attach to airbox and tighten hoseclip then slide onto throttle body hold in place whilst tightening hose clip, job done.

mines the original airbox. I cant seem to get it more straight

the gap is too big to get if fitted but I'm not giving up yet
