Grant,

I've been looking at my intake temperatures and i've decided its time to copy your cold air intake. How/where did you mount the filter under the front? Is it in front of the radiator or did you manage to squeeze it in next to the lights somewhere? You talkled about a 90 degree joint a few pages back, is that joint on the front side of the hole to get the filer on a 'sideways' angle? Does the hole under the metal plate that you pulled off end up large enough? When i look at it on mine (with the plate still on) it looks too small to fit a pipe through. Do you have a pic of the filter under the nosecone?

Thanks

andrew

ive been planing this for a while, since my car is away.

i want to run a tube of the TB thru the little hole in the front of the guard, maybe make it a lil larger and run the K&N flat filter which will tuck in there nicely (i think) and should get a sheet load of flow?

is that prity much what u done grant?

cheers
Rhys

Andrew,

ok i'll try and remember without looking at it can take a pic if you need.

i have got a 90 degree rubber pipe just the elbow 2" i think it jams into the hole beside radiator.
get some 2: exhaust pipe or 2.5 whatever i used and fool about 1 " long piece so you can clamp the flexy hose to it, i also braised a fitting in the front one to run pcv/breather.

more flexy hose at front of 90 bend under nosecone. filter is mounted in middle of nosecone, i got a small filter from repco $29 and a 2" to whatever size adaptor to suit the pipe and filter. then some angle brackets that hook onto the filter adaptor.
watch what size filter you get as it wont fit through the gap.

as for water, i have driven in rain then pulled the hose off at tb and its dry, even if it gets wet will only make the air a bit cooler

Ahh ok so you drop the pipe size to get through the hole.. I'll have to measure it all when i get rid of the metal cover. I might enlarge the hole a bit as i want to keep the hose the same size from the throttle body to the filter so theres no restriction..

it should be the eexact same size as the tb.

i think what i found was the inside dia of the tb was the same size as the hole. the only thing is with the 2" tb you can clamp a hose down onto it. but trying to get the same sized pipe through a hole is a different story.

dont think you'll gain anything from cutting it bigger, plus you can always put it back.

what's going on with eexact is everyones e key stuffed, word filter wtf

Ah ok yeah, i was thinking 2 inches was small, but i forget my throttle butterfly is only 50mm.. I'll have to wait though as i'm changing to a larger tb (60mm) as my intake velocity is too high.

i found the word that does it!haha
