Bailey. Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Lol, does he rate it? Going back a few years but on a saxo, lol, the Bmc used to make around 8hp less than a green cotton enclosed setup, iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Jez, have you got a pic of your car looking straight on, so i can see where the drainpipe is under the indicator/sidelight? i was thinking of doing the same, but there doesnt apear to be much room ther due to my Greddy IC piping?

Lude Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 ye i saw the pic, but doesnt show how much of the gap in the bumper is filled with the IC piping, and how much of it is the drain pipe. il just have to use a smalled drain pipe as there isnt a lot of room there to collect the air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Just use as big as will fit, any cold air feed is better than none Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Finished my new improved version today, it's made from 220mm diam perspex tube, with perspex end caps, it has a 5" intake direct from my existing cold air feed. I was going to get some black 4" flexible intake ducting for the filter->turbo, but B&Q had this rigid flexible hose, you reckon it will be OK? Any pics, I have loads of how I made it of anyone is interested, sorry for the grainy pics, it was dark and the ISO is way up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueangel Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 love it dude i may steal that idea too lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 That looks like it is going to be the business bud. Personally I would have increased the volume of air around the filter (between filter and perspex tube) as that may cause a bit of a restriction, basically you want the volume that the filter can handle to be equal to the volume outside the filter. Unless the perspex is actually larger than it looks, I know pics can throw you off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Cheers bud, I don't think so, all it will do it suck in ambient air, I already proved the old big aluminium box did that so this sealed unit will do no better, truth be told I on;t made it as I think a barrel looks better than a box, and no quench than neurotic part of me that wanted for the box to be sealed (even though it would prolly make buggar all difference) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 That's a fair shout. Where you starting next? I'll be ordering some black 100mm hose on Monday, I don't like the silver stuff, far too in your face Getting the passenger door on needs to be my next priority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Pipercross do these 100mm hoses and fittings. http://www.thepipercrossshop.co.uk/accessories.asp http://89.206.185.119/images/product/product/pip_VFS-viper-kit.jpg http://pxmedia.co.uk/getimage.asp?f=c9008&w=250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Cheers Nic, it's a bit pricey at £50 though, I think Merlin do the exact same hose (minus the ends) in 1m lengths for £20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Out of interest, can anybody tell me the size diameter of the hose/fitting that feeds the stock airfilter box, and the exit to turbo for that box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Isn't it 3 inch from the turbo pipes and 4 inch into the air box. Could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Looks great Jay but i think bud your going to find your Air/fuel ratios will be going richer now as the size of the the box is not big enough in relation to the filter imo. If you can measure how much water that could hold some how, i could tell you for sure but would also need to know how much your injector duty cycle is at peak torque and at peak power .... plus the injector size.
