The kit was made by myself and is quite simple:

- 1 manifold to link the AFM to the filter

- 1 cone filter with heat shield

- 1 empty headlight unit

- some ducktape and aluminium piping

- The net is to keep birds away from my intake valves :lol:

I can´t trully prove gains but I registred a 5km/h improvement at top speed.

Cold air intake

Post by Reale »

I think your intake is exactly right-you absolutely have to get cold air to those cone filters! How much room is there around the air filter shield?
I made a compartment for the cone filter in the engine bay, and ducted the air from the headlight into it. Your arrangement is much simpler, I think. I have tested this, and if your filter is sucking air from the engine bay, you have a significant HP loss.

It sucks (air). And most probably does it quite good too. Both cold and and as high pressure as possible.

I like it quite a bit as a track only setup.

I like it.
I'm trying something similar on my GTV but mounting the pod behind the headlights and only removing the lights for track work.

Ah! :D

I was feeling kind of lonely here.

Thanks for the comments.

With this configuration the filter only sucks air from the oustide of the engine bay...fresh clean air!

I know a dyno run would be an interesting thing to do to be sure of the real HP gain/loss...

To be continued :wink:
