My new intake...

poolkeeper · 30-09-2006, 09:04 PM

Damm my car flys now with the CDA I purchased of JC.
Cold air is flowing from the just behind the grill. The new airbox is sitting in the old airbox bottom half (acting as a heat shield, kinda) the snorkel is still connected which I thinks cools the airbox. To top it of I put aluminium foil around the piping from the CDA to just before the throttle body, as I've notice it does get quite hot.

O yeah and I rip apart my year 10 sheet metal project to make a scoop, attached to the snorkel mounting holes

So Im not going to make any changes to the intake as I did before, as it is just sooo good. :SaiyanSmi

Looks good mate. How much extra power do you think you've gained.

poolkeeper · 01-10-2006, 02:20 PM

Hmmm, I dunno.
I got 10rwkw from the zorst system, it feels like I got nearly that much again.
But I have no idea maybe 6rwkw....

by that picture it looks like that ford snorkel going into the aribox bottom is doing nothing... is it hooked up to suck in air from that air intake or not??

poolkeeper · 01-10-2006, 05:56 PM

The actual air intake is the hose running from the bottom of the airbox, I dont know if the snorkel is doing anything (I like to think it is cooling the airbox) lol..

Baboon_AU · 01-10-2006, 06:29 PM

where abouts is that flexi pipe running to?

JoesAu · 01-10-2006, 06:42 PM

that flexi pipe would be running between the lights and the radiator support just like mine is to the front grill. ive glued my pipe to the grill under the fin. directly under the ford badge on the bonnet about 100mm lower. Definately worth doin good power increase, throttle response is so sharp theres just constant air pumping in forced induction. At high speed wen u boot it you'l feel a big difference.

poolkeeper · 01-10-2006, 06:43 PM

I managed to squeze it between the radiator support panel (I think thats what its called) and the light brackets.

I didnt see this post, mine is just wedged solid in between the two

JoesAu · 01-10-2006, 06:50 PM

ive still got the factory airbox, i reckon d1xr2c cda airbox would make a bigger difference on top. my tickford snorkel is still connected as well for a secondry cai, u really do notice that those tickford snorkels do jack **** if u do this mod with the flexi pipe. Ive tested my car with one connected and the other disconnected and the difference is pretty big guys, with just the tickford snorkel on the car feels like its struggling there shocking. There'd be huge gains for people with cams and so on. But for me both are connected always.

JoesAu · 01-10-2006, 06:51 PM

yeah its a ***** to get threw but hey its worth the bit of ****ing around.

JoesAu · 01-10-2006, 06:54 PM

bout time someelse did this, i show people with other fords and i tell em it makes a big difference but they dont listen. each to their own i guess go pay 300 for ss inductions wen i payed under 50 buks that probly rips that anyway.

poolkeeper · 01-10-2006, 06:56 PM

I noticed it pick up heaps straight away when I connected the flexi hose to the front, as before it was just sucking pretty warm air in from behind the lights.

Two Joe's with ram air intake lol.....

JoesAu · 01-10-2006, 07:00 PM

those tickford snorkels are pathetic. the car is so much more alive and responsive put it that way.

JoesAu · 01-10-2006, 07:02 PM

i recently disconnected the pipe just to do some tests on fuel usage, regardless of the fuel i had to put it back on the car felt shithouse without it.

poolkeeper · 01-10-2006, 07:03 PM

I just cant wait till I get my flash tuner, might get a cam aswell.

Baboon_AU · 02-10-2006, 12:29 PM

i would get a cam before i bother about tuning, and JoseAU, this is a forum not a chat room. no need to post multiple times just minutes apart. say what you have to say all in one post.

Good to see it's gone to a new home where it's fully appreciated (and at a cheap price too!).

JoesAu · 02-10-2006, 10:36 PM

yeah no worries mate.

AUTickford · 02-10-2006, 10:53 PM

Wot size is the flexi hose coz i had a look and the gap is pretty small to squeeze it through.

JoesAu · 02-10-2006, 11:28 PM

its 90mm -100mm cant remember, its at supercheap auto $24. Yeh its a bastard to get threw but worth it. Just be careful u dont break anything cos i got frustrated at it. I'll try to get pics up ok i got a new camer.

AUTickford · 03-10-2006, 09:46 AM

Thanx joe, ill,be off to supercheap today. Did u have to bend the brackets to get it in. After driving round with the holes in the airbox all i think is done is made a louder induction noise that sounds dumb, i will be blocking up the holes and running the flexi hose through.Haha this is all character building, and ive got shedloads of character :Reverend:

JoesAu · 03-10-2006, 11:00 PM

well i rounded off the sharp edge of plastic on the light assembly, you'l see wat i mean cos u'll feel it. What brackets are you talking about? i didnt bend any brackets. Yeah with this mod you'l notice the induction noise outside tthe car quite easy now. especially wen its cold. thers picttures of mine on fordmods forums, i'll get beter ones tommorow i forgot today.

AUTickford · 03-10-2006, 11:24 PM

I tried and could not get the flexi hose through under the light, is that the right way or not? Wiring harness etc in the way. Couldnt find it on fordmods

JoesAu · 03-10-2006, 11:43 PM

squeeze it pasts where the orange noby thing is behind the hi beam assembly, and in between the radiator support, its a 50-60mm opening, i hoping u have xr lights dont you???

JoesAu · 03-10-2006, 11:50 PM

tech doco's on fordmods. air box mod/speed holes the thread is called its at the top, i put pics on the 2nd page of that thread. i 'll get pics tommorow ok its hard to get goood shots of it, those photos on fordmods are taken with a **** camera, i got a mad digital camera the other day so they will be beter i figure.
