Cold air feed, look OK?

[weekesj]

Finally fitted the feed to my modded air box! Hows it look? Heard few rumours of them sucking up water from BIG puddles?!

personally I wouldnt have it that low, but your decision

Why not?

 

[weekesj]

...Surely the lower the more dense, cold air?

 

[DJ Walkers]

prob for the reason you stated about puddles

 

[weekesj]

I'll have to beware off puddels then! Not that i go blasting through them like a rally car anyway!

 

[Chris3boro]

yeh just cos it looks bit vulnerable, but on other hand, its almost summer so SHOULD be safe. Can give it a try and see what u reckon.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. I think smoothing the air box and using a bigger feed has made a pretty good difference to standard, considering price involved! And I'm still using the standard filter at the moment, will go green cotton next month.

you shouldn't be driving through puddles that cover the front lower part of the bumpeanyway, and if you do you've be slowly so no danger at all of sucking a puddle up that length of pipe. I did the same on my LCR and never once had any water in the lower part of the air box when examined after a wet drive, it didnt even suck up spray.

So long as you get the filer back in place to seperate it from the intake pipe you'll be fine, and stay away from 200+mm puddles (aka rivers) or at least take a canoe with you ;-)

Roof rack and canoe coming soon!

my actual air filter is in that position, on a colder day the car picks up alot more

 

[Chrisdaman]

i had mine in the same place on the mk2, and like shantybeater said, on a cold sunny morning you could feel the difference

I'd be tempted to open up the duct at the airbox end, something like this:

 

[weekesj]

Yeah i did want to cut the feed open, but it was getting pretty late and dark!

Doesn't the filter get clogged with dirt?

 

[cuprachrissy]

weekesj does yours dump that loud? just done the same to mine but with viper forced air induction (i dint buy its from previous owner before any1 says "its too much money for what it is!")cheers

How much more dense do you think a 2foot is going to make the air?

 

[Cuprajohn]

^^^^^^
this is what i was thinkin, surely any cold feed is going to make a difference how close to the ground is not going to make any odds

im pretty sure you have meant to be facing the air feed backwards in the wing, rather than forwards and down below

theirs a high pressure point at the bottom of your windowscreen that feeds into the wing at the back, plus the air is less turbulant so more maf friendly

took the words right out of my mouth the denser/better air is in the stock air feed location, its just the little snorkel type thing which is restrictive
