Cold air feed for induction kit

[twistedblack69]

Hey all, just thinking of getting/making a cold air feed to fit in the hole in the bumper like so:



Was just thinking of getting some of that flexible corrogated metal tubing stuff, was wondering if anyone's done this or had any ideas on how to go from the tube to a square end kinda thing that'd fit in said hole

Might have issues with water going into your airbox from there?

I'd fix it to the main grill personally, if at all

[twistedblack69]

Surely that would be as bad, if not worse, as the water would only have to travel across to the airfilter, whereas if it's low, it would have to travel vertically up the pipe, which is gonna be harder for it to do

i.e. are you making a homemade induction kit? if so what filter are you using?

Yeah but if it's low down its constantly getting spray from the road, especially if you go through puddles.
You'll probably be fine but it's just something I'd watch out for

would do the trick.

Cookiemonster, was planning on making a homemade one, but might just get one from Halfords or something. At the mo, have a K&N cone, but thinking of going drilled airbox with Pipercross panel filter

Jamrock...I did see that, I don't understand whether it sits behind the bumper or in front, and it's a bit pricey

I wouldn't be too worried about water ingress. I ran my 306 like this for years,

LMFAO surely that defies the point of having an induction kit?? Wouldn't all the air have dissipated by the time it reaches the end of all the piping lol??

How on earth does air dissipate, dissipate into what, the air? What do you think the point of an induction kit is exactly?

All it is, is a fancy cone shaped air filter with slightly less restriction than a standard panel filter (and thats not always true). The common problem associated with induction kits is heat soak, hot air, blah blah blah.

Its forced induction for a pikey, forced the sense that 70 mph winds might be greater than the intake vaccum but more than likely not

Your just jealous
