First Pics - Prototype Intake

CarBoy - Yep that was me!

JazzR - Haven't seen any specific details on the Gruppe M. One thing is for sure though, it will leave you with a very light wallet - they are about $800-900! On DC5Rs the Injen intake (similar concept to that used on my car) makes more power than the Gruppe M.

Muli - I'm not 100% sure on the final length as there was still some cutting and trimming being done today to get the length spot-on - the production model still has to be made up. As for price, that hasn't been confirmed yet as there is still some decisions to be made regarding the filter to be used. As far as I am aware, all attempts are being made to make the kit competitive with the A'pexi unit (price wise).

This will be a 100% bolt-on kit though.

$450?
errrrrrrrr not for a custom kit.
but 4kw is a good result

My meaning is are there any space which can felt more cold air for more better result.
but overall it is good work after many dyno and pipes in different lengh done.

This won't be/isn't a "custom kit". It will be a buy it off the shelf kit. It is only "custom" at this stage because the kit is being developed as all off the shelf kits would start out.

I don't think there is any place cooler....as mentioned, the filter is shielded outside the engine bay and receives direct air flow from outside the car. You can't get any cooler than that. Did you have any any other thoughts on it? You need to be creative with the limted space we have!

Here are a couple more pics from today:

Hey Jus,

Are u selling these things? They looked perfect and damm good. I`ve just got myself an Apexi cone with a customised rubber big belly elbow, but the engine bay heat is too much for it for local temperature, think that your solution is most convincing and neat for its space constrain, and best using by Apexi pod. Issit possible to shipped it to Singapore without the filters( Apexi ) after U finished R&D it?? Hehehe.... :D :D :D

Looks great. I just would like to know about water intake, I doubt any water would get into the engine but is there a way to stop any water or condensation pooling at the lowest point of the pipe?

- Andrew

not the engine bay but water into the filter

Just my $0.02 cents,

If you carefully sealed up the intake area from bottom to sides and front with somekind of sponge material, and then DIY a ram air flex piping into the area for feeding some cool air from outside, think thats should be safe enough, thou not 100%. If in case encounter floods, definately have to turn back lah.. :D

Make a button in the car so when u press it, the pod moves to a different position so water can't get to it :D
