Stock tubing is used? Quite a nice idea! How much fur did you have to sacrifice to get this?

euroaccord13: thanks for the lower arm brace ;) cheers~!!
LOL ! I had you all there didn't I Muahahaha...
Stupid me to put it in the Apexi SRI folder LOL!!!!
BusterSonic ---- You're Welcomed, hope the bar arrived intact LOL! Have fun with it too!!!
its a kebab..
oh w8 its already been revealed, my bad aarroonngg
hopefully if i get a few missing pieces by friday, i'll have something sort of similar when i turn up to the meet....;)
Im a bit of a noob with CAI as I havent found one I'd like to install yet and still waiting for Hondata ..ppffft
IS that is a good spot to get cold air?
It is a short ram - excellent for power gains in short spurts - eg on a dyno or a run on the 1/4. Even better than a CAI for peak power gains as the engine has to create less vacuum to suck in the same amount of air.
But in day to day driving it gets too damn hot in that Euro engine bay for this to be a good option. I don't think there is very good airflow in the engine bay to force the hot air out. Just my opinion.
But if I suspect correctly - Aarong knows that and has plans for some sort of shield and piping of cold air to the area.
nice aaronng! Had me fooled... and i thought EuroAccord13, was being honest when he said it was put under 'apexi SRI' to fool us... damnit! That flange really through me off though. Bet it sounds a treat :D
That plastic tubing is actually very good! It should pick up less heat than metal tubing.Quote:

So roughly how much was the whole thing?
Plus I imagine the filter is oil based yeah? So it also needs to be in a box for legal reasons.
I saw on acurazine someone fitted a filter directly to the OEM plastic pipe - it was a HUGE pod filter. I tried to find the link but the site is down again.
It's not good at all for cold air. LOL.
yfin is right, it's only good for artificially inflated dyno numbers (who drives with their bonnet up?).
I'll be making an enclosure for it from aluminium. It'll be a dodgy DIY. There will be 2 versions. One will be a Mi Goreng cardboard enclosure. Will be fun but I don't fancy setting my car on fire. The Mi Goreng enclosure will be used as a template for the sheet aluminium. Lots of rivets and rubber edging to seal it will be used. Dremel and drills are ready to go as well. Now... I just need to find the time.
