As i know alot of you are aware of the "U" shaped piping in the EK Air Box, is there a pipe which can replace that to a pipe that comes down for Cold air? would it do anything? or would it just be as good to remove the "U" piping and let air flow straight from the bottom of the box.?
just cut that u thing in half so it draws air in from behind the bar.
read hot 4's magazine.. they featured making ur stock box into a cold air intake many many times
I took out the U shape pipe, make a hole on fount pumper and get a 3" prastic pipe to feed the cold air into the box.....very effective indeed.
PS:To maximise the effect of CAI, u can take your right hand side head light off!!! :D
go to like a hardware store and make up some custom shit.
usually consisting of cable ties and duct tape. :) i got this on my eg into a EG6 stock box, should be similar to your eK. these are old pic, its a bit different now.
i cut a hole in the front bar where the fake 'brake duct' is, blah blah just use some common sence when making some ducting up.
i know these pics look ghetto but least it works

but thanks for the input guys!>.. just one mroe question which came to mind alot of CAI head out in a grill or somehting, how about if i just customise some pipe which heads to the ground would it be just as effective or atleast suck cooler air than it would normally would with the "U"

pipe need to face to the fount (not towards the ground)........so when the car move, air suck in.

man, up here we get like terrential down pour and it floods..
like the rain in jurassic park lol.
no water has ever gone all the way up the pipe into my filter, the 'ribbed' pipe i think helps allot with that so not sure if you should really get that pipe or what, but mine stays drier than a nuns ****. ;)
um, yeah... great way to put it dude :pQuote:

*IF* water did get into the pipe, and up the pipe and into the filter, wouldn't the filter stop it anyway, hence filtering it ? :P
haha... don't think it'll 'filter' out the water james... just cleans the air. ;)
how much hp would this increase?
For a breeze, 300hp at the REAR wheels. Just kidding, prob just a few hp up high in the rev range.
hahaha... still haven got the time to do it yet... :o ... busy with exams mate... can i just ask where did u get the pipe from? and when i do make this setup.... should i leave a gap btn the pipe and the stock air box? or should i stick it rite into the airbox... so it gets all the cold air?Quote:

One sharp knife.......5 dollars
3" plastic pipe........30 dollars
Have a CAI on you car......Priceness :D
DIY CAI is very easy.....For EK just take away the factory U pipe (located under the factory airbox).....make a hole in your pumper, fit the pipe in......all get done less than 1 hr

also another prob. how shud i keep the pipe in the rite position..??
I tried to buy some of that piping and the only ones they had were pipes with slits on them everywhere to drain water or something. You gotta buy like a 20m roll too. Where'd you get yours?
i got an EG, after the air box theres a maze of pipesQuote:

so now i still haven't got piping :( ... anyone got sum leftover in melb?? i'll pay for it.. i'll even do a diy write up if i get my hands on sum piping this week :D
3" piping? Autobran man...........just tell the staff u want to do the CAI.....normally they charge $40 for the pipe but X'mas may have special discount! :D
40 bucks? i ain't paying that... i dun think a piece of plastic piping costs that much!
i'd rather buy 20m of it for 30 bucks at bunnings den split it wif ppl on here... hehe :D
hahahah, vinh get the 20m, i'll split it wif ya, then u can distribute some to melbournians, and ill sell some to sydney ppls...... ;p
hey guys try to go to a plumbing place,
like some where that does, irragation, spas, pools, kitchens etc.
dont get that shit with the holes in it. that shit is gay :thumbdwn:
If you get the stuff with hole is in you can just wrap tape around it to seal it up. You'll find most plumbing places will sell the stuff by the mtr
Hey EK9! I'm in Melbourne, I'll split it with u if u can get ur hands on it :)Quote:

Can you bring some on OzHonda cruise? :D
trav... i want that pipe...
Hey guys.. on the subject of airboxes.. How the hell do you put the stuck one back in?? There are two screws on top and then a rubber snap on thing down the bottom. I cant seem to get the rubber back in... do u push down from the top? or slide in hard from the side? anyone?
guys, i'm gonna go check out sum places today or tmrw... so if it's cheap, i'll buy sum extra. can melb ppl and those going to sorrento cruise this sunday let me know if they're interested? pm me... sorry if i'm going o/t
vtc: ok, u mean the ek air box? like u said, there's 2 screws near the strut i think... the only rubber thing at the bottom i know is the one that sits on a screw. it just sits on there, no need to jam it in or anything. it's pretty easy to put in, no dramas... hope that helps.
It just sits ontop?
really.. i thought its suppose to snap in or sumtin.. its a rubber piece.. im sure you have to lock it in but goddam its hard!
For 99-00 owners.. when you run the cold air from the side vents.. do u have to cut a hole in the plastix to line it up with the hole of the stock box?
really? its ghetto man, ill get u some if u want, but shipping will be gay...Quote:

a DIY thread and some discussion on it.... should answer ur question
I've done that too, except my bumper doesn't have space where I need it, at the moment it leads to underneath the bumper but I'll get around to cutting out a hole for it. A mate of mine even installed a small fan to increase air flow and also offers slight filtering.Quote:
