|N|'s DIY CAI

[Vivski]

My mate's got a MkII Supra with pop-up headlights. He wants to do a CAI but can't find a way to get air in. So we said just but headlights where his stock driving lights are and stick the pipe out the pop-up light. :P
He's far to attached to it to cut holes in it. Even if they are legitimate speed holes.

Lol, I don't think the engine would really like that too much.
You want it at the front so you get clean air and mounting facing forwards which gets air blowing straight in helps too. If you were going fast enough it'd be like a turbo, forcing air in.

Nick, great job dude... exactly wot i did! Great minds think alike hey? LOL.
Good ol DIY... that's the only way, hehe...

But i wanna ask, where's u resonator??? Did u take it out previously??

I did the exact same thing u did a few months ago, except i removed my resonator too, and other thing is my front bar (96-98 ek) doesn't have those vents... bugger. so mine's just sitting behind the bumper. here's my diy article from a while back

sorry, dun mean to hijack ur thread

[panda[cRx]]

who or what is a purple pig vinh?
i just got mine from clark rubber

[EK9]

i went to clark rubber in essondon/keilor and they didn't have any... they told me woulda been 30 bux per meter.

purple pig are a company that makes hoses and other industrial stuff, garden hoses, rubber piping, any kinda pump/air fitments u need they prob have it. there's one near my house... wen i went in they said "piping... for cai rite?", so yeah, they knew wot i wanted was 20bux/m, i only got 1m, was enuff for all dat.

interesting... ahaha im very surprised if u didnt lose any power...
haahahah honda made it right..
ahhahaha the 180"degree bend creates speed ... its all designed for a reason...
Only reason imm get cai is for sound

jsut my 2 cents

[|N|]

i think the purpose of that 180"degree bend u talkin abt is to min. intake noise...

ie. keepin it more quite... can someone say i m wrong?
