josh1990 0 Posted August 4, 2007 (edited) Me and my neighbours were looking at my engine bay and car in general, and one of them gave me a good idea, Ram air or sort of anyway. We were looking closely at my standard cold air intake to my air box, it was very restrictive, the pipe to my airobx was about 1.5 inch diameter, also the flange on the end of the intake was the width of a cassete tape Chocking the hell out of my engine (Black residue out of the exhaust). So we went to the local camerons Picked up a new filter (standard) Carb cleaner, crankcase breather, and some aluminium approx 3 inch duckting, about a meter in length. we then stripped out all the old cold and warm intake, we then cleaned the carb, then routed our new duckting in to behind were the foglight would go few tie raps and jubilee clips jobs a good un, cold fresh air. The sound changed to slight induction kit sound from standard air box. Great Mod, tell me what you think. Cheers Josh.

sutol 0 Posted August 4, 2007 (edited) Done something similar on a few cars. That is a good inexpensive way of doing it as the tube is easy to work with. Looks expensive as well I hope you bought the pipe at a builders yard (Heating duct) as it's cheap there. Edited August 4, 2007 by sutol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M@tt 77 Posted August 4, 2007 nice job just make sure you don't go through and big puddles with it being that low to the ground could find you hydrolock the engine if it gets past the filter!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
josh1990 0 Posted August 4, 2007 Very very good point what would you recomend some tites or somthing over the end of the pipe??? Thanks for the input Josh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

christopher 5 1 Cars Posted August 6, 2007 Sure you must be ramming loads of cold air in there......But what about those flies and dust? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,626 Posted August 6, 2007 Sure you must be ramming loads of cold air in there......But what about those flies and dust? thats the job of the filter. personally I preffer K&N, they do more filtering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christopher 5 1 Cars Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) thats the job of the filter. personally I preffer K&N, they do more filtering. I know but what I mean is...the normal air through the scoop behind the grill at least some kind of protection from files and grit but a scoop in the air stream could be more likley to collect debris and club up the fliter very quick. Don't you think? Edited August 10, 2007 by christopher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars Posted August 10, 2007 id say get one of those cheapo kitchen seives, and place a peice of it somewhere along the course of the pipe, that should stop anything substantial jumping up there and probably wouldnt affect air flow much either??

Anton green 12 1 Cars Posted October 6, 2007 Exactly the same induction I had to my K&N filter on my fiesta. tHE INLET WAS SAT BENEATH THE FRONT VALENCE facing forwards (caps locked apparently)and it lasted a year and a half before I had to rotate the air filter to a part without flies. DO IT! It made the fiesta A LOT quicker at higher speeds over 40mph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
