calum001 · Jun 2, 2009

is the ducting in the link below that i've seen a lot of people use smooth or ribbed on the inside ?

fil_b · Jun 2, 2009

trying to sort that out for mine

calum001 · Jun 2, 2009

just got myself a samco 90 bend so looking to the CAF now aswell and obviously it would be best if it was smooth on the inside (if not then there might be better tubing to use)

Jonny1*2 · Jun 2, 2009

for sure if it's smooth inside the air will flow slightly better, but it won't make much difference to be fare. That piping is fine. have a look on the bay too.

calum001 · Jun 2, 2009

yeh totally mate, just having a look about the now but as you said it prob wont make a huge difference especially as the CAF is 100-105mm which is pretty big

fil_b · Jun 2, 2009

i found this on ebay

fil_b · Jun 3, 2009

how much do you need from the airbox?? is a meter enough

Jonny1*2 · Jun 3, 2009

depends where you want to run it to mate. Probably would be enought though

fil_b · Jun 3, 2009

just down into the wheel arch

not many places you can run it

bomber · Jun 3, 2009

ph1 or ph2? too low to the ground and you'll be picking up tarmac heat in the summer. ive got mine on the ph1 coming through the slashes in the bumper on the passenger side. 1mtr will be plenty

fil_b · Jun 3, 2009

ph2 mine is

only other is to the front lower grill

bomber · Jun 3, 2009

yea not much else you can do on the ph2, unless u do as Quade and Markcup have done. its gone towards the front of the engine bay then across the front towards the drivers side and out behind the grill.

although that would only work with a cup lol, damn this is gay

fil_b · Jun 3, 2009

i know

unless battery relocation to free up room lol

will play weekend and fit it again

CSX · Jul 13, 2009

Quick bump found an espace airbox in a scrappy with part number 770 703 360/365 looked a bit big compared to the ones in the pics... i don't want this one right?

Yellow Dave · Jul 13, 2009

Don't know about the part number, but what espace was it off? needs to be a 1991 - 1997 2.9 v6 IIRC.

CSX · Jul 13, 2009

Problem is i don't know! No reg plates/badges or anything to give it away unless i can tell by the engine? :S

Air box was located in the left hand side of the bay, with a key ontop to get the lid of an filter element located inside. Air pipe underneeth the box and air pipe on the right hand side. Secured by a bracket around. No idea if this helps lol

Yellow Dave · Jul 13, 2009

Shouldn't be a key to take the top off the airbox to get to the filter element, just three metal clips around the edges. It is a big airbox and should only just fit infront of the rad. I'll try and take some measurements of the V6 airbox tonight and post up in the morning.

fil_b · Jul 13, 2009

its very big n round

see pic

CSX · Jul 13, 2009

This one was a lot bigger than that and the top was different

bugger thought i was in luck lol

Thanks saves me wasting money/time.

LEE_05 · Jul 21, 2009

so would i have to re-locate my battery if i put a v6 box in ?

franx · Jul 21, 2009

no you do'nt . Helps to choose a more easy route for your caf though with the space created .

The TB-elbow will probably need to be shortened or else the box will be wedged up against the rad; very tight fit. I got a aftermarket bend one and cut quite a bit off

stuart1989 · Dec 1, 2009

Right, just ordered a new V6 Airbox through the stealers, got a few questions, wheres the best place to buy CAF ducting from? Also where shall i run it, ive got a 182 Cup, if that helps..

Ali · Dec 1, 2009

Waste of money!! (hope you ordered the right v6 airbox!)

Route to the edge of the lower grill, remove acoustic valve! Don't cut into grill. No need and it looks pisch!

bomber · Dec 1, 2009

just seen you have a cup after replying to your PM stu, run the caf across the front of the car like markcup has done.

Ali, why a waste on monies? worked wonders on my car and RR proven

Yeah i got the right one, used the codes quoted from off here

Wasnt going to cut the grill, but was thinking of taking it to the arch liner where the original one routes to? As for the Acoustic Valve, isnt that a bumper off job?

marinemackay2003 · Dec 1, 2009

nah no bumper off just take the passengers side wheel off, then remove the plastic wheel arch liners, and its there attached to the end of the air feed

easy job

Cant run it across the front, theres no room. Mines a 182 cup remember

Think im best off taking this route :

Just need some ducting now...

smitchell1 · Dec 1, 2009

One of the best mods iv made on mine!!

Got pics of your setup?

smitchell1 · Dec 1, 2009

Yeah but they are all at home, il pop some up later on.

bomber · Dec 1, 2009

it will fit if you remove the fuel rail guard.

but you will burn if you crash...

edit: of course it wont fit, still got AC crap in the way hasnt it

Not sure if that sounds a good idea, is it easy to remove like, im no mechanic

Im taking the car round to my dads mate on the weekend to get my oils changed (he works for renault) so i could get him to do it, going to ask him to take my acoustic valve off for me while hes at it..

edit : just seen your edit, i was thinking that...

bomber · Dec 1, 2009

it's 2 nuts to take it off, so easy as pie. the a/c is the only concern, cant remember what it looks like

Because in reality the std airbox is more than sufficient...

What did you gain out of curiousity?

bomber · Dec 1, 2009

i know its cheating a bit lol, but....

made 172.4bhp when i got the car on piperx carbon air filter crap thing and ktec exhaust

then with V6 airbox, ITG filter, matched inlets and samco 90' bend, on the same rolling road it made 192.5bhp

it certainly revved easier and made some kind of difference

smitchell1 · Dec 1, 2009

My car made 161hp in standard form, once id added matched inlets, ktec supersports exhaust, rs tuner remap and v6 air box i made 171hp, not bad for a N/A car. The torque curve is so much smoother and it held peak power for longer with the mods.

berniebern · Dec 4, 2009

I’ve read on the trophy forums that I may need the Ph1 bracket that runs from just behind the battery to the front of the car in order to hold the box in place. Is this true? I can’t see anyone here doing this. Just looks as though it’s bolted to the elbow. Has anyone had problems with it being dislodged from hard accelerating?

Daz. · Dec 4, 2009

tie wraps are your friend

bomber · Dec 4, 2009

if using a samco hose, this is by far strong enough to hold it in place so long as you use jubilee clips
