yeah your current cold air feed goes to the hole we ran our hosing through,you could just run 70mm hosing from the duct and into you current cold air feed to help it get more air than it currently does,would only need a short amount of hosing to do this too

You got a link to the adaptor I would need to downstep the sizing from 102 to 70mm , plus pm a price for reduced length please [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Great work but paired with wrong induction imo. Get it attached to an itg so it can make use of the cold air and you're on to a winner.

This would be great with the ITG kit [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

The idea behind it all was for people to couple it wot there own variations, this was never set to be for one type of intake, I'm using an idea in my head to run a cold air feed coupled with my mate running the ducts for his brakes, looks are not important only me or my mechanic will see the bay it's form and function over style.

In the three Marques of cars I've been involved in I never come across such an obsession for these expensive intakes.

I would like to see a car setup the exact same mods I.e kpro exhaust manifold etc but one running open cone like the typhoon and aem against the tegiwa thing and gruppe m, and have them managed on a laptop on live road mapping to see the peaks etc in performence rather than a sat still rolling road test.


I would care of the cone lost power over the other but if it was 5 maybe 10 horse for me so what, but I'm not really fussed for modding cars in that way anymore.

something like that mate would just be a case of looking about to find a company that does the right sizes.
personally id just run your current cold air hose and run 70mm hosing from the foglight and up into the air feed pipe you already have to save the hassle

Can your ducting accommodate 76mm caf instead, as there does not appear to be a 102 to 70mm adaptor...

i can't see it being an issue tbh,just tighten the jubilee clip and it will hold the hosing fine,or you could wrap insulation tape round the back of the cold air feed to make it closer to 76mm if you wished,its nothing id certainly worry about

[devil84]

True true, less than half a cm. pm a price please someone for the spare.

Yeah it may go well with the ITG I'm not fussed though really about making much gains I wanted to hear vtec crossover as the OEM box sounds crap, especially when my last two cars were loud as hell. The typhoon was cheap and does the job. I'm getting sick of hearing all these people harping on about expensive intakes it doesn't interest me at all so over priced it's unreal and anyone telling me they notice a few BHP difference is talking rubbish. Coupled with other mods like kpro and manifold I'm not arguing that a Tegiwa carbon thing will help towards making extra power.

However the majority of people don't spend all that money on their cars, and I for one have spent my thousands and thousands on my last two cars, I said with this one I wasn't go deep into it, and one thing I disliked was the lack of vtec noise.

The duct idea came when I see people using other intakes like ITG and AEM typhoon who may benefit from a cold air feed.

So I hope this solution is useful to those people.

The guy above talking about tacky, it's Flipping air ducting hose who gives a crap when the bonnets only up when I check the oil etc.

I get what you're saying mate, I really do but a second and ITG really isn't that expensive and would actually make use of the very good cold air feed you now have. Currently its probably doing f*ck all which is a shame.

You're right you probably wouldn't notice the extra peak BHP but you will find it revs freer and throttle response will improve. I certainly did with both my arm v1 and the tegiwa.

If I got one second hand cheap and flogged or kept typhoon I would give it go

[devil84]

Hi Mate, would I get away with connecting a 76mm caf to this duct? What is space like after the headlight to fog light? I am fine from itg to headlight (that is where my caf currently resides)'

Was there any reason you chose 70mm over 76mm (3 inches)...

I think you should get it behind. we used 70mm as we didn't need bigger, we were not going to a connection though like you.

I would say 76 will be fine you only need about a metre the neoprene is not that dear.

Can't see any ITG second hand non for a while, are they not over £200 brand new aswell?

[devil84]

Will this do the job?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-LAGUN ... 3137wt_722

Quite flecxible and can extend to one metres and presumably can collapse as required?

[cosmicmarc]

I would get this stuff if I were you mate, they do loads of different sizes as we actually went to the warehouse.

Why is that mate? The first one seems to tick all the boxes?

Flexible
Can expand up to one metere or contract as necessary
76mm tubing

What are the advantages of your link buddy? [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

From the fog lights to head lights, is there many bends that would require the caf to be flexible around tight corners? (I need to go out and have a look,..)

[cosmicmarc]

The one I put won't fray it's much tougher, it does bend and takes natural bends well. The plastic one you posted not strong if you ask me going through the Bend near the battery.

Fair enough, thing is, I got a strong two ply one currently that has already gone past the battery. The ineptention now is to connect my current caf to this new caf (whichever one it may be) , in either case, I am already past the dreaded battery.

Having said all that, would you still recommend your one, given that you have installed already... What is the space like underneath the battery and headlight area ... To the footlights duct,?

[cosmicmarc]

Thanks for the feedback appreciated, hope you get it hooked and working well, get some pictures up ad spread the word

Cheers Marc
