vz sv6 cold air intake power increase?

[greekgod]

hi guys dunno if this has been asked before...prob has somewhere....but anyway was wondering who has a vz sv6 and who has done the cold air intake on theirs and if so what type of power increase have you seen from 190kw?



thanks

if you completely remove the intake pipe, maf and airbox, stick a pod filter over the tb, there is no better cai then that...

seriously? search and you shall find.. this topic has been covered off on as much as exhausts and to your dissappointment.. the standard airbox is prob the best. unless you have $300 + to piss away for a placebo effect and 2 kw gain that you can feel at low rpm at the pedal (bullshit).

OR you could cut a massive hole in your airbox and labell it a 2 hole mod. its free...

I think thats what could only be described as a hot air intake. No cool air next to the throttle body without signicant mods to the radiator shroud. And where do you place the MAF?

[jayvz]

these people who buy these thing expecting to much are all being lead
normal sv6 air box
take of the intake pipe that leads to the under side of the bonnet
leave that 3 inch hole

cut a another hold next to it and a little more down the the corner and put a 2 inch pipe or a 3 inch pipe leading straight to the floor
same as anything else
your getting the push from floor to box
and your getting fresh cold air straight from behind the light

Or remove the ducting as said, cut the 2nd hole then fit the shroud off the Monaro that sections the intake area off from the engine bay.

Did this to mine, dunno about power gains but makes a nice induction growl.

A flow thru glovebox and racing mirrors are said to be good for 20rwhp.

I made one for mine it cost $45nz all up for a simota pod filter (i prefer simota over k&n) and a pice of free alloy and it made more of a diffrence then i thought a little low down mid range boost but up top it it works really well 158rwkw on the dyno and only other mod iv done is cut out the rear muffler.

so how did you do what is in that picture?? i was going to put a SS CAI on my car but i was told you can do it yourself and save a few hundred bucks at the same time

[OS-Mike]

You will need a box of beer (most important part lol) a pod filter that fits your maf sensor i cant rember the size something like 42mm a pice of alloy and a old door seal.

















Easy

looks tidy, gonna have to attempt this.

Have to drink a carton of beer first if I'm following the instructions correctly.

[Svu6]

Thats looks insanne

[Sv6 Commodore :)]

very nice job, wounder if its legal tho

[CRUSTIN]

if its fully enclosed its legal.

[mtharv]

Mate that is insane!! Good job
Any chance of a step by step write up

[Svu6]

Yeah please do what mtharv said. I would love to do this to my baby.

Similar to my shroud, just get a sheet of aluminium, and bend it, mine is screwed to the frame that holds the radiator just for a bit of extra support

[Ando227]

Haha. Well done on the self made one.

[OS-Mike]

Cheers guys yea i guess i could make a step by step how to. Iv got 4 days off work so ill make one in the next few days also got some dobi super low springs to put in the car this weekend. Im also going to have a crack at making some extractors because nobody sells them here in NZ anybody ever attempted this im working on about $500 and 2-3 days work im a mechanic so i have acess to all the tools required and my mate has a dyno that costs a box of beer to put my car on to work out power gains i might do a step by step for those to but they will be 100x harder then CAI. Normally you work out the primary lenght from the cam profile but with vvt im a bit lost any tech gurus know how to work it out.

[mtharv]

Mate your a legend! Looking forward to this write up

[Svu6]

Waiting on the write-up

[ivabiggen]

supa cheep has light gauge checker plate alloy sheets, they come in various colours as well.would be ideal ror this job.

[joshyewahh]

i got a growler like my mechanic has on his sv6. his was dyno'ed n it gave 3rwkw's extra. i didnt think it would make any difference but i can definately feel the flat spot in between 2000-3000 has gone now. so im very happy.
