project in progress.

I have cut out the 90mm hole with chisel, blade, tin snips and a soldering iron.
That is all i have done because i am waiting to swipe some pipe off a job site. Already it has more power just with the hole and you can hear it sucking, so before the car would have been choking for air.

haha i remember reading this thread ages ago when it was like one page long.

makes me think i should have a go now and represent the VS community, i wouldnt mind trying flexible radiator coolant pipe and the small hole in the acclaim bar... cheers Stretch

Storm water pipe in a engine bay close to the radiator and motor ................. arrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh:b: you are braver men than me!

Interested to see if any warpage occurs from heat....

If any one is concerned, here is mine 9 months down the track... travelling approx 100kms a day. Being supercharged, the engine runs a little hotter, and has pulleys/belts closer to the pipe than a regular v6.

What it looked like first fitted is on page 2, post #32.
Update page 3, post #75.

i know dis is an old thread but its good what is the easiest thing to use to cut hole in the air box and where ezactly does it go

 

[vyaw2003]

i asked some guy and he said the more air you use the more fuel you will use, so they both cancel each other out. is this true?
