Designing CAI Setups Sat, 10 July 2004 06:40 Go to next message
Hello All,

Well I've been playing around with the idea of doing a CAI setup for my car and have tried this set up out so far.

http://img46.exs.cx/img46/6678/topview.jpg

I took a trip down to the local electrical whole sale supplier and grabbed me some Aircon ducting. I enquired on where I can find me some of this stuff.. and they replied "how big is your turbo?" haha

So far its just a front setup to the stock airbox to keep it almost legal (are cai's illegal/defectable?)

It replaces the runner pipe to the inner gaurd. I have enlarged the intake hole on the body by drilling about 5-10cm away to make the new duct fit removed a screw from the inner water gaurd and run the duct down to the front as shown.

what are other possible places or mounting positions that can be done? im thinking of relocating the intake duct to the passenger air splitter on the front spolier to make it less visible. what are your thoughts?

in my opinion what you have done is ugly, i hate people that do that (nothing against you though).

now your idea is right but what i would do is run the ducting into the bar next to the number plate. do you see in your third photo the bar and plate how there is the gap? well have the ducting run there

that way it is not visible and cops cant say a thing, hell they wont even notice its there AND the air flow will be exactly the same as where you have it now.

CAI is a great idea and I am working on something for my car at the moment.

My only advice would be that if (if it ever rains again) you drive through a large puddle (not necessarily as deep as your pipe either) your engine may ingest some water and suffer hydraulic lock. Probably try and get the intake as high as you can to prevent this from occuring.

I have seen the aftermath of a 4AGE that swallowed some water, not good, and the CAI inlet hose was in about the same position as yours too.

Good work though Smile
