Any pics going out there?

simb

 

Been on the car for 2 years now... still looks/works great

 

Thanks Frayz, Your car's comming along well mate.

Did you have to do any cutting behind the cover?

 

No cutting on mine mate, obviously just had to cut the fog cover and used black RTV sealant to seal in the stainless port.

Once that was done i had the lot painted.

Looked like this when i was making it.

 

you know those cheap bass boxes.. with a port in them..... well..
-remove the port
-cut hole in cover
-place port through hole
-jubilee clip from behind
-run pipework to filter

 

Thanks Frayz and Sarnyboy

I've picked myself up a P1 fog cover as thats ideal to convert to a cold air feed, I was hoping the port could be attached to the inside of the cover, as opposed to the outside (more of a flush look), just worried the piping is going to fowl on the metal frame behind the cover?

Excellent boys, what did you use for hose and what size please?

 

fog cover air duct from ets racing, i used a foil type flexi hose.

 

No issues with it sucking up water in heavy rain/puddles? Is the hose routed to the airbox inside the wing or to a aftermarket filter inside the engine bay? On a classic could you use the little grille under the indicator instead? Not sure where that goes to be honest though.

 

Gonna be to an induction kit.

 

I ran mine previously directly into a sealed airbox with no issues in rain at all.

 

it dont matter if a bit of water goes up there, it will get vapourised before it hits the turbo anyways

i think the duct you refer to under the indicator is the one that feeds the brakes cold air?

 

few more if you veiw my scoob. no issues at all

 

Great guys, getting some really good feedback

 

So can you actually feel a difference when fitted? I guess you get a ram effect at speed, does the MAF/ECU handle it OK or is it best to have it mapped after fitting?

 

you wont feel any difference from it. if you remove the resonator box in your wing you will get more induction noise.
instead of drawing warm air from the engine you have cold air.
yes its just like ram effect.

Maf will be fine as the engine will still be drawing in the same amount of air only it will be colder.

dont need a remap for doing this but after all the other bits you do then get a remap, every little helps

 

Bob Rawle did advise me to get this done, so about time I got round to doing it!!

 

If you feed the duct direct to the airbox that is sealed you will need a map as the air pressure inside the box increasaes with speed.

And yes it makes a noticeable difference in air temps measured at the MAF.

 

Frayz, is your bumper the same as a wrx bumper? could i buy the fog covers and fit them to my wrx

fitting a front mount and want to do same sort of thing

 

Frayz, stunning work as usual

 

No mate the Prodrive edition bumper is completely different. To use my fog covers you would need my bumper too.

Cheers Kev

 

cheers mate, back to the drawing board

 

This is how i had my ducting when i used to run the OEM airbox



Dave, heres what the Prodrive bumper looks like without the fogs.

 

Just remove the inside Morrette Si. Better path and no cutting required

 

I would love to do this if the bugeye morettes looked nice, id have a set.

Always thought about making a headlamp duct like the drag skyline boys do

 

cheers frayz, got same set up as you had with pipe routing but now im putting on a front mount i think the pipe work will get in the way. dont want it to look messy so want to cover it up.
dont really want the mesh covers on there. was just thinking of different ideas

 

Do the FMIC Dave and paint the inlet port to match the car it will look subtle and less fussy.

 

I forgot about yours Si
