Cold air short ram

[GAZOOM]

Thanks guys for your comments.

I have changed my mind about the bonnet scoop as i saw one this morning on a Nissan Exa. Just doesn't look right.

Plus the fog light method everyone is talking about is a far cheaper alternative I think.

I think a Pug 206 style bonnet vent would work best rather then a scoop, a scoop on the side would look out of place.

[Slurdog]

I have been thinking of doing exactly the same thing GAZOOM.

I'm going to play around with some designs and get some quotes done by fabricators. Im set on getting a side mounted scoop, which if done right, wouldnt look out of place. Yes, that chunky SSV thing would funny, but an intergrated scoop would look sick I reckon.

[MR22ZZ]

remember there is a high positive pressure spot generated at the back of the bonnet (hence why they have the A/C inlet vents there) and I've seen it used to great effect in some cars.

Remember the old XW Falcon GT's had a scoop off centre and that looked pretty good. I guess if the design is right then it would look pretty good

That was also sealed off into a box where the carby was ;)

This will work

What a rip off 50 pounds for a piece of duct !

And that installation pic is a joke - that car would be working better with a standard airbox because the inlet tract is far too long now.

Agree but thats not where I would feed it

No thats one of those chad little conned fllters with an extension, your filter will still get engine heat. What you have to understand is that even if you have a pipe or cut a whloe in your bonnet to your filter, you will still suck in engine heat. You need to box it off so the cold air is trapped somewhere and little or no engine heat gets in. Basically box it off, run a pipe or two under your headlight and suck cool air from your bumper.

If its not boxed your only really getting minmal cold air, as well as wasting money.

This one would be cheaper. Only AU$44.35 not including postage. But I don't think it's long enough to reach the front fog light...

Ok did a bit more home work and found these

Man this is just my opinion (so dont get angry), but I think if you really want CAI you should just sell ur SRI and buy a CAI instead of spending money and cutting holes in bonnets (etc..) which you cannot undo if you want to sell stock oneday anyway. Now I know you want to be creative and don't want to think about how much that guy on ebay screwed you over but I think you'll be happier in the end if you just cut your losses n swap ur SRI for a true CAI ;)

I appreciate your comments mate.

I think at this stage I quite enjoy driving th car with the AEM SRI.I love the sound and the throttle response has improved but just keep me away from a car that has a CAI so I dunno what I am missing.

Since I have been reading up on the SRI I guess I am trying to maximise the SRI to make work more efficent.

But I have gone off the whole cutting the bonnet thing. So most probably stick with boxing the pod and feed it with cold air DIY

No worries champ, thats fair enough; I admire your resourcefulness (I'm not much of a practical person lol )

Yeah I quite like your stubborn resistance GAZOOM. Nobody else has any crazy SR set up like that (at least not that I've seen)

Remember the old XW Falcon GT's had a scoop off centre and that looked pretty good. I guess if the design is right then it would look pretty good

No Falcon ever looked good - ever

[BanGn]

the gruppe M intake has an inlet at the bottom of the windscreen where the air is like a 'vacumn'..

maybe you could make something like that.. Gruppe M costs $1500 :P

Yeah I could never really see what the GT-HO looked like Jimmy. I could only ever see it's tail lights rapidly dissapearing in the opposite direction :P

That's more like it. Then have a flexible pipe running up from below your headlight into that box. Also it's best to use the insulated foam like rollamods said, As the aluminium that person used will still heat up.
