Air Induction Set-up

[lgonzalez]

Firstly, not sure if this is in the correct section so apologies if it is!

So on my tce I decided that I would try and get some kind of cold air feed to my induction cone. After seeing how the 197/200 after market setups look thought I'd see if the approach of moving the filter further towards the floor in the engine bay would help reduce heat soak, then thought I would refit my stock cold air feed induction pip back on and secure it so it is now directing air from the front of the engine bay/upper grill and scooting it towards the filter.

Any other tips on cold air feeds? Not sure if its possible with the space given to route one round the right hand side of the engine bay to somewhere?

Anyway, here is the end result. (Apologies for the dirty engine bay lol I'm reluctant to poke the jet wash in there to clean it off maybe need to get some damp cloth in there)

to me, it looks like the TB is sitting at the front on the engine? surely, you would be better of having the cold air feed sitting right at the front of the bay, rather than down under the engine?

i might be wrong cant really make it out from the pictures

the feed from the upper front grille is cr*p mate,it just leads in to a blocked off box in the top of the bumper and gets virtually no air from the grille what so ever

if you take the bumper off you can remove this box and line the feed up with the grille using some neoprene hose so it works a lot better

another feed here...

Ok cool, I'll look into that cheers Henderson.

And clio.ben, that's where the intake is the filter is attached to the original intake pipe at the back then runs through the turbo at the back to the standard intercooler down the behind the left of the bumper then into the throttle body at the front.
