crikey couldnt be any easier could it! well ive already got an adaptor and some pipe so halfway there! your pics are great man got a good plan in my head now!

so did you just use a 80mm hole cutter to cut through from the engine bay into the scuttle?

cheers for that!

[ThRaXaIR]

also have you got a soft windscreen wiper tank in there? i can see a bag? cars not at my house so i cant run out and check how it all fits.

[speed]

ah yes sorry it needs a soft bag, iirc £30 ish from merlin motorsport.
some people use a wash bottle from a nova as its small but imo it will not fit with the tvr filter

as for the hole you will prob have a 80mm in your elec holesaw kit, lucky you lol
i drilled small holes all way round then filed it :cry:

[ThRaXaIR]

o you poor boy filing out holes FTL! i may have one knocking around, def got a 100mm one.... :lol:

cool i'll look into getting a washer bag then.

cheers

[ThRaXaIR]

i have no idea what i said in that first sentence and can now not remember what i meant either?! lol

[ThRaXaIR]

are the bends a 45degree and a 90 or 2 45's?

[speed]

im sure i had 2 45s

[raviedavie]

so whats the widest filter you can put in there then ? im not personally a fan of foam filters and was thinking about a powertec but they are 150m and 200m in diameter would that go ??

[summeh]

im not personally a fan of foam filters

Why not?

[Coops]

150mm should fit i think, no idea what size i used in the end, was a caterham one for a pinto engine.

i did the same pikie drill session aswell and filed the hole out, primed the bare metal and sprayed up the hole body coloured then lined it with some silicone vac hose split down the middle.

nova washer bottle as said, from saloon model so only one pump hole but that suits me fine as car doesnt have rear wiper. renault o/e pump slots straight in. was 5 quid inc delivery, ebay job.

pipework on mine is different due to turbo so go with what speed says 8)

[raviedavie]

so what size pipe would i need then ( length wise )

[Coops]

not a clue, buy a metre and chop it down?

[summeh]

is 80mm pipe wide enough for a long run? might be tempted to go for something with a bit more gurth myself? :lol:

[raviedavie]

just a heads up people im looking into making a few of these kits up if anyone is interested.
It will consist of

throttle body adaptor
silicone elbows
mirror polish steel pipework

so all you'll need is to add your own filter.
just gauging interest really 8)

What are the benefits of doing this conversion over the standard airbox?

imo the standard airbox looks better

[MAXIBOY]

cooler denser air..more power..

[Brealbags]

I wouldnt have thought it would make that much difference. im probably going to try it though eventually
