John's Nightmare

Here are some more pics of the engine bay. I sent off some more parts to be polished, and then just slapped it all together to get an idea of what it is going to look like. Need to do some cleaning under there....

I also included a shot of the cold air intake I did just for fun.

Can you go into some details about how you did your CAI?

I will take some better pics this weekend of it in pieces. (If I have time, I am going to China next week...)

Basically, it is a 90, flex hose (BRP supplied), BRP tube that was on the S/C (bracket removed), AFM, 90, aluminum tube, 90, filter... I had to get creative using smaller hoses as "filler" to get up to the 3" id stuff I wanted to use. The filter just slid into the 3" 90.

I cut a hole in the firewall as close to the fender as I could get, and as high up. I carefully bent the brake and clutch lines until I had enough room to get everything in there.

I have to remove it all to put the clamps back on, and I will break it down better and take pics. I get ambient air temps reported by the stock ECU via a Scangauge.

I'd really like to see a detailed write-up that I can duplicate. So, take your time and wait until you get back.

Thanks.

I agree. I'm totally interested in this setup. I can't stand the flex hose on mine running all the way back up to the front of the engine bay when there's a much nicer/cleaner way to locate that stuff.

With the intake right there in the cowl, the sound has got to be pretty awesome. When I was running normally aspirated, I fabricated my own version of the Randall intake and it really sang.

Parts List:

3 90° 3" id silicone hose (will need to be trimmed to fit)
1 1" long by 3" od aluminum tube (used to connect flex tube to 90°)
1 6.5" long by 3" od aluminum tube
1 Flex tube from kit cut to fit
2 1" long by 2.75" id silicone tube (used to fill gap with 3" id stuff)
1 3" long by 2.75" id silicone tube
7 3" hose clamps
2 2.75" hose clamps

Some of this was on the car when I bought it.

I had to bend the brake and clutch lines around to get the stuff in there. You will have to see the pics and compare to stock to see how it was done. Sorry that I did not take better notes while doing it. I also think that you will have to bend the heater hose stuff around to keep them from rubbing. I deleted my heater, so I am not positive about what I did in there.
I also got rid of the IAC, and cut that off of that bracket that hung on the S/C. I did run that until recently, so that part can fit in under the master cylinder with a little massaging.
