Cold Air Induction ( Inlets )

[tacker]

Step by step aproach.

1. big dose of boredom.

2. 2 x 76mm Revtec air outlet duct $37 with delivery.

3. 1 metre of 75mm flexible aluminum gas stove flue $20 for 3 metres i had some left over.

4. 80mm hole saw ( cheap multi sized hole saw for wood ) $8 from local hard ware.

5. 4 x self tapping screws $peanuts anywhere

To start with check behind the bumper to make sure there will be no nasty surprises when you put the hole saw through.

I checked and noticed that there is quite a large opening under the head light, to which i aimed the 2 ducts at so i could get them through the gap and under the pods. Which i should have measured first as its not big enough for 2 x 75mm ducts. I then removed a small strip of panel steel which is below the head light to make th opening larger. This was done with a set of tin snips and was 2 small cuts and i then had enough room for both ducts. I dont recommend this to guys with nice cars. You have 2 options at this point, either cut or just run the ducts to the point under the head light which points straight at the general pod area anyway. I think it would work just as well.

Once you are sure that you have enough clearence behind the bar put 2 x 80mm holes into the bumper ensuring that these holes line up with the natural open under the head light in case you just want to run the ducts to this point only.

Remeber to allow enough space between the 2 holes so the duct flanges dont overlap.

After the holes are completed i then pushed the ducting over the outside of the duct inlet enough so that when i pushed the duct inlet into position there was enough aluminium duct caught between the bumper and the flange of the duct inlet that would allow the self tapping screws to go through the duct and be pulled up tight between the outside of the bumper and inside of the duct inlet. Some small 3.5 mm holes for the self tappers screw them in and all finished.

Was no more than an hour from when i got the idea and completing it.

Have attached a pic of the package the duct inlet come in ( hope i dont get another warning ) and inside where duct end under the pods
