My CAI Box

[geno8r]

Hi

Well 2day i got of my ass & did something about my current HAI Hot Air Induction problem & made my cheapy CAI panel.

I started off with some cardboard & cut a ruff shape arond the Pod to what will be my CAI box,

I then went down Clark Rubber & bought some Heat Shielded Rubber & a 12 pack of Clarks Choice condoms *nar j/k* I then went to Bunnings & bought some 90mm Plumbers pipe & 2 * 45 Degree curves, oww & some aluminium flyscreen too.

Got home, hacked up the sheet of rubber based off the cardboard & fitted it in around the pod. I then cut out another piece & placed it ontop of the pod. I then attached the top piece of rubber with some wire attached in 3 places to keep it in place.

Next was to cut the pipe to the right length & place it under near the wheel with my hand, make sure it fits. Ok thats done, i want to filter the pipe too from all those flys & shit so i placed the flyscreen over the pipe & only thing i could really think off to secure it was a zip tie, so on goes the zip tie & then cut off excess flyscreen. I dont actually know how to secure this pipe under there yet so hopefully somebody might be able to suggest something.

Ok so its all done now? Drive time!!! The car was defiantly pulling very hard, much harder than what it was earlier but that might also be because it was another few hours later into the day when the air is a little cooler. 7psi was very fast but i thought i better try 12 pound anyway, 12 pound pulled like a muther f#cka & put it back down to 7 right away, i dont wana die yet.

So yeh, i'll take the car for a drive again tomorrow around 1, 2 pm when it is the hottest outside & I'll know for sure the difference in power. But im defiantly thinking theres going to be quite a noticeable difference. You can feel the heat on the outside of the panels & the bonnet is so much kooler over the pod now. It used to be really hot but now its just like light warm.

I've attached a heap of pics so u know what im on about. I went & showed my m8 & his chic & they went "ahhhh thats dodgy". I was all shutdown coz i was pround of it. I'd rather something that works better than it looks. Anyway this chics grandfather is meant to be a pro with sheetmetal so i spose i might end up getting something that looks better. But im very happy with it for now, just want that pipe attached in under there near the wheel somehow now!

rough up the pvc pipe with a file or coarse sandpaper and araldite the fly screen into place.

and don't drive through any big puddles or else you'll fu(k your motor.
