blitz supra Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I 've had a few PM from members asking for pics So for any NA peeps interested in making a Cold Air feed and heatsheild after fitting a Induction kit All this cost me less than £10.00 to make, and a remarkable difference, 1x Piece Alloy sheet (use existing 2x Airbox holes on Chassis leg) 2x House gutter pipe adaptors to pretty up the pipe ends 1x 73/75mm flexi pipe 2x Hose clips I have had the std box on and off a few times now, and mine definitely runs better with my HKS kit and these home made bits, With std Air box on my MPG is really down too strangely, Hoping to get Sam @ Turbofit to hook me up with a hard pipe from the induction kit – throttle housing next week , they have done a few for the guys already p.s Big Thanks to Holmer for helping me with Pic size problems Much appreciated mate :thumbs: Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Looks good. Uk rich has made some of these, albeit a slightly different design being more enclosed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Not bad i thought for less than a tenner and a few bits from B&Q !!! The difference especially at night or on a cold day is quite noticeable.

In independent tests, they came out out as the worst after market filter available due to their very poor filtration. The Apexi came out on top.

CJ is spot on with that, You'd think HKS being such a recognised company and expensive would make a decent filter, but these "mushroom" type filters are the worst, this one in particular, filteration is really poor, HKS Panel filters are the worst culprits, try and clean them as i did and you'll end up with just pulp in your hand... makes you wonder how much of the element disintigrates and goes into your engine!! My filter as per pic was a new filter but come cleaning time it gets binned for either a Apexi or even a decent Stainless mesh type (had a blitz one on the Fto and it was a good filter and easy to keep clean) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheild is a doddle only took 15 mins to make Just get your self a small peice of Ally sheet either fold a angle on it at the bottom or use a right angle section at the bottom, Drill 2x holes to line up with your old Air box mounting points and use a finishing strip to cover the edge and there you have.. Helped i suppose i got a blue Peter bage as a kid I suppose, got that for making a dalek out of screwball ice cream containers... :rlol: .... oh happy days..
