Dave Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 What is the purpose of this on the underside of my intake pipe ,i dont think it can be any help to the airflow ,and was thinking of removing it and replacing it with a smooth piece of pipework .what do you think??????? Any help in getting a smooth airflow will surley help performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisSZ Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Fairly certain that they are both (there are two) resonator boxes - mine are due to come off and be replaced very shortly with something a little prettier :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 while we are on the subject of all things NA, which one is the PVC valve is it the one on the drivers side going into the intake pipe or the purple one on the passanger side going into the intake mani?

ChrisSZ Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Passanger side one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Both. And the resonator causes no pressure drop as it's an NA. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Both. That was my original thought, then I consulted the books and the passenger side one was labelled as th PCV whilst there seemed to be no mention of the driver side one. Also, glad to her that there are no problems removing the resonator boxes - as soon as I can find some ally pipework the correct diameter I intend doing mine :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 The one hooked up to the intake is the wide open throttle breather, the one hooked up to the intake plenum is the part throttle and vacuum breather -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisSZ Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 PCV pipe vented to atmosphere Apexi filter with vacuum pipe plumbed into it (note panel under filter missing:) ) The whole shebang Looking for the next little bling project now LOL The pipes came from these guys http://stores.ebay.co.uk/REGALS-MOTORSPORT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Nice mate just ordered apexi imduction kit. Do you know off hand the pipe dimensions needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 76mm from the throttle body. However, the end of the Apexi tube is more like 80mm. I cut some of it off (aboit 1 1/2") and used a piece of 80mm samco with the rubber from the throttle body stuffed inside it at one end to make a snug fit betwen the ally pipe and the Apexi :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I bet it also stops reversion...and so is a very good thing to leave in place, or replace with a blingier equivilent. By reversion I mean double reading the air at the MAF when the throttle plate slams shut. Without it you'll probably overfuel on lift off...which could induce stalling.
