This might sound stupid as I don't know much about intake set ups, that would go from "engine"(I think u guys call it throttle body?) then to a pod filter? Or is that from the filter to bumper hole somewhere?

Basically. But it ya got a gpx you may need to do some modifications.

Yeah I have a gpx. Btw was that a yes to first or later of what I said? Between engine and filter. Or filter and grill?

You may need a custom pipe from the tb to the filter if you want the filter to be at the location of your current air box

Ok so i got my pipes in the mail today and are just waiting on the carbon fibre to do up a box.
What im thinking though, is that since the bar im putting on (dwaynes last blended bar

) has a slight clearance over he stock one in the middle where the lip raises itself a bit, i might be able to fit like a NACA duct to fit flush with the lower lip edge have it run completely under the radiator/condenser and have it run upwards into the box, where it will go to the TB.
All i can do really is mock everything up and trial and error on the road i guess, hoping that this will be a viable option though, just not keen on it running right under the real hawt radiator, and the clearance would be real tight, not enough for a proper shield, hoping that since carbon holds no heat that it gets past this, im just not sure how large the intake hole would have to be as it would be like a really smooshed pancake lol, no where near a circle

Im that interested i might throw the stock job back on, and dyno before and after with a nice pod on, just for sh*ts n giggles of seeing the difference all that money has made (jack all lmao)

Dont you just love revived threads?

For best performance, connect it straight from the extractors to your throttle body.

OMG dont listen to Phunky! you don't connect it from your TB to headers......you drill a hole in the bottom of your sump and connect it to your TB from there.....

might aswell connect it to my a/c to maximise air flow

^ Yes! Thats it! That way, you get a true "Cold Air Intake" system

You will lose more power running the AC than gaining from the cold air

Word has it- Has been trial and tested with pleasing results in Targa rally, using upgraded A/C pressure switch.
A bit concern on the amount of cold moisture thats going in the throttle bodies.
Is anyone nice enough to lend me their car to try it out?

We've been playing with intake pipes & heat sheilds since before this forum started almost 10 years ago

And for pretty much a full DIY on battery relocation to the boot, have a look through my turbo build thread from around page 4 -8 from memory.

Actually apparently some small Jap cars do this.. lawso was saying something about it in his swift, and rather than some air going through the exhaust system, its diverted back into the air intake for a second time. Sounds like

to me but then again I wouldnt be surprised if it was true.
