Welcome to the f**king old FTO Australia forums!!
https://ftoaustralia.com/v3/
Yep i agree with u Aza, Thanks for the infoaza013 wrote:The way that the cai is set up won't suck hot air in as the opening is so close to the factory feed point sh*t it's almost stuck down the factory holl lol.
Having the twin feed will work well as any hot air around that area would be pushed away.
So it should not loss any kws at all.
Your air will still pass through your stove hot plenum and runners..FTO_GPvR wrote:Yep i do have it on but its not connected straight up to the K&N Apollo, its connected up another way because i got the UAS Air Intake on and thats a big Intake and with the reducers there it pushed the K&N Apollo so i had no room to connect that part up.Pomwa wrote:Same filter im running and i've had no complaints yet
Although you dont seem to have the front of the intake rigged up to take in air outside of the engine bay? This is mine below with what im talking about circled in red:
Without that set up once you're off the dyno with the bonnet closed you'll just be sucking in (hot) air from the engine bay, and i'm tipping you'll see those extra KWs disappear pretty quick...
But instead of having one air feed like you said i have 2 air feeds now. I kept the orginial air feed that was already on my FTO and i also put in the K&N Apollo air feed that came with it on to my FTO as well. The K&N air feed is also facing the K&N Air filter but you cant see it in the picture. Both the Air feeds is directly facing the K&N Air filter, so its sucking in the cold air with the bonnet closed.
Pulse Racing said that this is the best way to have it because its sucking the cold air in from 2 places and the reason why its not gonna be sucking in hot air is because its right in the corner and thats where the 2 air feeds are, so they would be blocking the hot air out. And i wont be losing any KWs. You have to see it in person so you could understand it probably because i dont no what i just said then made sense or not lol.
With you, you got a good setup. Your sucking in the cold air from your air feed but when the air gets into your intake and since your intake has steel piping, the steel piping is going to get hot from the engine heat, which is going to be making the cold air hot again and by the time is goes into the throttle body, your just gonna be sucking in the hot air. With the UAS Air Intake this is not gonna happen because of the really thick rubber it has, its gonna be blocking out the hot air and only sucking in the cold air. Im not saying this to annoy you or piss you off or what so ever, Im just saying this because this is what i have read on this forum and thats what some other people have said that will happen. So hopefully no harm done mate
Thanks mateRallyMad wrote:Nice work mate, what exhaust mods have you got for that power?
Awesome then, I think I really need to stick mine on a dyno before I stick my CAI on then.....cause I think I'm down on power 
disobeying the law by doing performance mods on your red p's aye?FTO_GPvR wrote:Thanks mateRallyMad wrote:Nice work mate, what exhaust mods have you got for that power?
None lol i have done no exhaust mods yet. I still have the stock exhaust on my FTO. The CAI Setup is my first performance mod.
Yeah that would be good because then you would get to see how much KWs your FTO has when its stock, then after u install your CAI u can see how much KWs u gained from itRallyMad wrote:

shame shame shame
Im not disobeying the law mate, according to the RTA website were aloud to have performance mods done to our vehicles as long as it doesnt extend over 15% of the stock engines power. So say your FTO has 100KW stock, your aloud to have an extra 15KW bcoz thats not going past the extra 15% of the stock engines power.
You also have performance mods done to your FTO on your P's to. You have a CAI and Exhaust System haha. So if your saying im disobeying the law then that means your also disobeying the law to mate 
It further clarifies in a separate article that only modifications requiring an engineers certificate (ie. engine conversion) are prohibited.Tippin wrote:well ive never heard of the 15% condition
nsw rta site simply states your not allowed to drive any vehicle with modifications which increase engine performance

Yep thats true to, ive read that to and thats on the RTA website where i saw the 15% performance rule.pete_gpx wrote:Performance modifications on your Ps are perfectly legal, as long as they are not extensive enough to require engineering or a mod plate.
Not allowed to modify a vehicle on your Ps to have greater then 15% performance then standard? Link me to an article on the RTA/QT website which states that as one of the P plate restrictions.
On your link it says we cant drive any vehicles with modifications that increase engine performanceTippin wrote:well ive never heard of the 15% condition

You would barely feel 10kw's in the rear world. I don't understand how an FTO loses 30% of its power through its FWD drive train. I'm saying this as I read a magazine on an EF Falcon getting 155kw stock on a dyno.RallyMad wrote:Nice work mate, what exhaust mods have you got for that power?

I know im in qld but still.. Did you install it all yourself or get someone else to do it for you?Correct me if i read that wrong but doesnt the guideline on that part mean the capacity/engine displacement ? and not the actual power(kw) ?FTO_GPvR wrote:Yep thats true to, ive read that to and thats on the RTA website where i saw the 15% performance rule.pete_gpx wrote:Performance modifications on your Ps are perfectly legal, as long as they are not extensive enough to require engineering or a mod plate.

This is the link that i saw it from scroll down to page 2 and where it says examples of minor modifications are
http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/ ... v_2007.pdf
EDIT: I just had another look at the site and i read it wrong, my bad. It says you cant increase your engines capacity by more then 15% without the need of a engineers certificate.
