Tigz™ Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Thought you may be intrested in this a saw on Porka.same type of fitment as Darren has done, but of course Darren didn't chop his engine cover.I seen this type of thing on a 1400 as well, looks really good.Not a red pipework fan, but the rest looks great.thoughts? border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Looks pretty neat that. One question though, do these people do these installs themselves? I'd love a BMC come end of warranty, however although I could probably do a basic fitting, theres no way I could do something that neat and tidy, or fit an oil catch tank (is the experts opinion on that mod important to go with the BMC do you think) or make sure that the cold air pipe is nicely routed down into the from bumper so it actually takes in cold air.

stevewp Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 That is absolutely perfect. If you didn't know better you could think it was a standard install from the factory. Very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryn Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Shouldn't be a problem if you have enough patience I guess. The engine bay is essentially the same right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 similar but different. not enough room for that engine cover in the lupo i dont think.... its time and money... if you got both and some skill this is easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryn Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Looking at it again that really does look good. The elbow and hosing looks like Samco/Sparco stuff - expensive but worth it for a proper job. We have miles of silicone hose here at work but none of it is the right size for the car style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payna Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 (edited) i wonder if its possible to get some hose joiners, and get them put together to make the mod for the breather hose??-> forge motorsport Edited June 28, 2005 by payna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1 Lupo Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Connecting it to the stock wing vent is a taboo. Its cold air, but the pipe becomes a really small diameter inside. Very restrictive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
