JoeA Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) The past 2 weeks work have been sourcing parts and rebuilding the induction. Wanted a CDA as well as to sort out the dirty oil that was spewing everywhere. Took a fair bit of maths but i'm happy now its all connected sounds better, works better and goes better Mounted the catch tank at the front of the bay.Ran piping to the PCV, EGR and Rocker cover breathers, as is on the standard air box.Piped that in nice and close to the TB.Then got the BMC mounted at a different angle from the last, also removed the cold air feed i put in.Everything piped in and fitted.Engine cover back on.Just need to clean the bay and apply my new CDA sticker now! Oh and finally get round to ordering the bolts caps for the cover from Dale.Thanks for looking, as usual, more to come Edited February 6, 2013 by JoeA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisbee Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 goot work on the catch tank, i had to cut off all the supporting parts for the original air box to get all my piping to clear on mine did you do the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I just took off the bottom sections, my airbox could technically be assembled no issues I just took off the bottom sections, my airbox could technically be assembled no issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisbee Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 i had loads of clearence issues with the backets under the cover that airbox sits in so had to chop them out but then i was left with a cover that would flap about unsupport at the back which the tuner that looks after the car said will set off the knock sensor in the tb. I went about cutting up the airbox itself so it would accomidate all the tubing and the catch tank and keep the rear supports.I'll post up pictures in my thread as it took some fiddling but its all hidden and very solid.

JoeA Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 My airbox is bolted in at the front and sits firm at the back as the piping pushes up on it, got about 15mm until the bonnet but it doesn't ever touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisbee Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Oh you must have used a bigger pipe, (51mm -71mm?) See I found the bigger the pipe was, the less induction sound I got so went smaller to create a better vacuum plus the ECU doesn't like it when it gets to much air.

JoeA Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Progress is starting to begin again, got an oil change to do.Then, my pals pitched in and bought me some team hekos, so need to fit them at some point.Wheels are getting picked up on friday, only need dishes, rubber, bolts and valves May have found a new indicator panel too, will have to have it sprayed.Then, just a mighty good clean and a full machine polish and ill be halfway there....
