sorry bout the pic but its just a quick visual on wat the setup will look like..

basically position the end of the tube as close to the front as possible by removing the right radiator support and repositioning the resevoir (carsl way)

and position the other end of the tube as close to the K&N filter as possible.. so its basically just blowing cold air in and not really forcing it in (which i heard sum people say forced induction on carbs isnt really good).

wat gave me the idea is a company called cypherindustries (http://www.cypherindustries.com.au) which does CAIs just by positioning insulated tubes to as close to the k&n filter as possible.. so its not really attached to it.. just kinda hanging off it blowing cold air into the filter.

will this work?

cheers

 

My buddy bought a 48 IDA cold air intake from australia. the hat is enclosed with a foam filter inside like and there are 2 inlets coming in from each side of the radiator support. it was very quiet. However, due to too much restriction, it slowed down the car as well. Took it off and sold it.

what you can do is this. extend the lower plate by appx 2 inches on each side, and weld a surround plate (say as tall as the air filter), then add the inlet ducts on each side. but leave the top open. the idea is to have less hot air coming from the engine compartment.

 

so expose the top?

thats risky man..

so u think my way wont work?

i dont wanna have to weld lol..

 

I dont think itll be a vast improvement. The CAI I worked up doesnt force air into the carb, it just makes the carb pull in cool outside air. Make a box for your carb, like a turbo hat. Then attach your hose to that.

 

Ive seen pretty much your picture, but with a metal box surounding the filter with a large diameter pipe goin to the CAI. looks alright and i imagine at speed it would be rather effective, dont know about slow or idle though

yes but keep the IDA's air filter assembly (K&N filter/top plate).

 

In your case, I would just recommend a heat shield between the intake and the exhaust.





































Oh, and get rid of the Automatic.

 

Put a shaker hood scoop on it! That would rock!

 

so not worth doing?

or will it make a bit of imporovement?

cheers

 

I found your cold air intake for the IDA modded from a nikki filter set up. Its the last picture in the album.. goto the last pic in the album

 

I got to try that. Another idea.
