Where can i buy the cold air feed flexible pipes to feed air from my front foglight area to my induction cone filter??

Thanks
Stuart

 

Halford sell them,

 

Have you thought about extending the piping from the induction kit to re-locate the cone in the inner wing? This guarantees nice cool air all of the time whereas the cone in the original position will draw warm air in at idle/ sat in traffic etc. I am planning ditching my original airbox and fitting a cone in the inner wing.

 

Phil , is putting the cone in the wing the accepted way of overcoming this problem or is it your own solution, i'd like a performance filter myself but was allways concerned about it taking warm air at low speed /in traffic

 

A number of manufacturers sell induction kits where the filter actually sits between the outer and inner wing with the pipework going through the inner wing itself. MRT and APS both make these kits but just not for my MY95. It looks like I can easily make one up with a bit of Samco hosing and a spare afternoon.

Thanks for the replies guys. My problem is my car being a '95 Sti and i am putting an HKS fmic on my car. The fmic takes the path using the airbox/resonator hole in the wing. There is not another hole as it is a jap model and my intercooler spray bottle sits forward next to the carbon canister. I am already putting a heat shield between the engine and induction kit (Apexi) and also feeding with a mini scoop. I need a small bore pipe to feed more air into the induction kit so i provide it with enough coldness (quality use of english language!)

 

Bought some 60mm diammeter aluminium ducting from the local motor spares shop to me. Bought 1 metre, and used it to feed up from the duct below the indicator (MY00 bumper) up through the inner wing to the filter. There will only be enough room to do this once the resonator box has been removed!


See Carl Davey's thread in Projects, as he has some great pics showing this mod on his car.

 

Only problem being unlike Carl's later model car i do not have the hole that he brought his feed air ducting up through. Need it small enough diameter to get it past the fmic piping that runs through the resonator hole.

 

In relation to the cold air cone located in the inner wing, I have been told by John Banks that this will most likely upset the MAF readings. I was due to fabricate my own cold air induction pipe, like the ones available for the new age cars, but after hearing the pitfalls I have made a cold air box to surround induction kit instead.

Its a couple of easy to make aluminium panels cut and shaped to enclose the air filter with an air feed from the bumper.

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers t'other phil

 

Coulty, Sorry didnt know that the earlier cars were different! I have 2 holes in the inner wing, and my FMIC pipework goes through the one nearest the headlight, and the Cold Air Feed comes up through the other!

 

Well i run Andy F's ecu out his old 440bhp RA and that doesn't run maf so i don't have problems with that. I have some aluminium sheet that i intend to enclose the induction kit with and shield from the heat of the engine.

I might even get a hole cut in the wing so i can have a feed from the bumper

Thanks for the help

 

Here's one I made earlier

Very good Nick! However i would have to change a couple of things. I wouldn't put a lid on the shield and also i am already using that hole for the fmic pipework so i would have to get another hole cut. But good effort anyway!
