Hi to all,
Iv seen a few scoobs with resanator box removed,i was thinking of doing this as it dose look better without it,but are there any benefits with doing this..?
also if i was to go ahead with this what would i do with boost solenoid hose that go's to the bottom of the resanator box..?

Many thanks to all.
Karl.

 

hi karl-u can remove the resonator box but u need 2 replace it with a piece of kit(like the apexi alloy pipe) which has the offshoots 2 attach the boost solenoid pipe and breather 2 the manifold pipe

 

Many thanks for that,any ideas were i can get hold of one of those kits to do this..?

Many thanks beezer.

Karl.

 

i tried to get one, recently one on ebay - quite rare

but i just made my own, from reducing silicone piping and some sleeves.

for the boost solenoid piping i drilled out the samco angle pipe, and cut out the thread from the resonator box, then placed the threaded part of the box inside the piping and screwed the boost solenoid adaptor into it,

worked fine so far

i blanked off the breather pipes as i fitted a catch tank, and got piping for the main vacum pipe (waiting on that arriving)

can get pics if you want?

 

Jef,any pictures would be great,as you said they seem to be hard to get hold of,iv been looking with no luck so far..!

Cheers Karl.

 

jap performance parts sell them.

 

Cheers shall have a look.

Cheers Karl.

 

^^^^ do that!

but this is what ive done

obv the adaptor for the main vacum is still to be done - its atemp measure just to get it running





like i said this was just to get it running - not driven like this

 

What are the benefits of this mod ?

 

i had to, do it as id fitted a hybrid fmic and the pipework wouldnt allow the box to remain

got my forge motorsport blanking plugs fot the outlets

 

Cheers Jef,so all i really need is the hose with 1 large outlet for breather and 1 small for boost solenoid hose..?

Cheers for that.

Karl.

 

yeah and the breathers, unless your fitting a catch tank, then blank them like i will be doing.

try belliots recommendation first

i was really struggling to find the piping, think apexi do it but had to import and more hassle and time i dont have ect,
2nd hand i just couldnt get one -you may have more luck

 

Ya they do have them with the filter for £90,but i just want the elbow as i have an ARC filter box fitted.
Is there any benefit by doing this..?apart from me wanting it to look better lol..!

Cheers Karl.

 

im really no expert

if you buy a ready made pipe, it will tidy things up, easier to fit ect

and i have several reductions inside the induction piping, with lips from pipes ect - dont think it will aid airflow - whether or not that would make any real life difference in performance, i dont know.

 

Thanks mate,your been a great help.

Cheers Karl.

 

i think u just need 2 get lucky 2 find an apexi alloy pipe like i did mate-i got one off of a dorset scoobys member 4 20 quid but they r really rare-i know u can get a new kit on ebay but they r around 150 quid but the filters r very good-if not then its the diy option
