Ok, so this should have been a comprehensive and simple guide. However it's going to be more an example of how to bodge a short ram intake as opposed to one cleanly and nicely :lol: .
So at the weekend I took the air box and measured up. I'd taken a measurement of 70mm apparently of the air intake pipe. So I ordered a K&N filter with a hole of 70mm and piece of 70mm metal pipe to act as a go between to the rubber hose of the existing air intake pipe.
So it all arrived today:
I quickly set about putting the components together. I had the K&N filter, a heat shield and a metal pipe. It was shaping up very nicely.
Then I went to the car and took the airbox out. It's simply two screws that are easy to get to. One is visible in this picture. It's at the end of the fusebox and is clearly attached to the airbox. Simples.
The other is down low by the bottom of the batter near the positive end of the batter.
Which left me with this:
I took the little wire spring thing off the end of the intake hose, popped a hose clamp on, went to bung the metal pipe into the intake hose and it swallowed it up :unsure: . Turns out the hole I measured to be 70mm was 80mm. Major "D'oh" moment!
So I go back inside and sulk. But then the old grey matter starts thinking...
