Very good , i am very pleased with the results so far , considering it has cost me nothing except a bit of my time . Seemed moving the 2 intakes to behind the grill next to scoop has improved things somewhat. When i originally just had just the scoop i noticed just mainlly a fuel saving , then when i added the 2 extra intakes but had them sucking from behind the lights i noted much better throttle response and was able to smoke the rear wheels / which it wouldn't do before - but i also noticed noted that it was back to being a fuel pig ! .
Since now moving the extra 2 intake pipes so they suck from behind the grill i have noted even a 'slightly' better again throttle response, it doesn't seem to be as much of a fuel pig again now and it also seemed to of help it get to redline a bit faster in the mid to higher rev range (which i had seemed to have lost/dropped a bit previously when drawing the air from behind the lights).
Also alot more punch now when the auto is changing gears, almost like a whack up the rear end from another car ! . The induction noise also increased a bit more again too.
I'll have to get it on a dyno and block my extra intakes and so forth /get a reading / then unblock them and compare the results ... to get any real kinda spot on kw gain , i definatelly think they has been a tadd though, it seems too noticable while driving it compared to before, specially when i blocked my extra intakes and removed the scoop just to see what it was like standard again ( making sure it wasn't all in my head ..lol ).
As far as this mod goes , im happy with it and it's finished for now ( except maybe a pod filter modded to fit inside the airbox next ) , but i think i have gone as far as i can for now with the rest of the car being stock ! , maybe exhaust next then a remap to change vac levels and air/fuel mixture etc etc .. we'll see ..
I tried to get a few pics but its overcast today and my camera hasn't got a flash , all very black around the actuall airbox itself and pics didnt show anyhting, i got a 'few' pics where u can just see a bit of the piping and where it runs , i added a few lines to give the idea too , both the extra pipes come out of the front bottom of the airbox ( directly behind the headlights ) , to get pipes to fit through the small gap ( where i took out the 1 screw and folded back the black plastic flap between the lights and the grill ) i had to run them 1 on top of the other, the bottom pipe comes all the way out to behind the grill and faces foward into the airflow next to the scoop, the other pipe ontop of the bottom pipe is about 1.5" inches shorter and sits futher back just a bit of the bottom pipe. Here's some 'crappy' picture anyway to give you an idea , ill try get some better pics soon ;) .
