Help on finding some cold air piping

gozza · 20-09-2005, 10:21 AM

never thought this would be so hard
went to repco super cheap bunnings clarke rubber
bunnings only had crappy ag pipe
and clarke rubber had the right size i needed but it was pvc at 25 bucks a meter

any one know wher i can get some piping/tubing for my cold air?
hopefully not ribbed on the inside but anything atm will be suffice
where did you guys go?

thnx

oh ya...lookin for 80 mm

If you want just straight pipe, have you thought about mild steel or stainless exhaust pipe.

ahh sorry mate should have been a lil more specific
i saw the post on modding your panel box to fit the pod
so i did it on the weekend
but now i need a bendy pipe to go from the box to somwhere under the bumper
so plastic or rubber i guess

Why not goto the wreckers and buy an EA intake pipe.

gozza · 20-09-2005, 11:08 AM

will that fit onto the filter box outlet and down under the bumper?

EA2BA · 20-09-2005, 11:11 AM

OK, this is getting a little confusing, can you post a pic of what you are trying/wanting to achieve please

But for the record the EA piping fits both the eec-iv and eec-v air box.

Jase, I think he's after something to replace the snorkel, but something that comes out under the bumper.

i have my pod in the panel filter box
and i want a cold air pipe going into the hole where the throttle body pipe orginally went for the panel filter

gozza · 20-09-2005, 11:20 AM

cheers dave
im gonna have the xh snorkel going to the air box but i also wanna plug a pipe into the original 80mm inlet on the filter box and push it down under the wheel guard or bumper

EA2BA · 20-09-2005, 11:28 AM

Oh i see, seems like alot of effort to suck up water and road grime, yes I thought about this mod, and decided against for that reason, I think the air flow via the XH is enough to support most applications of cam etc, i.e. not a real HP limiter.

gozza · 20-09-2005, 11:30 AM

well i don' t have cams i just wanna suck in more cold air

basically put i just wanna know where i can get some flexible piping lol

Fair enough each to thier own I suppose, try doing a before and after dyno reading, or run a intake temp probe, would be interested to see if you gain cold air or not, theory is never the same as practical.

I reallly suggest using the EA intake for the 90deg bend part, a bit of pipe. metal or plastic, then another EA intake at the bottom, if you are trying to keep it all smooth, otherwise bendy pipe is the only option (ag pipe is cheap

)

I had trouble finding the pipe for my CAI setup as well... I ended up buying one from autobarn its flexible plastic ribbed on the outside but smooth inside, easily makes it from the airbox to under the car I think it was around $20-30

gozza · 20-09-2005, 12:34 PM

Its not going to get into the engine in a hurry, thats what a filter is for, but it will get dirty very quickly I suspect, and you will find alot of dust and stuff in the bottom of the airbox.
