Hi Guys,
Here are some pics of the CAI that i built for my XR8. I used a 90mm pipe and adapted it to the airbox. I used a heat gun to flare the tip for better airflow. It is stealthy and works very well by getting a heap of cold air from behind the headlights. I am still running the std tickford snorkel as well as it will flow enough for 300HP. Although power increases are hard to pick from a change this small I did notice the engine was slightly perkier from 3000rpm upwards. I was happy with the result so i just thought I would share the experience. http://www.fordforums.com.au/photos/...00&ppuser=8845 Cheers Engineer |

Very well done Engineer. Maybe I should be looking at doing similar on my XR6?

Chris@bluepower did a similar thing to my air box when he did my edit, but with an additional whole on the side of the airbox too, the one opposite to the engine obviously, didnt charge me a cent to do it either, what a champ

That's the old Casper air box mod from AUFalcon dot com. Not proven to provide any additional power, but you can never get too much cold air, so it's not like it would hurt.

It couldn't hurt, so anything is a gain, well done.

i was just thinking about adding a CPU Case Fan to the Side of mine and Changing the bearings inside to give it a higher RPM , Like Fit it to the Side of the Airbox , spoke to a Physics Nerd (Cousin) and he said it would just regulate temp and it the fan wan close to the top , hot air in the box would seep out allowing more room for cald air to be sucked in under pressure
Something to Think aboot ! Daniel

I had the same as revdup ,I found it was good but droned too much for my liking, also I played around blocking snorkel entry etc and still wasnt happy
so I went a bit further cutting 2 sides out of box and making sheilding to stop bay heat and fitted small pipe and BIG k&n to bellmouth entry cleared the plastic from grille/headlight had the edit retuned picked up 4-10kw (idle to 4000rpm) and more torque over the 2 hole job I had before best of all inlet temps were low and stable and a no cost mod that got more power |

3" hi-temp rubber hose (expensive stuff) .DIY custom mount from throttle body running down past A/C compressor to bottom of radiator to the front of bumper intake..
Fair bit of modifications required but handy man would be able to handle such a job. Finished off with k&N pod filter Expect flywheel 10kw at midrange rpm .. |

Excellant just like the 2hole airbox mod people do on the Holden LS1's :evil_laug Im def going to do this to My AU V8 ute. On My VYII Clubby it picked up an 5rwkw having the second hole mod on while sitting on a dyno with back to back runs.
