dual intake box ?

brad` · 25-05-2009, 04:14 PM

i was woundering if anyone has made a similar set up to that off the FPV's air box where they have an upper and lower intake pipe ?

was woundering if it was possible and how much work would be involved not that i mind to much just not sure how to do it, and where to set the second indcution pipe to recive the most amount of air

You can buy my set up next week? its a modded Au xr8 box with F6 snorkel fitted
Or get the F6 snorkel from your ford spare parts, was $80 a year or 2 ago..... A few of the guys on here just have a hole cut in the front of the box, which they say makes a difference + it's free. ;)

brad` · 25-05-2009, 07:16 PM

haha, wanted it a little more pro looking then a hole in a box, other wise id just chuck a pod filter on and leave the lid off... even tho that sounds alright.. might give that ago

i was told by ford the f6 snorkel is $37... which they accidently quoted me for the xr6t upper snorkel
i dont know if they were being dodgy or not lol but i think its cheaper than 80

Like i said it was couple of years back. when only F6's had em not xr6t. So it was a fpv part. Hense the price. Accidental quotes? sounds like your dealers the dodgy one not mine lol

Stattic · 25-05-2009, 11:05 PM

yeh i was pretty annoyed... paid about $45 or something similar
i confirmed twice with the guy on the phone that i was buying an xr6t upper snorkel cuz he had to order it in
then when i went to pay for it they told me they quoted me $37 for the lower snorkel...

I had on my old XH a dual intake. 1st,was the factory snorkel, 2nd was a pipe that went from the bumper-through to the base of the airbox. and a high flow panel filter to finish it off. Alternatively buy a dual intake pod filter style from the wreckers.

I was always under the impression that the xr6t and f6 intake snorkle where the same??

dreadly · 26-05-2009, 01:57 PM

Yeah they are.... But at first they were only avaliable on the F6's ;)

brad` · 26-05-2009, 04:06 PM

i already have a genuine Tickford snorkal and as far i know they are the same size as an xr6t intake.

mont5.0 - what pipeing did u use for the 2nd intake from the bumper to the airbox ?

it was a flexible ducting (as in the ute the abs unit was under the front pass. guard)- but a modified VN air intake (90 deg. bend) should do the trick.

here is my effort I just welded a piece of pvc pipe to the air box looks the part and works well

brad` · 03-06-2009, 08:40 PM

nice set up where does the other end of the pipe come out ? or does it sit just behinf the light globe bit ?

FGII-XR6 · 03-06-2009, 09:16 PM

just sits behind the light there is plenty of cold air there once you get moving

brad` · 04-06-2009, 10:11 PM

Came across this. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=260422725453

brad` · 05-06-2009, 05:30 PM

that actually looks pretty damn good in my opinion.
haha now i can get one cheaper if i by the snorkal and do it my self
thanks for the idea who ever made it haha
is it wrong to steal ideas?
cheers
brad

dreadly · 05-06-2009, 10:31 PM

Lol it's mine hey. I cheekily put the link up.
Your fine to copy my idea bro, if ya need any tips or pics sent send me a PM.
Takes a bit of effort to make it fit the lower snorkel and reversing it works much better flows like the upper snorkel more. Also a better fit.
Ive got a different set up now, but that system worked a treat, and looks pretty smick imo cheers peter

brad` · 08-06-2009, 04:28 PM

hahah thanks for the go ahead haha, yeah it does look sweet too, looks like a part of the box not an add on.

ill have to purchase a lower intake and have a play around, thanks for the help too good chance ill need it not to clever haha i go the hard way around things, i get there in the end tho

cheeers

Sweet as brad ;) lol you shoulda just brought mine only went for $90,
I wouldnt do it again, id buy a bf xr6t box with it fitted, for the time and things needed, it'd cost more to make it lol but get a dremel, liquid nails or a poly filler, matt black paint it's not any easy job hey.
I found the lower snorkel fits better reversed, and you'd get more flow as the shape mimics the upper one then. once fited you'll have no trouble it telling you've fitted it though. sound, power and fuel economy all improved. Let us know how you go? ;)
