But don't they need to flex abit Because of the vibes????

When my car was NA I had an aluminium bend fitted up with a Pod, and a plastic partition so most of the engine bay temps were kept away from the intake. Seemed to work pretty well.

CRUISIN EB: yeh thats why i'd need to have those rubber bits with ring clamps on both ends like you see on aftermarket turbo piping. they flex and move with the engine.

TUFED6: that looks like a great setup mate!! ive always wanted to do that but i just dont think i could knock up a partition that would do the trick.

neb · 10-08-2005, 11:46 AM

nice setup John... you wouldn't happen to have it still lying around somewhere and want to get rid of it? :P

TUFED6 · 10-08-2005, 11:55 AM

I'll ask Ben if he still has it, I haven't seen it at my joint lately! I know that he still has the templates for the partition if you guys wanted to do a group buy of 10 of them or something.

neb · 10-08-2005, 12:00 PM

Cool if he still has it that would be good... otherwise yeah I would be interested in the partition I've been thinking of doing a cold air setup similar to that.. at the moment I have a pod in my air box.. but its basically jammed in there lol. Something like this setup would probably be a bit better

Would Inox or Tyer fome do the trick????

neb · 10-08-2005, 12:06 PM

Yeah Tyre foam works well on rubber bits

niko · 10-08-2005, 12:08 PM

cruizen eb: that like 10+ years of gunk/dirt build up in it, and the occasional degrease which wont do much and.... to your last comment: quite possibly, like i tried scrub and detergant and it did nothing,

inox is more a lube so dont really think thats the best stuff to be using, not really cheap either. lol

cotton buds got into the crax quite well

niko · 10-08-2005, 12:17 PM

yous cant forget, i cleaned it back to the rubber to get it overall clean, not just to make it shine, could just sprayed it with silicone tyre shine for that

CruizinEB · 10-08-2005, 02:29 PM

niko · 10-08-2005, 02:48 PM

ye would have leaked down from ya inlet manifold, and the white im not sure why it does that u suppose its mixture of water/tad bit of moisture etc

CruizinEB · 10-08-2005, 02:52 PM

Hang on it mite of been the air freshener the first owner pot in the air box, could this have something to do with
