Andrewkb Neutral Newbie July 23, 2003 Author Share July 23, 2003 (edited) I shifted the intake mouth into the splash guard last night .. this morning .. immediately, I felt the low end torque is reduced to stock .. but mid end to high end is pretty linear .... sound also gone ... Generally, I felt 20% reduction throughout the powerband So, tempted to change back leh !!! Edited July 23, 2003 by Andrewkb ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewkb Neutral Newbie July 23, 2003 Author Share July 23, 2003 After some thought, this is what I might do: 1) Shift it out again 2) Place an air scoop at the outside of splash guard to direct air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modeldriver Neutral Newbie July 23, 2003 Share July 23, 2003 Depending on size of scoop, and ground clearance, U might wanna be careful of hitting and ripping it off when U go down ramps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewkb Neutral Newbie July 23, 2003 Author Share July 23, 2003 Am thinking of DIY using metal sheet ... but then at speed ... it becomes a dangerous KNIFE !!! Else can buy those cosemetic bonnet scoop and install it upside down :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewkb Neutral Newbie July 23, 2003 Author Share July 23, 2003 Oh, BTW .. I realised that to appreciate incremental power improvement is difficult ... but ONCE you lose it... you can feel it immediately !!! Well ... guess it's human mentality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewkb Neutral Newbie July 28, 2003 Author Share July 28, 2003 Here's the schema of my setup. Will post some photo soon. Need comments Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2P2 Neutral Newbie July 28, 2003 Share July 28, 2003 is this still the previous setup or a new one....sorry, dun really want to run through the thread..... if this is a new one and the one pointing out of the bottom is the same as your pic, it should be better than the old one....but questions, does it get hit when you go above humps?

Andrewkb Neutral Newbie July 28, 2003 Author Share July 28, 2003 This is the new setup. You notice that the snorkel is not connected to the main pipe. The previous setup is one whole piece. So, for this setup, I don't have to worry about water injestion. However, it does suck in certain amount of hot radiator air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_z 1st Gear July 29, 2003 Share July 29, 2003 You working for MoE?? The pipe is connected straight into your original airbox or are you using open pod? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saaber Neutral Newbie July 29, 2003 Share July 29, 2003 maybe you can do a heat shield to block off the hot air from the radiator.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
