Short Ram or Cold air intake? Options

[BonzaiCelica]

ok so if i decide to get the heat shiled for filter. i mount it so its facing/point toward the hood of the car right.

aim the shield to where most of the engine heat would come from, so the open side of the shield faces where colder air would be

ok if i decide to get one. from my understanding. i should put the heatsheild facing the firewall/ to the back of the car. thanks alot

Since there is a thread about CAI/ram intakes here i thought ill post up my latest mod.

While im waiting for my manifold parts i thought ide make a proper cai insted of feeding the airbox with one of those flexi tubes from the bumper.

before you ask about how i go seeing at night im using HID's (which i assume most people with projectors are) which are terribly bright, im pretty sure they melt the bitumen a little , i rarely use high beam, but even so with just one its still epic bright.

result well it feeds directly into an airbox that i made, and there is a difference for example in how much vacuum i have crusing on the highway, not heaps but a bit, and is a little more responsive.

oooo wow! i say thats pretty cool. how bout water getting in their or is that just a temporary thing. also looking at your hi-resolution pics. and how did u get those bright blue leds on the outside of ur projectors. custom made??

i honestly cant believe how many threads there are on this EXACT topic and how they are still being created.

People dont know how to use a search button clearly.

prehaps make one a sticky.

Nar she is full time there.

one of the reasons i put the mesh in the back there (and its on an angle leaning forward at the top) is so if water hits the mesh it'll run down it and just drip off essentially, the other is obviously to stop the filter eating bugs and birds and rocks etc Plus the small ammount of water that may get through there will get chopped up pretty well by the turbo and become tempory water injection

as for the led's they are actually the white type, just look blue in the shot compared to the green tree and dark background etc. They are just the normal LED parker lights.

ya i know tonytutino. i just decided to add on to this thread since it was already made by a member who doesn't know how to use search button.

maybe admins on this forums should ban the start of members even creating anymore threads on sri or cai. but wat can u do right...

well thats good stuff cuts the pilot. nice job well done

oh ok. thx for info bout leds
