Just won an EK9 headlight converted to a cold air feed on ebay for £20 delivered. Only bought it as it was going cheap and would come in handy when i eventually track it or even the 1/4 mile. By the pictures it looks like quite a well done job and would work well since i have a Tegiwa intake. Anybody else got something similar fitted? Just thought i would share it with you :D

What you think?
 
You'll need to make the hole a hell of a lot bigger and direct to make that much of a difference :shocked:

Nevermind having a closed off cold air chamber as such to feed it in to...:drive:
 
Your right mate, the hole is pretty small. I spose i could mess around with it and try bore it out. As i said only bought it as it was cheap and though it might come in handy.

For it to make a difference would it defo need a cold air chamber to feed it in to.
So its probably not best suited to this type of intake?

Tegiwa are designing heatshields at the moment to suit these filters so that could make a difference
 
Well IMO, until the heatshield comes into play, you're really doing that car no favours with that intake...

Certainly if theres some form of cold air chamber and that headlight bored out, it not gonna be any use in the long run... If you get that far, get the glass removed and rest painted black to keep the theme and air feed in a subtle way :D
 
I think it might work at high speeds because of the ram air effect and short line to the airbox, meaning less obstacles that can diminish the ram air effect.
 
You'll need to make the hole bigger + a custom made heat shield
 
When i receive it i will see if it can be bored out a bit without messing it up and i'll wait for Tegiwa making there heatshields :D
 
looks good, i would get some filler and soothe off the other hole and make a smoother surface for the air to travel trought ...

might not make a differnce but will look better if a painted to abd sure cant do any harm either LOL

Perhaps consider adding a velocity stack inside the headling in addition to enlarging the hole, perhaps something like this:

BLOX VELOCITY STACK 2.25" AIR INTAKE 2.25 INCH BLACK:eBay Motors (item 310163769727 end time Sep-21-09 23:45:41 PDT)

Thats a 2.25" stack, should be a good size, its also available in 2.5, 3, and 4" and in metal and plastic.

Cheers for the link Blinx. Its something i'll look into, should be fun trying to make it work well and also look good :))

Haha nice bit of kit that but its $279.99, i only paid £20 for mine :lol:
 
Well how you getting on with this Stu???

Intrigued as to how its worked out :D
 
This was my old DIY sealed forced induction kit that i made. On the APEXi RSM it actually showed a positive intake manifold pressure under full throttle above about 60mph!!!!!
