NWZ Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Hi all, Anybody have a step by step guide with photos on how to fit a cold air intake (preferably K&N), I bought a ful cold intake with pipes and wouldn't mind some photos if anybody took the trouble to do this. It's got the blue bling pipe with carbon fibre cover I've read the K&N guide but it recommends removing the splash guard and I am thinking I'll need ramps to do this? I'm hoping to fit this tomorrow before the Bala run - so please help me out ! As usual all help appreciated - ta. Quote
xStric9x Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Is this the one which sits behind the front grill? If so just be careful with deepish puddles bud...aqualock Sorry have no pics as mine is a popcharger Quote
Stew Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 You could invest in an injen hydroshield. Chris at JDM performance does them. Possibly other traders too. Quote
Stew Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Oh and you shouldn't need ramps to remove the splash guard. An axle stand would help though I think! Quote
NWZ Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 Yes Mike it is...nothing is simple...what is aqualock...google here I come... Quote
Chris`I Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Doesnt the filter live in the box? In that case you wont get hydrolock as air will come in the box rather than the water up the tube. Other CAI are more prone as the filter itself actually sits in the bumper. Should be ok in this case Quote
NWZ Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 Yes it does, I have 2 blue pipes, 1 cone k&n filter, 1 box with 2 pipes (where the filter lives) & what looks like a carbon fibre cover - sorry if I sound noob... It is one of these http://www.knfilters.com/news/news.aspx?ID=13 Quote
xStric9x Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Just wasn't sure if the cone sat behind the grill or in the box where the oem filter sits Quote
ersen.o Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 i just took ma bumper off :x easier... i actually lost BHP with a popcharger, the guy lifted the airfilter out and did the dyno agen and got 10bhp :x thas why i went for CAI Quote

3FIDDYZ Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 No need to put it on a ramp, I didnt have to, you can reach most bits through the top. PM me for my number and happy to help if you dont get the info from the instructions. Mark Quote
NWZ Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 Thankyou to all for your help! I have the K&N instructions they're not the easiest to follow to say the least. PM sent to 3fiddy cheers mate!
