A tumble dryer extraction pipe...

Just a couple of photos of my induction kit replacement... a drilled airbox with a very large cold air feed which used to be a tumble dryer extraction fan pipe:

where abouts have you drilled the airbox?

Pipe seems a good idea tho

 

[Jamin Berry]

What engine is that?

 

[Brummy]

trouble is, that kind of plastic on the pipe is really thin and flimsy.. you would be better with some of this kind of piping , its metal and bends to whatever shape you require.. its only about a fiver or so from B&Q type places too

 

[Brummy]

What engine is that?

Looks like a 1.4?

 

[SHADY-NINJA]

it looks like an r36 engine with a stand alone engine management

 

[mrcoyote]

Hmm.. the original SPT mod.

I spat my tea out when you said that

What's that pipe called brummy?

 

[Brummy]

Chris, I called it 'bert'
seriously though,.. its just metal Ducting piping, you can get it from the plumbing/heating section at B&Q.. ive still got some in my cupboard downstairs, but dunno if there would be enought to do another 1.4.....

lol **** Pipe Tuning is the way forward.. i aint paying £80 for some overpriced ducting they call cold air feed with a pretty colourful trumpet on the end!

I wish it was an r36 engine... just a bog standard 1.4 or for the fancy name 1.4 multipoint injection single over head cam 8valve

Mmmm may have to invest in some metal tubing as it seems when the engine gets hot it goes a bit floppy

To answer the original question someone asked I drilled it about 20 times round the back edge (mayb a bit overboard) on the non filtered side obviously!

got fed up of my pipercross dustbin lid induction kit seen as it slowed throttle response and sounded far too raspy
