The 007P & Spliter R are both good.

The 007 is good yeh if you like it quiet and the only good thing about the Split R is........well i tried to think of something but came back with nothing, oh actually one good thing is that you can pick them up dirt cheap cos people cant wait to get rid of them as soon as they buy them.

i think that would look gash with the rubber ones when i done mine i used alloy pipe and a alloy conector to join it to the maf silicone is easyer to do imo...

i do believe you had one of these at some point if im not mistaken :
but the 007 has to be said is a good simple design that works well...

right ill go for silicon

right the list

cone filter HERE FC-07003(want to go bling lol)

45` bend HERE

the hose will join right onto the maf.YES or NO?

then since the cone filter is 70mm female and so is the hose ill need a connector.YES or NO?like a small alloy tube?70mm external diameter?

or will they connect ok?

will i need any more hose etc for it to be close to the wing?as ive seen pics with blue silicon hose either side of the maf sensor

thanks

 

[greg.w]

right well after finding an awesome thread from a little while ago i know what i need to take it close to the wing

jetex FC-07003
45` silicon bend
70mm OD hose joiner

i see some people have changed the hose before the maf sensor.what would i need for this?if its the TIP then it dont matter dont want 1 of those yet lol

and also what about heat shields?im an engineer so can make my own and have loads of spare metal at work.will a home made 1 work just as good as a bought 1?how thick etc should i make it?any pics of a bought 1 or made 1?

thanks

 

[s1l3nc3r]

ah see the search button is a good tool when used...and yes the silicone hose before the maf is the TIP...wouldnt of said there was much point in a heat sheild TBH you could make one like the jabba kit has but gains would be very small IMO and its more for a show piece...

Yep an it was found in the for sale section a week or so later lol

and then you sold the car..?? Nice upgrade though but i would of nicked loads of stuff from your bay..

My bad thought you meant i had a split r not a cupra lol. Had both tho but the split r was sold long before the cupra lol

I had a split R not a bad bit of kit.

But I went back to my 007P only becuase it was louder through my air filter than the split R was for some reason.

Any way this thread subject was bound to ruffle up some feathers

 

[greg.w]

thanks for the comments

the tip's like £100 yeh?can i not just get a silicon hose to replace the black hose before the maf?or has it gota be the tip?

and i thought the heatshield stopped you getting heatsoak?

lol...i did mean you had the split-r...

I new you had the cupra aswell then sold it and got the skyline..lol.

what i ment was i liked your engine bay on your cupra...didnt explain it properly after my birthday drinks and such..

 

[greg.w]

btw is 70mm the correct size hose?as in is the maf 70mm?

 

[greg.w]

just thought id bump an old thread.

is the maf 70mm?so will i need a 70mm internal diameter silicon hose?

just cos im going to purchase it very soon

thanks

 

[s1l3nc3r]

correct...

 

[greg.w]
