This is my friend's wira aeroback 1.3 GLI DIY CAI. B)

Replace the CAI pipe and connect to the stock air box.

Wrap with Superlon, make the CAI pipe tight on with the air box.

The CAI pipe going down.

Pass by battery area.

The end of CAI pipe. (Air input)

Normally wat i do was, do check my engine bay frequently....especially air filter area. B)

 

[khguan]

yah.. when u do CAI.. it will be like dat... so open up ur filter often n check for dirt.. blow it clean by air gun... if filter too dirty just change it..

then u can change to those washable wan.. :)

it'snot necessary to have the opening placed behind the bumper.. do like mine, in the fender area.. the air there is equally cool as the air outside..

 

[fstr]

why does urs come out from the side ah?? the lubang (where the air goes in) is heading the front one kah?? :unsure:

 

[drexchan]

slk850,

how did you mount the hose to the airbox? Some superlon and double sided tape i assume?

beware of the heat.. i might drop-off when the heat melts the adhesive on the double sided tape..

 

[khguan]

well.. if u install ur CAI hose in front of bumper... then de air going in will be faster cos it is forced into it.. when ur car moves.. then it create some higher pressure in ur airbox..

am i rite?
