trbo 6 Member 230 Member For: 21y 1m 23d Gender: Male Posted 12/05/04 07:19 AM Share Posted 12/05/04 07:19 AM I've been thinking about putting a dual air intake on the T, by moving the battery to the tray of the ute and putting a XR8 type intake where the battery sat.The original would stay in position and join the new one with a Y type pipe at the turbo. Can anyone see a problem in doing this or should I give up thinking?? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10689-dual-air-intake/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 12/05/04 07:21 AM Share Posted 12/05/04 07:21 AM Probably give up thinking. :lol: Nah seriously, I dont think it would be of any benifit. Probably better to do one of the various intake mods that the rest of us have done. Geea.

The air coming in from where the battery sat wouldn't run past the exhaust and heat up. It also wouldn't change direction like it does now.

If you already have the APS phase II, its probably best to give Peter a ring and organise the plumbing for the Phase III. Its proven to work and its the direction you're heading in. Geea.

trbo 6 Member 230 Member For: 21y 1m 23d Gender: Male Posted 12/05/04 07:56 AM Author Share Posted 12/05/04 07:56 AM Yes I know where the PHIII sits but the air intake that I have already, costs money, so rather than removing it and trying to sell it I think it would be a good idea to keep it.How can you say this would be a waste of time when I would be combining 2 intakes that as you say have been proven in both the PH II and Ph III. What I was really asking and may not have made it clear in my original post was would the computer have troubles with the dual air intake??

I can't see any reason why the computer would know any different when installing the second intake. The T works of a map sensor not an air flow sensor therefore it wont know the difference. I dunno whether this mods going to make any change to hp but anythings worth a try I suppose.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 11d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 12/05/04 12:47 PM Share Posted 12/05/04 12:47 PM I think there are several reasons not to do it.Firstly I do not advise having the battery in the tray of a ute unless you can put it in a proper battery box and be able to ventalate the area as batteries put of hydrogen gas and this is very explosive in an enclosed space.The second would eb the wiring would need to get from the fron to the back of the ute and that would require holes into the tray or through the passanger compartment. I do not think this is a good idea.With the intake you could just do a Battern type fitment or if you want a cheap and cheerful solution have a look at the second intake using the XR8 snorkle. Follow the KISS principal. You would probably find a dual dual inlet less efficient and more of a ugly hassel than a simpler solution.Just my 2.2c worth of advice Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10689-dual-air-intake/#findComment-121558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
