All right Im back whats been doing,

Wondering if the XR8 CAI will still fit my airbox seeing Ive gone and fitted the SS CAI already. Might not be much room on the front wall of the box left.

Got to be said, the XR8 CAI looks the goods and seems to be at the right price Vs a well known alturnative (price wise that is).

Is the XR8 CAI flexable as far as fitting goes? Could it be fitted over a bit, more to the right?

Already got a big hole but it seems real XR men have 2 theses days, so its time to get working.

BIG Thanks to Thunder & Silverbullet, great work & nice pic's guys .

Blonk,

There was a great thread on this topic a while back, which included the part numbers and a step-by-step guide on the install (including photographs).

It was easy to follow and well worth the time and $'s.

Also, has anyone else had a look at the air intakes on the Typhoon? It looks like the guys at Ford have taken on the R & D done here as the 2nd intake in the FPV looks very much the same as this mod.

That leads me to a question that maybe one of the Ford parts guys can answer:

If the Typhoon has a ready engineered 2nd intake like the one we've made, what's the part number and how much is it??

So that bit of rubber from Bunnings is that bit with the barcode on it?? What part of bunnings did you find it in?? It looks like a very good fit to me!

It's a 100mm rubber joiner in the plumbing dept.

Cheers.

Yeah that's it, haha.

I reckon it wont be too long before you will want some more help installing my latest mod on the Silverbullet....lol.  You seemed to be quite impressed when my N/A skipped sideways between the 1st and 2nd gear change in SSS mode.

Hell yeah!!! Hmmmm......What you doing in a couple of weeks time?

Hell yeah Simon, that rocked. Get the shock of your life driving normally, give it a bit and it's a whole world of fun!!! I'll just have to make Jodie take alternate paths where there are NO ROUND ABOUTS if I get that mod....lol.

When using sealant of any sort around the motor make sure its...

oxygen sensor safe

If its not it will render the O2 sensor useless..Silicon deposits on the tip causing false readings

Drove a NA yesterday it could use this CAI :lol:

That's why GIMLI is sitting in the garage with the bonnet open and the airbox cover unclipped with no filter in place at the moment. To be safe, I may not hook it all back up till tomorrow.

Simon suggested smearing the Silicone Sealant around the rubber join and also used a water spray bottle to wet the silicone to make sure the silicone's surface is smooth. It should be fine. There is still a rubber lip of 5 mm or more, protruding the sealant join to the rubber and the airbox.

just throwing caution to the wind....

some might find it too tempting to try out the gains

No offense intended

Would sikaflex (One-part polyurethane) be better than silicon?

What products do you suggest? I am in early stages of preparation for the second windpipe now...
