Want to Buy: Cold Air Intake

[midlandtech]

Anyone have a CAI they are looking to get rid of?

[meesh]

Hey.
I've got a new-in-box Dinan cold air intake. It's the old style; a true cold air one. But according to the Dinan instructions it won't fit cars with ZKW bi-xenons.
Let me know if you're interested.

[midlandtech]

Damn I have xenons or I would be all over that

Theoretically you could just ghetto rig it... Cut a hole in the bottom of your intake housing, cut a hole in the top of the brake cooling duct and run some tubing. Then all you need is a high flow drop in filter (AFE or others).

Just an idea, I would still do the normal CAI method

I am trying to keep ghetto fabulous mods away from this car I have done the intakes on my other rigs but I am trying to keep this with aftermarket bolt ons..... Crappy part is how much EVERY THING costs for these cars compared to something more common

^OK.....just wanted to make sure. What's the price?

[Hermes]

Yeah, only guessing on my end but I have the same box sitting in my garage still

[acontzhp]

^ yes sorry that is the one I have. I bought it from Modbargains for 400$ shipped. I'll sell it for 350$ shipped. Seem fair?

You should get an aFe drop in and mod the stock box to pull air from the brake duct, with a length of hose, as well as the kidney grille. I think that's the best option for low budget gains.

[midlandtech]

What would you use a tubing from the brake duct?

Huh? What or why?

[Hermes]

1-2" flexible tube from home depot

[Hornung418]

Nah...go big or go home! Get a 3.5" diameter hose at least 2 feet in length, cut accordingly.

[Hermes]

Yeah, that could work too... it will be limited by what will fit on the bottom of the intake housing, you'll have to check that out. I would also say to fab some sort of cover you can pop in the brake duct side for rainy days to prevent hydrolocking

[Hornung418]

You're not going to hydrolock with this setup. The intake also has two openings, so it's not going to have vacuum to suck up water.

[Hermes]

Forgot about that, maybe I should think of doing this too...

[midlandtech]

may have to spend some time digging and see what I can come up with... I'm thinking about maybe fiberglassing something up... I will have to play with it a bit plus it gives me a reason to use up some of this fiberglass I got sitting around
