Running a set of 45 Jenvies, they are currently on long ram pipes with no filters, I've been toying with boxing the bodies and then having a big cone filter, conected by hose or alloy pipe or a combination of the two?

I'm thinking that this method would reduce the heat soak? Especially I'f I get it coated with some sort of heat barrier? Locate the filter somewhere near the headlight so there is plenty of cold air feed.

Are there any downfalls to this? The only one I can think of is the airflow or should I say the distance it has to travel, as this is normally a forced induction setup.

 

Just another thought... Using a NACA Duct in the wing would I get enough air flow to vent it to an air filter sat next too the wing?

 

something like this?

LOL... yeah pretty much

 

What about the second question???

Anyone?

 

any extra cold air in the direction of throttle bodies is a bonus so if you can manage a decent cold air supply then I can't see a problem with heat soak that your probably getting now.

Tony, Have you got any vauxhall xe spares ?

 

In a word ...... nope , sorry . Works engine suppliers were swindon then speiss, these were leased so i dont ever see them .

 

i saw a cold feed made by pipercross which bolts straight on to jenvey throttle bodies so will have a direct cold feed if helps?

 

yeh i saw that aswell! couldnt find it though...

 

I'll keep my eye out for the pipercross one thanx... My main reason the fabrication is a mate who can do it in his Nightshift... If ya catch me drift

 

Bugger, only spares I have seen were with 2 cars that were where my car is now.

How much do the engines change hands for ? (when they do come up)

 

This is what I'm using

 

Right click... save

Cheers matey

 

Oh, and no need for an air filter on the side, it has a little foam part just before the end of the casing

 

Ahhhh thats interesting... what sorta money you lookin at mate? and more importantly where'd ya get it?

 

I got it through Shawspeed, BUT you can get them from Tweeks http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/produc...ode=P/CC6275LH

Reverie also do one, a carbon one



But that comes in at £300

Cheers matey...

Think i'll give the carbon one a miss

 

I thought that too, bit expensive for me, bit posh too.

 

jenvy also do one of these to bolt straight on. you tend to get a little bit of restriction over using a foam filter but not much.

ring jenvy, or omex would probably have them in stock as well.

 

 

Just out of interest, what engine / car is it in? Your escort? what kind of power?

 

Dan, it's an I4 Maxi Spec RS2000 lump mate, it's going in my maxi rep (it's in the resto section) link in my sig

 

Just seen it! Sweet, will sound the nuts
