Quick and very affective mod (not to mention cheap) mod to my EL today. I noticed that cold air was getting to the guard side of the airbox and i couldn't actually run any pipes forward like the Typhoon intakes have. the lines from the compressor run right along side them and has air come through from behind the left headlight.


as you can see here, moisture can build up in there (this is 12 hours after the car was switched off) so i opened the drain hole at the bottem too.

the idea of it all is that there was a fair bit of suction from the intake mouth before making a vacum in the lower half of the box. this should allow the engine to breath a bit easier. haven't driven it yet but did a quick rev test and it was more responsive. im going to put a hi flow filter in there and a AU tickford snorkel too.

could you shrink those pics a bit ... keep it dialup friendly

nice idea, i'm sure it would work effectively too, but yeh, shrink the pics so we don't have to keep scrolling horizontally

Dial up? That stilll avaliable?

shrink the pic? When u have a 19" monitor on a good res then you dont have to scroll.

What is dial-up. i thought that only got used on cisco routers

dial up? never heard of it

they probably teach dial-up in history class by now.

STFU all,

good idea, had a chance to test it yet?

not as yet. heaps less suction from the intake mouth so i imagine only good things. i'll give it a bash tomorrow and let you know.

a good idea for people running panels.

would this defeat the use of the snorkle though?

cant believe you get water in there, youve seen mine and i get no water in there even after highway trip through a monsoon.

i love cable 8.8mbit, and a 19" @ 1600*1200....ahhhh

d...i..a....l...-....u....p? whats that fooo?

and thats kinda a good idea =D.......maybe melt some of that black fly screen onto it. makes it look neater? even though u won't see i but yeah? tell us how it goes =D

at speed the snorkel is not have all that much air rammed in to it, it does have a bonnet in the way first. this way, all though the range it shouldn't flat spot

well thats what i found in there. i guess the spray from other cars is enough to do it

f**k!!! Big improvment on induction noise! my dead stock engine, filter and all sounds heaps better over 3000! rev's up heaps quicker to, bucket loads more throttle responce.

Well worth it.

ALL EF EL DRIVERS DO THIS!!!

Hmm.... very interesting!!
Very nice idea fiftyone.
Can anyone tell me a downside to this mod?

Very nice mod... have you had any problems with it so far or is all good? if there are no problems i will try it aswell and throw a K & N panel filter in the box...
