The original one is still in my boot, intending to bring back to my house storeroom to keep just in case i regret doing the mod. Ying, why you looking to buy the stock one?

I want to cut it for some experiment.

Haha chris, not very detailed lah..  :zipped:

Yeah I can go to my car tomorrow and get a shot up for you to see. (prolly at night)

You can choose to do it one by one though, if you do it the way i did it, you may not know which mod will contribute more to your ride's comfort (can be quite troublesome if anything goes wrong).

I stay at toa payoh central. Hehe, of course, you can come my place to see the car... no problem man! After that can jio some more people for coffee also can!  :yehyeh:

yah still using the stock air box and filter... will there be any difference if i were to change it?
 

ofcoz got diff, stock paper filter blocking more air from flowing thru, try change to stainless steel filter to allow more air gets in to your throttle. by changing the air ram makes no different de.

Hmmm, just a qn:
If i were to do such configuration, allowing more air for combustion does it mean that it will increase FC also?

i'm wondering....wher does ur CAI piping facing? down on the road beside ur tyre? or somewher else? if its raining will it suck up the water from the ground? if its somewher further up in our engine compartment...isn't it sucking in the engine's hot air?  :confused1:

thats something that i was asking him also... i saw him squeezing all the way downwards. so i asked him won't it suck up all the water during rainy days... he say wun, cuz its quite high.

And also, its not at the engine there, there is a small gap behind the headlight compartment. So he squeezed the pipe there instead.

you try to suck water from a cup using 1 inch big straw, see whether you can drink the water or not. not to mention he is using a 3" long hose pipe. ^^ simple theory.

Nope. I have an opening for CAI at my bumper. When rev normally, its not strong enough to suck up water. In fact, you can hardly feel it. You can only feel it when you full throttle then it feels like a vacuum cleaner. So the idea of it sucking up water is minimal, more like sucking up dirts from the floor. If there is ever a flood in spore, to play safe just disconnect the CAI temporary and drive thru the flood loh.

More air is good, more clean cool air is better. IMO, CAI with opening close to ground + loose filter = more dust particle get into the engine. That will harm your engine in the long run in exchange for drive pleasure. Give and take.

I am looking for a spare stock air intake for an experiment to get more cool clean air, for fun.

Just came back from petrol pump.

28 liters for slightly less than half tank. a bit "sia la"

saw the caltex attendant trying to squeeze another 4litres into my car.... impressive.

When I did the calculation of FC, it was 10.4km/l

isit because of the CAI? I nv rev hard leh... sigh. so high FC.... NSman ur theory wrong lah.... 10.4!!!!  :furious:

ur calculation correct meh? just drive lah~ enjoy your smooth & comfort ride, stop monitor the FC which makes you moody..

you just change the ram to bigger diameter which allow better flow, but you still using the same paper mask, makes no different de...

once you ready to mod for open pod & exos system, dont think of saving FC anymore. ok :)
