Bought 3" super heavy duty industrial PU hose from Huakenny (Bought some times ago, but no time to do the CAI, until today). It's so durable and tough, and it cannot bend more than 80degree, so I have to come out with a DIY, thus this morning, did all the process below.
And the result was Superb Engine Response !
The Finished Product
Stuffs - 3" PVC Elbow, 3" PVC Pipe, Drill Saw, 3" Alloy Funnel, 3" & 5" Hose Clip, Pipe Tape & PVC Glue
Bosch Drill Kit
Circular Saw, variable sizes
Choosing the right size of the Circular Saw
Close up of the Circular Saw
Circular Saw mounted on the Bosch
The location of the funnel intended to be placed
Ready to drill
Drilling (Only took less than 10 seconds!)
Done!
The 3" Elbow and the Pipe
The 3" Heavy Duty Industrial Flex Hose
Fitted perfectly
Applying PVC glue
Attaching the elbow to the flex hose, with a 3" hose clip
Elbow in place, fitting the 3" Aloy Funnel
Wrapping the Aloy Funnel with white tape
Fitting the Aloy Funnel to the elbow
Very-very tight fit, need some effort...
A view from inside
Fastened the 3" flex hose to the airbox
Airbox connected to the flex hose
STOCK engine bay, hehe
Be sure, to make the CAI airtight, amazing effects will happen.
PS: They are ppl debating whether it will suck debris or water into the CAI n damages the engine, but HEY, if there's flood or really dusty/sandy area, everyone is SMART enough not to drive over those places.....right ?
Adios :)
