BMC induction problems

Hi, i've been searching around for a BMC induction kit for my 1.4 Si 'mera after seeing a couple on here. Ive looked through various websites but cant seem to find one specific for the Almera. Any help would be appreciated. thanks! :D
 
Im pretty sure their a universal item, you'll need to get a cheap ebay cold intake kit then buy the BMC to fit onto that
 
Yep, it's the universal kit, the smaller one will be fine for a 1.4. The GA has the TB vertically mounted in the middle of the engine bay so you will need a length of pipe/duct to go between the TB & filter and a 90* section to connect the TB to the new pipe. Have a look at Rajackson's home made BMC for a better explanantion.
 
Can you send me a link i had a quick look for Rajackson's home made BMC on search and couldnt find anything! Thanks thou
 
Right, umm ive contactd regal motorsports and they said they can supply the parts i need. Two quick questions though, first is should i get a DIA 70-130 or a CDA? and second i got the pipework to be approx 70mm, does this sound remotely like what it should be?! :P
comments please....
 
you will need

1 x 70mm 90* bend, a length of 70mm pipe approx 50cm long. and a 70-130 CDA (carbon dynamic airbox *ithink*) the BMC being for up to a 1.6l

then you need 100mm ducting, get it from B & Q :lol:
 
Hopelessness has a DIA on his 1.4 I believe so he can tell you if it's any good or not :). The CDA is quite expensive and might not be worth it for you needs.
 
Don't bother with the CDA, it's just for bling factor. The DIA is the same filter just made of plastic, not carbon. I'd say go for the 1.6+ filter too, because it'll be usable if you ever get another car / engine etc. Also, you should route the intake away from the throttle body, and run a cold air intake to the front of the car.
 
CDA is bling? And plastic is comparable how? The heat soak from the plastic is going to be alot greater than the carbon airbox
 
Ill probs just go for a plastic one guys, simply because it is so much cheaper. :D
Are they easy to install or would you recommend getting it done properly?
 
Problem is the plastic one looks shit, and the carbon one looks awesome.

Do you really want all the JDM whores to giggle when you show them your engine bay, DO YOU?

Its really like buying a hotshot header instead of some unknown brand header off ebay, a conessour in intake filters would go for BMC CDA and in that sense would also pick the hotshot

Interested in the welding, bend/curve or the pipe etc etc


But also DIA sales have been reduced any there isnt really many floating about, CDA is where its at yo
 
If funds are an issue theres always the Apiro copy of the cda i picked a second had one up ages ago for a tenner. Yes the filters not as good (wire mesh, though i think they did varients) but it still does the same thing essentially.
