BMC induction problems

[sri_alan]

Should be joe, there is two sizes: < 1.6 and 1.6 & above. The 1.6 & above will have an 85mm neck on the engine side

 

[shaggy_master]

Let us know what size it is Eddie.. I'm interested, after Dave Bull's recommendation

eddie has a 130/70 CDA so it wont fit a gti

^ think you're right Ross. It will fit but there's no point, small bore.

nah it wont fit, the intake pipe on an SR is 80mm. so it would be pointless.

and it definately is 130/70. remember i almost bought it

 

[Josh-Si]

haha, alright Psycho Eddie your set-up looks sweet. ill go for the CDA option then!
Ive noticed that none of you have the air con pipes leading across the engine then. Do i have to remove these before i can fit the induction?

 

[5Zigen_Eddie]

No need to take aircon out, the ebay piping kit bends to fit under anyway..

josh i just replied your pm. sorry been on holiday

 

[Josh-Si]

Yeah tommo that was a helpful message, thanks!

Umm right lads, ive got a quote from regal-motorsport for the parts i need. well what i think i need:
1 - 90 Deg Silicone Elbow - 76mm
1 - Alloy Pipe Straight 300mm Long - 70mm
1 - Coupler 76mm long x 76mm
1 - BMC Direct Intake Airsystem
4 - Hose Clip JCS Zinc 70-90mm

All in all coming to about £160

Anyone think of anything else i will be needing?!
Cheers.

 

[sri_alan]

The DIA retails about 99, or did when I worked for the frauds. So roughly £60 for the rest is a bit steep considering you can get a ford focus kit which is everything you need, for about £30 delivers off Ebay.
Though what you have listed sounds about right. Could try and get some pipercross intake ducting pipe at the biggest size they do, which is 76mm.

Sod spending £160 on an induction kit for a GA14.

Spend that money on an exhaust manifold, replacement K&N panel filter and cold air feed.

 

[Josh-Si]

Ive already got a replacement panel and the cold air feed, ive seen a couple of ALmeras on here with the BMC induction kits and they looked sweet so i wanted one. Exhaust manifolds ive been looking on here and the web but aint had much luck.

And Sri_Alan you say a ford focus kit instead then? Is this what you mean? or along those sorta lines...

cheers.

 

[Corbalicious]

Thats the one you need.

As for exhaust manifolds, try

This should fit your engine.

 

[Josh-Si]

Okay cool thanks, then for the induction kit will a BMC CDA just bolt onto the end of the focus kit?

 

[RAJackson]

Okay cool thanks, then for the induction kit will a BMC CDA just bolt onto the end of the focus kit?

And ive found this manifold which i thought might fit...

what possessed you to think that might fit?

thats for a honda prelude.

explain your thinking. im curious

 

[Josh-Si]

the guy whos selling it said he had one identical that would fit mine.

 

[Corbalicious]

Okay cool thanks, then for the induction kit will a BMC CDA just bolt onto the end of the focus kit?

Yep should do, with a circlip type thingy to prevent air leaks.

 

[Josh-Si]

Sound, that works out to be a hell of alot cheaper than doing it the other way. haha.
Cheers guys!

 

[sri_alan]

Yeah, dont get ripped off by bedroom "tuners" who deal shite on ebay

 

[5Zigen_Eddie]

Just buy the 1.4/1.6 EBAY induction kit... keep it for a while... then when a BMC 70-130 kit second hand comes up simply bolt on the BMC filter instead like I have done...

That way you know the piping perfectly suits the car & can then see the differences between straight induction going to BMC with CAI

Or alternatively do w.e u like
