[quote][i]Originally posted by Hammer Man[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by LukeGSi[/i] Ill do you a deal mate, you tell me more about your induction pipe pictured and ill find out what years the GSi changed to the X16xe :) [/quote] Well... This pipe is 2,5 in, because the first time I saw the horrible OEM plastic (piece of trash) pipe, I just couldn't stand it. So I made this from pre-bended steel curves. At the time I made the conections with rubber hoses, but nowadays I use to expand the tubes and weld them together. We also enlarged the throttle valve diameter a little bit and got rid of the std airbox and filter. We replaced it with a big cone type K&N and a custom fabricated airbox. That is a fiberglass piece with an air duct that leads to the front of the car. (you can see it in the bumper) Well, the reason that all this was made, is because I've been reading that with ONLY a better induction system, this engines can reach over 150bhp. The fact that all this parts were used in the 1.0 four cylinder made me think that they would probably not be ideal to an engine capable of almost 3 times the 1.0 power... At the time, I did not realise that the main problem was the intake manifold. So the results didn't come and the powerband was unchanged. All the power we have gained came from the little extra torque. No rev gains. BUT, now we are fabricating something very similar to the Mantzel's "Powerbox", so we hope that we can finally make use of all that mods we have done to the car... Any questions, please ask. :thumbs: [/quote]
