House's ITB XE build and re-build

[House]

I bet it's a polished jubilee clip.

Just spat tea everywhere!!!!

I'm sorry but it's not a polished jubilee clip, it's much much more gooder!!



We discussed my 45 degree inlet temps a while back, this will hopefull allow me a little bit of fresh air, might make the car quiet enough to drive aswell!!!

That looks pretty cool, was thinking about something similar on mine but now thinking about fitting a bonnet scoop

[House]

I was looking at a scoop mate but was concerned with the "chav" factor of a scoop big enough to be of any use, I appreciate a nova isn't exactly non "chav" but I didnt want to up the factor!!!

I'm having a difference of opinion wth my brother about the inlet to this plenum, I've got 76mm (3inch) Alu tube as the inlet, now I'm gonna have to put an 80 degree bend in it to get it down to fresh air infront of the box, I don't see this as a problem but my bro thinks that bend will create turbulent air and affect flow. Discuss...........

I bet it's a polished jubilee clip.

Dont laugh, it's the only way!

Think i've have gone with a cut in vent, to force the air down in... Like Craig did on his... Made a few of them a few years ago. On Jap cars mostly, but looks ace as its still kinda clean and hiddden.

[House]

Cut in vent is the only way mate I just couldn't find one I liked in time for Andy to do his thing!!

i'm purposely not going to polish the ally inlet pipe just for you Benn!!!!

[Benn]

I'll come along and polish it for you...

[scott.parker]

I can't see how it would create any issues with induction, just look at some of the pipe work you see on new cars, eg mk4 Astra gsi with the flat over the engine pipe.. Your engine will suck the the air through at such a speed it won't notice no difference imo.

It's a great idea, but what size trumpets do you use? that plenum doesn't look like it gives you much choice over the stubby little ones.

My future plans are to build a top feed airbox with a panel filter inside which seals onto the cut in bonnet vent.

Love that bonnet, think I might do something like that eventually.
