Intake idea

Post by Enforcerkart65 »

Was looking at my engine bay today and noticed how the x16xe has it's intake on the left (looking from the front) and goes behind the engine and comes up on the other side where the throttle body is next to the battery.

Image

Had a kinda brainwave (don't know if it would work). But swap the battery and airbox around so the intake is a lot closer to the throttle body and the battery can go where the airbox was.

Might unleash a few more ponies without really spending a cent.

What do u guys think?

I can't imagine it'll make any difference tbh mate

When your driving you have a constant air supply so the distance that air has to travel doesn't really make a difference
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Yer ok. But would it take away the restriction or is that in the manifold

It's the intake manifold on them sport engines that are very restrictive, the intake pipe itself doesn't have any restrictions bar the filter and it's not really restrictive atall

You can get intake manifolds that are alot better and make a fair difference

Don't know if oz got them but here you get dblis, lexmul, vx, and more but there the most popular here
