Cold air intake

Hi guys.

I'm making a CAI for the H6 and just want to know of it is safe to put the filter where the intake resonator sits and if there will be enough air flow. I am looking at covering the hole to the engine bay but may direct the air into it from the stock snorkel if needed. Thoughts?

Ill start adding pics once the parts arrive....

I'm pretty sure Simon (SH30RB) on the forum did something... well he bought a RAM kit and installed that which goes down where the resonator sits and 'rams' air into the filter. He also removed the RHS foglight so air goes through the hole. I am also looking at doing a similar thing myself, I have so far removed the foglight (helped when one of the globes blew and I don't have a replacement as yet), I might just go out to Repco or Supa Cheap and get a silicone hose to channel from the foglight gap to the bottom of the air box...

Here's the thread - viewtopic.php?f=16&t=15812

Silicone 90 degree bends are more expensive than a intercooler pipe bend. I did that on my skyline. Worked a treat. Will look at thread. I was thinking of keeping fog lights and customizing the plastic surround...

Bought the following items:

- TFI Racing Induction Hose from Repco (atm on sale for $19.99) - available in blue, red, and black
- Silicone hose joiner ($30)
- Some fly screen material from Bunnings ($3.60)

So I actually removed my resonator ages ago, but thought I would actually put that empty area to good use and create my own induction pipe. So looking from the engine bay, the stock airbox and snorkel remains, but the party starts happening below! 8)

From the outside, looks like I am missing one foglight, and when you look inside the hole, I have bought the blue coloured hose for coolness!

Results, my car is much more responsive and louder!

Raptor is now steadily working on an improved intake for Lib H6

Will be power tested as with anything else we do. Should be happening in August

This should give Liberty owners a chance to go headers, intake and a tune make their cars around 35 - 38kw more powerful at 7000rpm than stock - which is a massive NA gain on a small motor

The intake pipe bolt on will definitely focus on mid to high rpm power and there will be plenty intake noise.

There wont be any more powerful NA combo than this when we are done

Can you get an intake sound video - window down and passenger could capture the sound as you pull through 2nd gear - then youtube and post here??

Now that I have the ultrex mufflers it is a bit harder to hear but I'll give it a shot soon.
