I have been following a thread on the US forums about how when the car is heat soaked the ECU thinks the charge air temp has risen alot and changes the fuelling, timing etc.. This is ok but the air going into the engine can be a lot colder than what the ECU thinks and can cause funny AFR's ect.


Sooooo..... I heat wrapped my last K&N cold air intake so I have gone and done it too my intake on my APS kit! But with the better gold heat film.

Anyway on to the dirty bits! lol...

Removed the strut brace and intake pipe.




Set it down on the towel and soaked it with GUNK degreaser for a little bit.




Once it was clean and dry I moved into the house for the tricky parts!


Did the top bend in a wrap style but made a template from wall paper for the straight sections so It fit well around the BOV and supports on the intake pipe.








Does not look hard but its sticky as hell the backing glue and took hours messing about with the template to get it to fit correctly! lol. :bangin: :bangin:




Oh and got my little hose joiner through from ebay!

This little brass badboy is to replace the little poo plastic one that snapped!





Thats is again for today people!

Your harness cover. I want. Where did you acquire that sexiness?

 

The harness cover guys is a custom made one, Its like the rare JDM one.

The twin cans at the front of the motor are crank case breathers.
