Only question I have is regarding the breather Filter. Unsure of how that bit fits together.

Notice none of these pics are from a V6, anyone got a pic of it fitted to a V6, any problems doing so?

Cheers
Matt

That looks very similar to mine mate :thumbleft:

Ive turned the jubilee clips the other way though and clipped off the excess stuff.

**Posted:** Thu Jul 19, 2007 7:01 pm

What did you use to clip em off with. I have moved some of the clips since this pic

**Posted:** Thu Jul 19, 2007 7:06 pm

I think the 1.8s should have larger diameter, iorederd all this managed to make it fit (ol0 but the end couplers are a bit stretched :-s

What is the diameter for the 1.8 anyway? I might just need to get some wider pipes to suck in more air lol cause my engine seems to want a lot of it lol

**Posted:** Fri Jul 20, 2007 12:24 am

The more you give it the more it'll want - like Windows and RAM :lol:

I think you need to get stickers :P I know I have my Andym intake stickers :P

**Posted:** Sun Jul 22, 2007 1:19 am

my version of the intake is drinking my fuel!! normally with the normal air box and cold air feed i can go to watford and back on £15 with some left over, driving at 60mph both ways. With my new intake and k&n it took £15 to get there an another £10 to get back!! the little sensor for the air temp i think it is, is in the actuall cone (at the back of it) if i put it further up into the pipe somewhere wil these help it?cheers

I Just bent the excess back and forth until it snapped.

To get the tiny bit to lye flat just use something hard but padded tht wont mark it and hit it with a hammer to flatten it. (hard to explain haha)

Thats one of many sorts.......

What size diameter on the breather do you need to use?

**Joined:** Fri Apr 15, 2005 9:14 pm **Posts:** 4751

Rocker Cover = 9mm
Ekotec Valve = 18mm

:thumbup:

Just done this on my 1.8 - you need a 63-72mm reducer to fit the back of the intake sensor package. No temperature sensor to worry about.

Saf (Mase/shadez147)'s 1.8 is still stock, not sure if he'd want to take it down the strip though

**Posted:** Mon Oct 08, 2007 6:47 am

no hes removed the resonator i wanted to see one with absolutely nothing at first, along with no bodykit bits or anything which is what scotts was :cyclopsani:

but aye id still like to see saf's up the strip also

**Posted:** Mon Oct 08, 2007 2:15 pm

Too late I'm afraid. Plus, I wouldn't have been out on the strip anyway.

Oi, you don't wanna see anything of mine up a strip. :evil4:

I must say, I have a body kit on the car, I have a removed resonator and I also have a tightened throttle cable.

Is she still stock or not?

**Posted:** Fri Oct 26, 2007 8:58 am

Can anyone who has followed this guide or even Mr Stephens himself advise me here...

I'm wondering if it would be possible to build a slightly extended 'Stephens Intake' so that the filter sits deeper into the engine bay than this guide suggests, closer to the wing? :scratch:

If so, what additional parts would be needed and how should the guide be adapted?

I'm just wondering if it would be possible to replicate the Cosmo Racing intake kit using this method - would work out slightly cheaper I guess :evil4:
