dutchkev Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 iirc youd need the rst pipe as the normal size would foul the rocker and bonnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickblackburn82 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 is it possible to flatten the pipe so it doesnt hit bonnet/rocker i like the idea of keeping it looking how it is going over engine if not how easy is it to re-route it around the engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 personal opinion routing around the engine is better as it will keep it slightly cooler than if it was directly ontop there fore wont loose bhp through high induction temperatures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickblackburn82 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 im assuming someone has already done this if so any tips or pics as to how it will look just before i start buying bits i may not use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 i have a pic of the 1.8 where the inlet manifoild is shorter back type and induction pipe comes round the side but im assuming yours is the efi that comes over the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tez162003 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 if you want to go over the engine you will need a efi cast inlet, so the throttle body sits above the engine, then you need to use an rs turbo chage pipe with the suitable hoses, all stuff i have for sale very soon... white powder coated inlet, smoothed and chromed charge pipe, hoses to fit pipe to t/b and maf (got one to fit a 2.0 and another to fit the 1.6 maf) air filter etc on the car:http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa87/tez162003/SPANISH%20MAG%20SHOOT/IMG_5219.jpg off the car: (as it is now - crap pics im afraid)http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa87/tez162003/RANDOM003.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa87/tez162003/RANDOM002.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 It's best to say "i think" or "i'm unsure" than stating facts based on conjecture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
