Hi

I didn't think it would fit but as I said in reply to Sean they are self cleaning so there would be no need to access it.

Edit: Looks like an intake sock and/or flyscreen is the only option

As for space I don't have any idea!

Hey Steve I can assure you there is NO SPACE anywhere in there for pre cleaner, I am thinking about trying the Donaldson Spinning type but for now I will fit Safari Snorkel Top

Hi Sean, there's nothing to be gained effectively if you re routed the wire.
When Moulding the pvc pipe we did take advantage of the step created above the liner & below chassis rail so as to minimise any airflow restriction.
I agree with Sam that the Silicone hose would close in too much once gaurd is fitted.
Steve as far as the convoluted tubing you are looking at my thoughts (conscerns) with this is that to fit into position it would almost certainly be laying in a flattened position and would be far more restrictive than what we now have with PVC.

If you're talking spiral wound silicon tube (like the blue bends etc) it won't collapse, but a convoluted spiral wire reinforced hose will need to be deformed to shape.

As for PVC and heat, anything on a car will be in the sun long enough that it won't matter what its made of.

I'd use rect section PVC downpipe, adapt at either end to round and use whatever for the snorkel and silicon bends to the airbox.

Guys, were talking 4.6l making what, approx 60hp/l? Nitpick the stuff the effects performance. The ecu adapts to air intake temps regardless of how cold the air you stuff in there is.

Nitpick calculating negative offseting the crank and matching bore increases to maintain capacity whike increasing revs while allowing to decrease main size to Honda B16 mains to reduce oil shear. Its a P38 brick.

Hi

I am not concerned there will be any noticeable air intake restriction just looking for the easiest way to do the job.

The rectangular down pipe is 100 x 65 mm and I am not sure if that wil fit.

I assumed FANTOM would have used that instead of deforming a tube if the rectangular stuff fitted

Maybe its the 100mm size which is too big

Well that sucks, but anyway, you can move the SRS cabling. Just follow the procedures for isolating the system as if you'd remove an airbag etc.

Great stuff Martin and Sam.

I hope you've bought 3 of everything while your playing with it all.

Rectangular PVC is available in 100x50 but even that wont fit!
Sorry but it's round or nothing! Gives most flexibility in regards to deforming as well as then connecting at each end to bends with minimum joins
(read potential leakage points).
Just waiting for s/steel to arrive so I can have another play & post up more pics.
