Thanks for that, but has anybody had this mod done to their car in Sydney ?

If so from who and at what price ? Was it the same setup

Are these designed to run on AU intechs, or are we talking just Ba's. The website only lays out info for BA owners.

There are intakes designed for AU and BA. They are easy to install and we are happy to provide instructions or recommend someone to fit it in SYD.


PM me if you want a contact in SYD.

Regards,

AU & BA

Merkus it's on my AU but I'm not in Sydney unfortunately so I can't help you there. I think G&D can mail order the CAI to you and as far as I know it's a simple fit. (mine was fitted for me)

Edit: Awww dave you beat me to it lol.

Im interested in the intake but what sort of power loss should i be looking at in my forte with the full head light compared to the xr lights, which let air through the light?

Secondly... would it fit an ED XR8?

none, they work the same on XR's and non XR's alike. The headlight unit is not blocking any air. The BA's headlight design is not so different to the AU's design and thats where they get their intake from, behind the headlight.
Looks 100% stock and works a treat too.. love mine:

Sorry, only AU and BA designs at the moment, not avaliable for E series... yet.

looks like the pipe exiting the airbox is around 3" or larger (before the taper down to the original join) ? , has that got a pod in the airbox ?

The original piping is used.. the tapered section actually outperformed a 3" untapered pipe on the dyno consistantly.

Yes, theres a large pod hidded in there.

ahh , that explains the original smaller taper size pipe going back to the 3" size on the airbox (to suit the pod).. cheers ;). I remember in your other thread reading about that original tapered pipe worked better than the full 3" untapered pipe , it didn't suprise me either - i can see the benifits of having a full 3" pipe from t/b to airbox if the pipe wasn't very long or if the pod was bolted straight onto the t/b, but in the case of the setup in our cars (with the I6) - the main pipe is way to long to be running just straight 3" pipe all the way imo unless you had maybe a v8 worked hard requiring mass amounts of cfm airflow which the taper would maybe restrict. But in the case of our I6's , it has been proven in the past in lots of cases to do with airflow ( not just in cars ) that tapering a long pipe can increase the airflow , as the smaller end of the pipe creates like a pressure that helps move the air toward the larger end of the pipe more freely (to the t/b in our case) - and not restricting the flow at the larger end of the pipe (@ the t/b) providing the smaller end of the pipe can supply the max air/cfm needed by the source. This sorta theory was used in those cyclone vacumes too .. just my 2 cents on the topic anyways.. there is probably a hell of a lot more to it im sure , and i'de like to know , but this is just a bit of an understanding of what i have on it ;) . cheers , looks good too Casper, nice and tidy and looks original , well done G&D too ;)

If you want to know more ring Glenn or Matt at G&D they would be happy to help you with any questions.
