My Rs4 Project

Sounds very positive buddy

[MikeFish]

Agree,it sounds good. Be interested to hear your thoughts now that the weather has warmed up a bit. I've already binned my SAI,so maybe I need a bigger cold air pipe rather than 2.

have you had it mapped out, id just for one large one, you might squeeze a 6'' duct through, i dont know what the end of the gruppe m looks like ir where it faces?, (sorry said carbino earlier)

[MikeFish]

Yes, mapped it out when I had the cold air feed and stage 2 remap done. The Revolution air inake has a fairly wide opening, bigger than the Pipercross cone filter inside, but the co.d air feed only takes up a little part of the intake leaving it exposed to a lot of cold air. Sounds like you have blocked the hot air so as long as you are still getting gnenough volume you might have made the prefect intake!

ah i see, i blocked the wing vent up because that wasnt forced, the top one is still in situe and the lower one is twice the size, the flap vent inlet is quite small, so hopefully will give good results,

[MikeFish]

Sorry I meant to say mine is exposed to a lot of hot air, not cold air!

Looking good Rick, You say you blocked up the wing vent, do you still have the OEM airbox? if so you need this wing vent so the air coming in through the CAF and grill has somewhere to exit when off throttle as the throttle body butterfly valve will be closed, other wise you could get a build up of air and create drag,

@Mike, Why did you remove the CAF, what was the problem? (sorry if you have already explained).

[MikeFish]

I haven't Sonny. I removed the SAI, I still have the CAF, just looking at ways of funnelling cold air in cos as you know the GruppeM and Revolution intakes pick up a lot hot air as it is,even with the cold air feed. My thoughts were to close off the intake so the only air getting Ito it is from a bigger (or multiple) cold air feeds.

what would be good is if you could use the bottom(side) of the oem airbox, this would keep the wing vent and then enlarge the cold air intake part like rick has done.
then modify the revolution carbon intake to mate up with the bottom(side) part of the oem airbox.
you would then have the choice of using the normal size square performance filter or the cone filter in the revolution or gruppe m kits.
i think this would be the perfect intake.

Sorry Mike I misread what you wrote... There was a chap on here who fabricated a kevlar snorkel that came up from the duct and went straight into the airbox/ induction system. It looked pretty good as i was going to do the same when I was going to turn the Rs4 into a track racer.

didnt think of that, yes still have standard air box, other air boxes ive seen dont have that vent, i thought it was for extra air volume if you boot it.

has anyone got a pic of the inlet part of the revolution/gruppe m filter? the underside

Rick can you please post some more pics of the headlights, I think that's a cool idea, very tempted to do mine

Cheers, looks great!! Have you seen this done before?
