Meston Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Is there any alternatives to a normal relocation kit that doesn't involve removing the aircon rad?Looking getting a gt spec hybrid ct9. Quote
kevink Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 this is a question that is keeping me busy for the last few months!been staring at the corner where the efi comes of from the turbo from all angles possible but the space there is just so tight!I first thought of routing a filter to sit it behind the headlight but the abs unit is there...one day i will be able to answer this question and help millions!! ... wel at least a few guys on here Quote
Meston Posted February 25, 2010 Author Posted February 25, 2010 Any tuning companies out there want to make something up? Might try and find a aircon rad that's about half the size and then make up some mounts for it myself. Quote
bucketep91 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 bahh.. pap the aircon dude thats what windows are for! Quote
B11G KY Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Im in the same possition i really like the Air con its nice in the summer but i want a better induction sytem! Quote
B11G KY Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 or people that dont like Body Odur! lol Quote
bucketep91 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 or people that dont like Body Odur! lolthats what deoderant is for Quote
bucketep91 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 why lol? its using your fuel and a little bit of your power and it wieghs a ton and takes up a lot of space. for a bit of cold air? roll the window down Quote
Carl. Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 why lol? its using your fuel and a little bit of your power and it wieghs a ton and takes up a lot of space. for a bit of cold air? roll the window down lol yeh but i remember those days in the summer where your sticking to the seat with your three quarters on, sweating like a bitch, balancing a crate of fosters scooba on yer lap, on way to a BBQ... thinking foooooookkk i wish i had air con.

Michel_M Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 It's like the BMI guys always say, a properly tuned STREET car also has to have a radio and A/C. Quote
DavidAshton Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I was going to try this when i still had airconhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AIR-FILTER-POLINI-RA...=item5d23d82b63Then i manned up and removed the aircon, maybe someone can try it. Quote
kevink Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 can hardly see that tiny filter letting any amount of air in.. yes we only have 1300cc.. but isnt that really small?i guess it could be worth a try, better than meshing the tubby i guess.i know someone here in the netherlands had a tiny filter like that on and said he did not notice any performance change,so i could be ok. But i would think the turbo would really have to suck harder to get the right amount of air through this filter. Anybody else wanna shed some light on this? Quote
micky boy Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 The only way to relocate the air filter at the front with the A/C still in place it to get rid of the engine mounted power stearing pump and go for the electric power steering that you find in the Mr2 mk2. Quote
B11G KY Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Good idea David! but your right kev it does look really small i mean u will get less heat soake but no more air than standard EFI system i dont think still would like to see the results though ! some one try it!! Quote
kevink Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 But how you get en airfilter up front is still the question for me. AC is in the way.what about butchering a original EFI pipe... *mastermind starts to work overtime* *runs of to check something* Quote
CRaZyKiD Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 lol kev, its 10:50 now, you forgot to come back?CK Quote
DavidAshton Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I think that lil filter could work well, i know plenty of people who run motocross filter with no probs, its a tiny ct9 how much air can it suck? Couldn't you point the little filter upwards, like in the same direction of the efi pipe? Quote
kevink Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 ok i checkd out some things... not to sure about it still..It is important how easy the filter lets the air pass, and how much total surface the filter has.would be best to stick one on and try it out i guess. but its a bitch to get to that spot..and if it doesnt wrok propperly good luck on getting your stock piep back on propperly...mesh filter would let in the air easier than foam i guess.

B11G KY Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I think im gonna have to be the Pioner and try it out ! as u guys are all Pussys! wont be going on till i get back from vegas in april mind so keep an eye out for this tread!@David the link u posted is it definatly the right opening size? for the ct9? Quote
BlackRocket Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Cut a hole in the bonnet and poke the filter straight up to it LOL!I thought about this for ages, tried numerous fittings, bends and twists and in the end junked the aircon!I have windows AND a sunroof so plenty of air going into the car if I need Steve Quote
