got the BMC CDA induction fitted

Removed the BMC CDA induction form my zs 120 then fitted it into my new ride tonight.

However, I got four questions here, appreciate for u guys help, Thanks in advance:

1. I cant manage to connect the silicon elbow directly to the throttle body, due to the airbox get stucked when I'm trying to get the whole kit reach the TB. or probably the size of the silicon elbow is not correct? so it's length is not enough.

This is the silicon elbow I bought from Larkspeed.com

https://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?p=ACCSAC09070&a=i

Features
Silicone Elbow Bend
90 degree bend - 70mm Diameter
Blue or Red available



So I have to chose ZS's way to fit my induction and give up Ross's way (smaller breather) mine looks as same as ZS's



2. where to get the airbox fixed, the platform of the battery?



3. Where to get this silver pipe fixed(red sign)? get it tied to the small silver pipe which next to it?(yellow sign)



4. when I was fitting the induction , I found I cant find a place to use this accessory which the BMC webside claims should be used in terms of ZS 180.

https://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?p=ACCSPV10070&a=i



Features
Powder Coated Aluminium Connector Sleeve
Length 100mm x Diameter 70mm


The instruction from BMC website.



Official Mounting Notes



I've noticed that there is a red stuff between the oe pipe and the BMC 90 degree silicon hose...not sure whether it is the red metal connector or not...

Cheers

Kai

that red part in the last picture look like that spacer, it's used for joining two rubber hoses together

The silver pipe in my picture is the cold air feed to the air filter. I plugged into the bottom of the filter then I ran it into the front bumper through a gap I found when the bumper was off. There's a big void (empty space) inside the bumper that it can suck cold air from.

To help this I cut out the fake intake in the front bumper next to the fog light to allow more air in. You could even sit the pipe behind this opening if you wanted even more cold air

The cold air feed was cable tied to a couple of places where it passed into the bumper, if you take the bumper off to cut out the hole next to the fog light like I did you should find somewhere suitable

The airbox itself mainly just hung from the silicone pipe, but as you are using the standard flexable hose too I can inagine it will move more than mine did. Perhaps cable ties to the base of the battery tray?

sure there's "how to" on here for it. it's not hard, but the bolts inside the arch liner are quite hard to get into

Kai,

I've cable tied the CDA to the silver aircon pipe to stop it moving.

Yes (as posted the other day) the Red joining pipe connects the two rubber pipes together (OE and BMC pipes)...

Just cable tie the CAI to a couple of points along the route, Mine is terminated inside the wing, with no external view - so no cutting of the bumper.

Mine is fixed like this



A bit of alloy straping to keep the filter from moving about.
