Is the silicone hose too short to fit directly onto the tb?

I think Kai wants to route both the breather and intake to the BMC, the same as I did on mine... Rather than have a seperate breather filter.

In which case he will need to trim it... if not then it will fit as is, but he will need the breather filter.

Would be easier to fit the hose straight to the tb though. A breather filter doesnt cost much at all. Although, I have a 45 degree elbow on mine so not sure about clearance with a 90 degree!

I found Marley downpipe to be a good size for a joiner. Your method is poor, no wonder you had problems. If I were nearer I would sort it for you! The elbow you have is not long enough to clear the clutch arm if mounted direct to the throttle body, it will need extending as below.

Hi Stamford

This is exactly what I want, may I say"spot on", a local told me 'spot on' means good? is it?

be grateful.

Today, went to Revolution Motorstor http://www.revolution247.com/erol.html (looks like a good motor performance company? Garage is big, quite tidy and lots of stuff, schedule is full ), let a merchanic checked my engine bay, said (the clutch? dont remember) is too high, so it blocked the way between the induction kit and Throttle body. I then bought these accessories:

1. Forge Silicon Hose 70mm coupling hose (connect to the TB)

2. Forge Silicon Hose Alloy Joiner 70mm (connect the 70mm coupling hose to 90 degree hose, so it is long enough to connect to the TB)

3. Forge Silicon Hose 25mm-19mm Straight Reducer( connect the 25mm BMC air breather to 19mm hole)

4 70mm-90mm(for connect the cai to airbox)

5.16-25mm jubilee clip(for connect the 25mm-19mm Straight Reducer to the 19mm hole?)

Could someone plz can tell me are those size correct? I measured them, and told the stuff what I want.

6. still need to order one 25mm BMC breather from Regals-motorsports (is it the correct size to connect to the 25mm-19mm straight silicon reducer )

Two more question,lol, As I cut the original BMC cold air intake too short(approx 30mm now), so need buy a new one(60mm), but the shape of the original one was changed by me....so not sure what size should I buy, I measured the air intake side of the airbox, it is 80mm, but BMC claim, it is 85mm.

I guess I need a 82mm ID Cold air feed?

BTW, ordered a Janspeed Decat pipe from PTP yesterday, received the email said out of stock...still need to wait,

And anyone knows what are these for, anyway, I order them together with the decat pipe.

If you buy this item, you may also need...
Gasket - for Cat and Silencer (WCM100480)
? 1.70 inc. VAT


Gasket - WCM100460
? 1.12 inc. VAT


MIL Eliminator (Malfunction Indicator Lamp/Check Engine Light)
? 20.39 inc. VAT


Cheers

Kai

Should have got a MIL eliminator off me would have saved yourself ?8

Im going to be replacing all of my induction tomorrow will put up a guide to hopefully prevent all these threads on the same topic and clear up all the sizes.
