Cobb TIP & SRI + BMC Carbon Dynamic Airbox

[tao69]

Hey,

Not sure if anyone else has done this, but I thought I'd try it.

Started when I picked up a cheap unused BMC Carbon Dynamic Airbox off eBay, after which I grabbed a Cobb TIP & SRI. Mounting it wasn't as straight forward as I thought, but I got there in the end, albeit a very tight fit; couldn't fit the flexipipe in unfortuantely. The idea was to minimise the heatsoak with low risk of hydrolock.

I ran the Standard Cobb pod filter initially, the heatsoak was noticeable at the height of summer in Brisbane and the turbo spun up nicely. Once I finally worked out how to get the BMC CDA in I installed it. The heatsoak isn't as severe and the turbo doesn't spin up as freely as the pod filter, but I think it's a little bit more torquey and I prefer the sound; it's quieter but gives you that throaty note.

It's my only mod thus far and I thought I'd share it as a point of interest.

Cheers

Something different mate, nice work Have you logged the intake temps at all? Shall we dub this the canon intake mod

Interesting variation !!!. Trial and error thats the way

That's different. Certainly raises an eyebrow or 2. Good luck.

It's a hotdog intake!

Looks good, albeit odd.
