Thanks Kevin. Will look into it soon. Maybe an inline hose drain would simplify things for me

 

hey gents. now my ACD relocation is almost done... does anyone have some creative heatshielding for cone filter setups? thanks

 

made this from some sheet plastic...

 

@kikiturbo nice & clean, thanks. i can probably make that. Make it higher to take air over the headlight and OE snorkel. I wish i was on SD tune

 

Yeah, it could be made differently to use the stock air pick up too... this draws air from the driver side wing only and is made from 2 pieces of folded plastic sheet... will make more pics one of these days as it is offthe car now..... it is loud as hell.. hahah..

My car will have the fan on the front and different turbo location so I might make a different setup for it (I also have a longer filter)

 

Solenoids arent really that exotic of a part. I wonder if we can disassemble and remake wear items. Someone send me a bad pump

 

at some point I wanted to have the solenoid bodies (the valve part that goes inside the pump) made as a replacement as this was the part that breaks. Then someone in the UK started making it. The issue is that to do it properly we would need to test it afterwards and sort of calibrate the valve. At the time that was outside of the resources and time I had.
Another option is to use valves that are available for other uses (such as automatic transmissions) but that also leads to research into what is available and what changes need to be made. On EU and JDM cars there is the added problem of having proportional AND directional valves...

I also contacted the original manufacturer but they were not interested in dealing with anyone but mitsubishi.

 

I think this has some potential

 

how is the intake actually getting air without a hole in the headlight? that air guide on the rail doesn't do much (and can't fit my radiator, csf, which has a bump there for reasons unknown to me. obviously the box is not air tight lol but there can be a lot of suction depending on boost

 

@kyoo That's why we relocated the ACD, my friend

 

ah gotcha.

 

I love this part of the forum because no one is bothered about carbon fibre bling..

 

although I'm terrible at it I was planning to try cf when i have a mould and it gets warmer

Temp filter I have on stock. Seems k&n ru1008 is too long for me

 

Haha I love it. Home Depot racing department for the win.

 

That's exactly what I call it lol. Lets see if it melts
