9psi EB

Just finished modifying the induction on my EB, using an EF airbox ducted into the front wheel arch, and also modded the water injection setup.

This totally beats running a pod filter, it has dramatically increased response, and the car runs a lot more consistant - no more sluggishness on warmer days.

Will post pics soon.

Isn't there a vacuum in the wheel well from the aerodynamics of the car? (Don't know, just asking.) I thought the main idea was to get air from the front of the car, such as the grill before it goes through a radiator etc.???

Here's my method, Lose the pipe and cut/ flute the air box straight through the inner gard the entire side of the box that faces the gard, and couple the gard to the air box with a pinch weld strip

I've had this mod done on my EB for the last 4 years and never had a drama ( not even with water splashing up from the wheel)

Good luck

Hi,

Ive heard of good results using the air snorkel from a XG ute and the standard air box on the EB. Its a bigger opening and I think it screws on a bit more to the side so its not right over the radiator. I will probably be doing this to my EBII very soon as it suppose to be better than a pod drawing air in from under the bonnet.

Nah, XG's are crook. Your thinking XH!

Baeddan, you're right, there is a vacuum from under neath the car, the best place is where the standard intake collects it from as it is a positive pressure point. but if it works well enough down there thats even better.

Oi! Take it easy on XG Raptor... just cos you got rid of yours! Nothing wrong with it that heart transplant won't fix.
