Venturi cone for CAI Pipe

[Vipertoledo]

Hi Jhoo and St88,

 

Here's a pic of the venturi cone that was fabicated at Jeep Chee. Its diameter is 2.5" that can be cleanly mated to a 2.5" CAI pipe. The outer cone diameter is 3.5". Of course if you run a different diameter pipe, a matching cone can be fabricated. You should think of how the cone can be properly secured. My idea is to drill a hole into the cone and have it bolted via a metal bracket to the car chassis. Alternatively, a simple cable tie may also be sufficient depending on the position in the engine area.

Thanks V,

 

Does JC does a good job on CAI for stock box? Any indicative price? PM me, thanks.

CAI?

Wat is that? For wat part of the car? Exhaust or engine?

[Octy_xes]

bro...CAI stands for Cold Air Intake...normally to replace the stock airbox and/or to extended it to a position where air is directly obtained from the space at the front of the car...done so as to provide cooler air(i.e, colder air is supposed to have higher oxygen content) for the air-fuel mixture which would lead to better combustion...and it is supposed to increase bhp by a certain %tage....not all of them are equal though...

 

my two cents...

V, thanks for the pic, 1st hand look at your mod would be good.

Hi Jhoo,

 

I would recommend a guy called Alex to DIY the CAI for you. The tubing that he uses is of higher quality than Jeep Chee. Plus he does all the proper steps of heat shielding the CAI tube and securing it well. He has done a couple of our cars. The cost will be more affordable than JC. Will PM you the estimate.

[St88]

Hi V, did Alex do the heat shield mod for your twister? think something like that would be really helpful for mine.

Can install that thing to Octy?

[Skodarr]

Yes.. Will guide your through step by step on the meet up... Talking in person and showing you the item will be the best... Some of the Skodians are installed with CAI... You can have different opinion ya...

[Secondhand]

will installing the CAI cost a bomb?

[Jhoo]

Geeting mine done, just some tubing and heat shield material should be less than $100. Will gheck with Alex who have done some todys before. Are you interested? Will check price and let you know, probably better price for 2 units.

J,

 

 

Alex charges about 80+ for the whole CAI setup....

Yeap, Alex did the heat shield for me.

[Jhoo]

Called him that day, like you've said he's doing his time in the army . Conversation was cut short, he's very busy, looks like got to wait till after CNY.

I'm curious with this CAI attachment... If I go back to CA for... let's say 60k servicing... won't they say "hey, u've mod the engine. We consider ur warranty voided. Take ur car and go home"?

[Jhoo]

I'm not sure CA will have a reputation to void owners warranty bcos of CAI.

 

Any Skoda bros to comment?

[Ajedi72]

With CA anything is possible. Anyway, your warranty ends at 60K or 2 years right?
