BMC CDA fited to 2.5 V6

Did this a while back - just thought I would share

My bargain BMC CDA arrived today

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ize/BMCCDA.jpg

Car up on axle stand

Intake removed & battery tray out - 13mm & 10mm sockets & 10mm spanner

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/P5190002.jpg

'snorkel' prised off the airbox & bolt removed with 8mm socket from underside

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/P5190004.jpg

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/P5190010.jpg

Bracket removed from rear of airbox with 10mm socket to ease removal

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/P5190003.jpg

I undid electrical connectors to give more room

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/P5190005.jpg

Airbox half way out

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/P5190006.jpg

Result - it's out! - bit of jiggery pokery involved getting it through coolant pipes etc

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/P5190007.jpg

Old & new

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/P5190008.jpg

Bolts in existing airbox sheared (of course! [:P] ) while removing MAF housing (10mm socket)

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/P5190009.jpg

I 'kinked' the fixing strap through 90º to enable fixing of CDA

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/P5190011.jpg

I fixed the strap using the same bolts that fix the fan to the rad (8mm socket)

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/P5190012.jpg

CDA then fixed to this using 10mm sockets

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/P5190015.jpg

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...e/P5190013.jpg

Battery tray & intake re-fitted

Have beer while doing write-up []

Not fitted duct to bottom of CDA yet [:$] , but will do so before driving in the p*ssing rain []

Re: BMC CDA fited to 2.5 V6

Induction noise is great! Performance wise slightly better, but assume it will imrove when ducting is fitted
At the mo I suspect my set-up is creating suction within the CDA

Re: BMC CDA fited to 2.5 V6

Ok not sure I'd wanna go through the prosses of fitting that, as my technical abbiliaty is bad(really really bad).
Where could i pick one of these up and also have it fitted at the same time??

Re: BMC CDA fited to 2.5 V6

I would have thought any decent 'tune-up' place could supply / fit one, but there's not that much to it really if you can turn a spanner
