matth76 1 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 HiI have a Golf VR6 (1997 ODB2) and want to buy a BMC CDA induction kit for it. I believe the retail price is £160. Are there any cheaper places to buy it, or can anyone get hold of one for a cheaper price and ideally within 2 weeks?Thanks for any help.I live in West Sussex by the way.CheersMatt Link to post Share on other sites
bazz780 0 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 hi matt, obviously you have overlooked my group buy that is going on, 150 pounds including delivery and the rubber hose piece that is needed to fit to VR6. VAT etc all in.check out the group buy section and put your name down if interested, a couple of weeks should be possible but not guaranteed as its taking time to gather interest.let me know, cheers Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Cheers Baz. Thanks for the offer. Looks good. However just spoke to Vince and he is fitting one to my car for 160 all in when I visit him soon as I'm having other stuff done at the same time ...so he's fitting it for free. Thanks anyway.Cheersps. However if you or anyone else knows where I could pick up some really long hose/ duct piping (cold air feed) to fit to the end of the BMC so it can reach to just behind the front bumper grill please let me know (as I believe the standard duct piping that comes with the BMC kit is pretty pathetic and can't reach down to the bottom of the engine bay easily.Thanks for any help.

bazz780 0 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 motorworld do different lengths and im sure halfords do as well.might be worth a look (could always use washing machine 'water out' pipes) Link to post Share on other sites
Ciaran 4 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 washing machine outlet pipes are like 20mm would restrict the flow surly!! Link to post Share on other sites
bazz780 0 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 just a random idea lol Link to post Share on other sites
stockers 1 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 r-tec design do that piping, different lengths etchttp://www.r-tecautodesign.com/ Link to post Share on other sites
stockers 1 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 or for a cheaper option try somewhere like wickes building supplies, they will have something like flexible alluminium piping for central heating or air conditioning, which will be flexible enough to get round the obsticles under the bonnet Link to post Share on other sites
jezmoz 0 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 the piping i got was excellent stuff really strong but maluable, long enough to act like a leaf hoover. Got it from vinesh on ed38.com , decent bloke fair prices www.eurotek-online.com 0208 916 2116 Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Stealth Racing should have some spare ones knocking about they might sell you cheaply.Pete Link to post Share on other sites
jezmoz 0 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 p.s. stay clear of wank halfords ripspeed shite, it literally rips, and the DIY heating vents that you get for dryers etc imo look wank and are not up to the job, either get a proper bmc cda one, you should get one with it, as has been said you'll need to bend it around the headlamp supports. There's also http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=MSPORT&pcode=SFSSFD25-1 which is high temp, good quality stuff Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 any hose supplies shop will have flexible ducting... the bmc stuff is long enough but cant bend in a very tight curve Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Thanks. What diameter (mm) does it have to be to connect to the front of the BMC, and how does it attach... jubilee clip? I'm getting my BMC beginning of March at Stealth so haven't seen what diam the cold air feed hole. From what I've heard the standard BMC cold air feed cannot reach down to the bottom of the engine bay to sit behind the centre area of the grill in the front bumper... not unless the carbon canistor is removed. I need something that will reach down far enough down towards behind the front bumper grill in the centre. Halfords one is too short. I've tried various DIY and accessories shops and the aluminium ones are far too smaller diameter and very weak and tear easily (I know from experience on my last car). I'll ask Vince when I see him if he has longer cold air feeds than the standard BMC one and see what he says. Thanks for the links. I'll check them out.Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
jezmoz 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 jubilee clip and i think it's about 80mm ???? I would move the cannister to the other side like many on here by using extended tubing, gives more room for CAI , and there's an identical dock on the other side forget halfords exists Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 If the cold air feed is long enough I should be able to feed it down to the centre of my front bumper just behind the front grill, without removing the carbon cannistor... I've checked and there's a big gap to a allow a piece of ducting hose through. I don't have air con or anything either.Next question - how could I attach it to behind the front bumper grill (it's just below the radiator)? Link to post Share on other sites

I'm assuming it's the diameter. Doesn't say how long it is though. I'll give them a ring. Would you recommend going for the double ply or single ply? I may opt for the double just to be safe. Can anyone confirm what the cold air feed diameter has to be to fit to the opening of the BMC?Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I use the demon-tweeks high temp pipe on my intake. The closest size is 82mm and I think they come in 1 metre lengths. 80mm is a difficult size to get! Link to post Share on other sites
jezmoz 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 yep 82mm , the jubilee clip will sort out the 2mm difference, double ply is more expensive , think either will do the trick to be honest Link to post Share on other sites
Ciaran 4 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 well where about would i get extended tubing to move my canister????my mate is a plumber and he is going to build me a cold air feed that goes right to the vent in the front bumper.just a question but would it be better to put the BMC where the original air box is or should i build an extension and put BMC at the end behind the bumper??? Link to post Share on other sites
jezmoz 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 keep the bmc where the original box is, halfords sell fuel line, i think you need 10mm and 8mm (think) tubing and some hose cuplinks and jubilee clips and some decent size tie wraps, it's easy, just make sure you get the correct size cuplinks and diameter/length of tubing. The cannister pulls up and slides out, don't try and unscrew it or pull it forwards, do a search on here there's loads about it this guy did a good job of it, http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?84513.post i put my lines across the slam panel, each to thier own.

Ciaran 4 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 well everybody seems to just remove them and block up the appropriate pipes think il just do that and if their is a smell of petrol then il reposition it don't see the point in giving myself extra work!!

jezmoz 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 furry muff , each to thier own matey , good luck and there are purpose built ducts that the CAI can attach to, they replace the black grills in the bumper but I just put into the bumper, laods of cold air near the wheel arch, and a plastic protector to stop it sucking up shit Link to post Share on other sites
