Cold air intake question

[Neuk_]

Reminds me of the days when I had my 1992 VW Caddy running a mildly modified 2.0 16v on 45mm Precision ITB's Anyway, a CAI won't make much difference other than noise and unless you are going mud crawling or installing the CAI stupidly low, I wouldn't worry about water ingestion. And also remember, very very very very very important to remember, is that there is always a MkI Golf faster than you!

It is part of a 3 stage process.

1) Cold air intake
2) Free flow exhaust, including custom headers
3) Reprofiled camshaft (mild, not wild. Still want it to be a daily drive)

Do all these Golf Mk 1's with the huge intake on the grill experience engine failures? Am I missing something?

What are you hoping to achieve with this?
If you want to make it less reliable, then carry on.
If you want to use more fuel, then carry on.
If you want to make the car turn into your new hobby, carry on.

If all you want to do is learn this, then don't use a car you want to daily. If you want to go fast on a budget, then get a motorcycle.

If she drops her panty for a picanto, she'll drop it for a R20 note too.

Get one of these and put a hairdryer in the intake.

Faaaark. Completely forgot why I dislike this forum immensely....

 

[RonSwanson]

I'll chop off my head before ever setting foot in Delft.

And Parow? Heard about all the Parow Arrows there...

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

Rule #1 Is don't come to the forum and ask for advice

The rof ones are those from Brackenfell that p0sklap the EFF voters. They're the ones I am more afraid of, @MightyQuin and his tjommies

On a naturally aspirated car, cold air induction won't make any difference except give you some intake noise if you install a bigger air filter. Performance wise - no change. Not on that engine.

You do want the intake to be away from where water can splash on it, since the direct intakes usually bypass all the water traps built into the standard air intakes.

Correct, the air gets heat-soaked from the engine in any case, and its flow on a NA engine isn't sufficient to produce any remarkable difference. CAIs do make a difference if there is a big turbo though. In addition, the intake pipe is usually tuned for the correct harmonics, and fiddling with it on a NA engine will most likely result in performance loss, not gain.

I can save you a ton of money. dont waste your time. Sell the picanto and get something with a turbo and use that as a foundation. Think Corsa OPC, Fiesta ST, hell you can probably (definitely) even consider a diesel

OP can also try a Cyclone fuel saver from a few years ago, it might just work for him.
They are still available today.
