Intakes

[///Mayhew]

well heres a idea for you, it was acutually what i was plaining on doing. I have a M10 motor so i dont know if you have the same amount of space, but anyway i was goin to run the pipe down on the inside of sub frame to the splash pan, and then out infront of the left front tire i had the hole cut and all but i too was worried about sucking up all the water. I dont know if my description was that good but if you want pm me and i can take a pic of where i mean. Also heres a web site to help you get parts so you dont have to goto a shop and pay out the a$$ for fab work. http://www.turbohoses.com/ Good luck

Don't let it get to you... It's a prerequisite for r3v... Your supposed to feel stupid. It's the method for weeding out the lame-o's I hear you gotta survive for a year or two. That, or, don't post...

well ya, thats why I expected a few "oh great idea" and all that, but all in all just wondering, think ill just take a look at it myself, see what I can come up with.

For all of you block heads thinking that I meant this as to be a "new idea" you are an idiot. I made this thread to get information on people who have actually done this, that actually have this installed on their cars.

I wanted specs and pictures not immature comments, but I was kinda expecting them anyways.

As I recall, I remember seeing a photo of a similar setup. One thing to keep in mind is that when it rains a lot of water will be sucked into this area. It would also decrease the cool air going to your brakes, which may create other problems.

I live in Arizona, not really worried about the rain factor. Thanks tho!

Wow, that's a great idea, can't beleive no one thought of that before.

never said no one thought of it before, I was seeing if anyone on here actually has photos or the dimensions of what they came up with.

Thanks for your inspirational comment.

I must be REALLY lucky!!!

My m3 has the dinan intake and it is inches off the ground behind the driver side tire just above the brake duct...

60,000 miles! Lucky me!

I've seen it done before (not on e30's). It's not a bad idea, but keep in mind that the stock airbox flows pretty well. Either get a high quality K&N cone filter and build a proper heat sheild and CAI tube, or build your CAI tube off of the stock airbox w/ K&N panel filter.

Because this is a new idea, never thought of before, I thought I may share also, AEM makes an intake bypass coupler that prevents Hydroloc due to "water injection" as posted above.
