CP-e extension V6 - DONE w/ pics

^^^ Sebas,

I am not sure if 100A is enough for a starter draw. That is the "typical" car audio 4 ga. fuse... but maybe higher for the starter. I keep thinking of the battery RATING, 550cca, 700cca, maybe you are 1000cca, etc...

SURELY the starter doesn't actually DRAW nearly that high... but if it is SEVERAL HUNDRED draw, perhaps you cannot "fuseable link" it so easily.

I am not experienced with this modification... just thinking as I read your good thread.


Very nice job with the elbow extension! That is a great looking fit!

I feel better now...I knew it but I just forgot it !!

Battery Disconnect Switch, Rotary, 250 Continuous Amps Rating, Each

Easily shut down current from the battery.
These Summit battery disconnect switches positively shut off all the current from the batteries in the event of a short or accident. Be safe at the racetrack with Summit.


About the elbow...I found a good place on the web located in Florida. Can do 90,70,45 degrees and straitgh pipe. I'm happy cuz all my little calculation ended right !! Yeah my setup is the easiest to do...just 1 elbow...compare to my initial 3-4 elbow setup passing along the radiator...

Like I said I will work on isolation of the filter and the pipe. I still wonder if the open center filter (dont know how I can call it) but this one...

Can help me especially if I do my cold air box ? Need your opinion on this !

G-Tech unit result will coming "soon" (within 2 weeks I think I can make it !)

You can build yourself your own heatshield out of some sheet metal. The real question is do you want to wrap it wround the filter, or if you want to build a box. The only issue i see right now, is it seems as though there isn't a log of air flow into your area. When i did the Cold Air extension on my camry, i cut out part of the metal near the wheel cover to fit it, and put the filter right next to the fresh air hole in the body kit. With your setup, you'll get a little spill off from the gap on the radiator, a little from the gap above the radiotor. But with things sealed up underneith, you are not going to get a huge flow of cold air. So if your going to make a box, you need to make sure you have some sort of cold air supply for it. For the dimensions of the box, i recomend using the template of the battery holder that you attached your ground wire to. And build it strait up and put some sort of a heat resistant foam on the top. This way it's sealed up when your hood is closed. And build it forward along the engine side all the way forward to the edge of the radiator to block out that heat. At that point, all you'll need to figure out is how to get more cold air in from underneith. Perhaps cutting a hole in the spash cover and putting in some sort of round pvc pipe to flow the air upward. Hope this gives you some ideas.

Thanks anyhow..

I made all my temp test before choose which location I gonna put the filter. I even use huge engineer software (at my job, my friend is fluid engineer) to simulate the flow of my setup to see if the flow is still the same at the sensor. I do get more then 5% air coming from radiator in this spot. And the air from the fog light where is is the fresher go up in the filter. I will just do an heat shield to bloack the engine radiation more then engine hot air. But it is just little improvement. for the Cold air box I will use first card board to draw the perfect shape...then I will use some aluminum sheet and then some rubber on the top to shape it to the hood.

Sebas - do you still have the OEM plastic shroud under your front bumper installed? Removing that will give you a lot more upward airflow. It does little to protect anything under there anyways - unless you drive a lot of gravel roads out in the country.

I didn't took off the OEM plastic shroud...maybe I can do it for summer...but for winter it may help to avoid salt in the engine bay !
