Hi all,

I would like to make a new intake under the headlight to a pod on my BF after fitting up the new cooler.

I was hoping to use the following materials starting from the turbo to the pod only.

* 3" to 3.5" reducer 45 degree

* short piece of 3.5" alloy pipe

* 3.5" 45 degree bend

* short piece of 3.5" alloy pipe

* 3.5" 90degree bend

* short piece of 3.5" alloy pipe

* Pod filter 3.5" hole 6 inch long

I have read that the battery tray may need some trimming to fit the pipe under neath but will the 3.5" pipe fit underneath the headlight?

Is that all the materails that is needed or am I missing a a small bend somewhere?

Is it really worth stepping up to the 3.5" from the 3" all the way as I believe the 3" doesnt involve any cutting of the battery tray?

Cheers

To correct my last sentence after searching I have found that the 3" pipe does involve some of the battery tray to be trimmed aswell

the 3.5 wont fit without a huge headache, even the 3' JUST fits.. most BA/BF headlight on the drivers side still sit up a little once a bigger UBP is fitted..

far enough I think I'll stick with the 3". I took the front bar off tongiht and checked out what clearance I had. I can see that I will need to trim a small part of the battery tray to get a smooth run through.

Still a little unsure if I have the right materials list to do it though, even if I do change it all to 3"...?

On another note I was just doing a little test fit of the 600x300x76 cooler and I can see why people seem to fit the cooler to the left an inch due to the connection fitted to the condensor itself on the passenger side that sticks out.. looks like im going to have to take what I can from the front bar and reweld it since the seam weld will be gone near each end of the cooler.

The cooler should "just" fit but its going to be extremely tight. The other A/c line that's in the way had to be bent up a rediculous amount to stay out of the way for the future fitting. Just trying to get everything ready for fitting at this point in time.

you can CAREFULLY bend that aircon line out of the way about 1 inch... do it very slowly and gently it should be fine.

Hey man

did you end up working out what pipes you need for the UBP, I'm doing mine this weekend and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah bud I did it all in 3 inch but I had to holesaw a 90mm hole just in front of the battery for the elbow to a pod coz the 3 inch won't get under the headlight good. Had to cut the back of the battery tray out too.

I needed 2 45's and a 90

thanks man
