this would be too suspicious on the road

i was toying with the idea of fitting the resonator box on my mig but having read the comments about it im not so sure now,i dont doubt the comments made by the owners who have fitted them but comments seem a bit confused.im now thinking along the lines of a large shield around my cone filter and a large cold feed direct to the cone instead.i do like the idea of junking all that  pipework and having a shorter straight route of air to engine just dont want to go to the trouble of making and fitting a box to find out it dont change much.

tbh, i would scrap the cone, get a panel pipercross/k & n filter, and have a direct air feed.
I had a cone and heat shield on mine for a couple of weeks, it makes the car feel like it is being suffocated.
I have the air resonator, i can answer any questions, it does make a difference, but if your unsure, i'd just keep it standard.

i had a busy day today, the result - isolated intake

i really feel the diffirence, especially on low gears

Well thats why in the winter your car typically makes more power...
You get colder air, which means its denser and the computer compensates with slightly more fuel and the result is more power...

You can easily gain 4-5 hp form that especially on a nice hot day....


Looks awesome bud!

Ok, it's time to make some updates to this topic

1. I've painted the roof and mirrors to black with blue & purple pearl, imho looks awesome












Another mod is double twin Irmshcer rear pipes






I have replaced the dual mass flywheel to single mass flywheel (from Vectra V6) and lightened it to 9kg (stock about 15kg), also i needed to use vectra's clutch disc (with springs).

Bored? Time for some modding!




Newer type oil cooler




3.2V6 version exhaust collector = getting rid of EGR and catalysator heating system, all those pipes, pump, valve are removed. At last!




Occasionally some new stuff




And some cleaning...












Little 3.0 pipes mod for fitting 3.2 exhaust collector






Vectra V6 alu covers, painted orange, soooo orange




Engine almost ready






Done

Engines looking good. Im looking at doing the same with my flywheel. just to make sure, if i use a standard vectra flywheel with a vectra friction plate it all works ok? Also did you use the omega pressure plate or the vectra one?
