I'm now in BKK. Coming back on this Sat. Sori no time to take pictures. Anyway take already oso dunno how to upload. So I am getting a frieng for help.
OK here's the results - 2nd/3rd gear can reach 6,000rpm @ 90km/hr & 120km/hr respectively. 4th gear surprising can pass through the 140km/hr mark (but below 150km/hr). But here's d catch - generally set-up includes ngk6 plug/cable. can't beat the effect of TC during pulling, but generally good enough for better driveability.

how? ok? not ok? if ok i volunteer, $20 i can afford the raw materials is less than $20. But the cost in making the bracket and machining the pipe and the time taken on the R&D costs me another $80. Bloody hell, 1 pce mah & the Ah Pai is not so willing to do 4 u. Took me 10 hours & 4 weekend burnt to figure out and make it to my satisfaction.

The "yellow" colour stuffs are not cables, but air hose to the oil catch tank. Basically I fix extra connector at the valve cover. Verdict - very noisy, as if there is a 2nd exhaust at the front due to the strong suction during high rev.
Next Stop - DIY water injection.

BTW, one word of caution.....such set-up is only meant as a cheap alternative option. In other words, high price doesn't always means it's good/better.

but bro, u din factor in ur time n labour cost n warranty. So it all adds up eh! But in the spirit of DIY n knowledge, it's priceless!!! hey bro, let me put it this way. I don't do this for a living. Although the set-up might looks rather straight-foward and simple, fyi I've to go through quite a hassle as well. In fact I've this idea long time ago - as long as during the time when I collect my ride. Just that I was toying ard on a different set-up and decided to give a try on this. anyway it has not disappoint me (so far) just that it's a bit more noisy.

FYI, i'm a firm believer of CAI - but not in the sense that we have to cough out hundreds of $$$. In terms of $$$, it's just a fraction of what we need to pay just to get that "CAI feeling". But in terms of looks, it might looks dull and dim, but what the heck, the most importantly is that it works. anyway just my thought. u may wish to try it on your own.

actually i hv this question for a long time but nv got to trace the set up. for CAI, i know it leads from lower ground (for cooler air) but where does it lead to?
the stock air box? what if is open pod leh? i always thought open pod mushroom is the end of the line liao.
