And for those who have DCI, and are concerned about all the hot air that gets sucked in...I have thought of using this trick.
I plan on keep using my Vishnu DCI on one intake, and use similar pipes/hose with clamps and direct it lower towards air dam in the front for the other intAke. This way I'll have a DCI/CAI. Not sure if Nyone elsehas tried it, if anyone has, please feel free to give me any points/tips.

I would LOVE to start making these in a kit of some sort but my buddy isn't interested in putting the time in... He did mine as a favor. I wish I had room for a lathe in my apartment lol... Last edited by Zasquatch; 05-28-2011 at 07:39 AM.. |

Looks like you guys have the lack of air volume issues addressed with this mod.

I wondered if throttle response is improved by having the airbox and volume in the hose "immediately available". By this I mean turbos do not have to draw as deep of a vacuum to get airflow moving as compared to pulling the air volume through the filters first. I assume that this is what you are referring to.

I just finished installing everything.... BMW did NOT leave us much room to work with lol. I was planning on making a nice aluminum bracket out of some cheap bar stock but there just was not enough room. Oh well. Everything fit with some massaging, and seems to be secure and tidy.
I'll snap some pics at some point, but it looks just like Mr.5's . |

OK, can I have my stock intake back now?????
I am running the injen DCI and I am very happy with all aspects. This looks so like it was borne there though. Great work! I was thinking about taking a heat shield that I bought a long time ago and running ducting into the brake inlet. I would use square though so it would plug up to the brake duct, then run a second inlet tube to the forward cone from underneath. Ever since I upgraded my fmic I just stopped dreaming about a DIY CAI.

Thanks. It took me long enough to finish. I probably have 1K miles on it by now. I am very happy with the results. My Helix IC is in the garage ready for install as soon as I find the time. |

it will take less time to install the fmic than your intake. I promise! The Helix is stepped and should fit like a glove. Its really the only fmic I like better than my ETS. Since you have the fmic going in, wouldn't you be better off HP wise with DCI"?

Search for Mr.5's testing of this 3" version, it has hard data that's difficult to ignore regarding just how good this setup is In the end it's a matter of preference... Personally I hate the way DCIs look.

That side doesn't pass through the filter. That's why the added filter is needed.

As for DCI vs. Mr. 5 Intake, I agree with Zasquatch: 1. V-Box tested by Mr. 5 (and I believe every little bit helps as far as temp and D/P goes) 2. Looks OEM 3. Doesn't suck dirt / dust under the hood 4. No DV noise |
