Airbox off for trumpet pampering
Who the hell said taking the airbox off was straight forward!!!!
5 hours bonnet up to down... Inlets got a good clean. unbelievable how shitty the inside of the airbox was New igt filter fitted trying to get the oil drain back into the box was epic. A genuine tip for inlet clips....make sure you don't drop any post airbox fitment....FCUK also for anyone thinking of airbox therapy make sure you slacken both 10mm nuts holding the base of the airbox onto the metal support bracket.... will give a full step by step method if anyone wants an idiots guide!!! |

I've just done mine too in the last few days, an absolutely back breaking job
 I too was amazed at the crap (and grit) in the bottom of the air box, a fair bit of oil around the rear three trumpets too. A good spray with maf cleaner and a hoover sorted that out.

Def more noise from the ITG filter.
Second time you take the air box off it's much faster - just don't knock off one of the splitters with you shoe, like I did. Forgot to say - my problem first time round was getting the bottom air intake to mate properly - fixed with some gaffer tape to hold the top part of the tube to the air intake whilst negotiating the bottom half on (seems easier to do it this way.)

All went well; did an oil and filter change and airbox clean in 3 hours with some dicking about and cleaning thrown in.
The frikkin airbox was skanking as per usual! I'm sure it's just because i know i've just done the work but the car does feel/sound better after an oil change! Feels good doing it for yourself for less ££ too!

Feels great to DYI, doesn't it
but you've missed that oil tray on the floor by a mile mate  The trumpets seem to get this oily due to the S54 being a heavy oil vapour breather and the breather pipe enters the CF air box @ above cylinder/trumpet No. 4/5 and gets splattered over 5 & 6, in the usual forward motion. As a side thought, I've always wondered it this has anything to do with HG failure on the CSL, usually between cylinder 5 & 6 ??? with the Air / Fuel mixture enriched by the extra oil vapour, so maybe burning/detonating at different temps, etc. What's your thoughts on this ?
