does anyone know were i can get a cold air intake sste for my 850

Hey firefighter,there are several places(marques)that do an cold air intake for the 850,take a bit of time and searcht the internet)I for instance got an BMC (carbon)unit,a bit deerer than most but one of the best out there(so i've heard)

gr,walter

You asking about a cold air intake or a cool air intake?

Most people call the Cool Air Intake as Cold Air. But some people know the difference, what's it means and what's involved. Which one is firefighter asking for?

I just ordered this one from IPD: ipd Short Ram Intake for ME4 1994-1997 850 Turbo & 1998 C70/V70/S

I got it for 15% off, since they're having their annual sale now.

I just ordered my IPD intake also!!! Great price!!

the problem that I have with the IPD kit is that it does nothing to address the craptastic air intake hose that our cars come with. That corrugated plastic tube REALLY screws up your air flow through the intake. I'm having a local machine shop make me a mandrel bent aluminum tube for my air intake, and connecting it to the turbo via silicone coupler. I also plan to move the battery back to where the stock airbox is and then will move the filter forward to the point where I don't need the tube that attaches to the core support.

You mean something like this then?

ps,i have ordered one,to replace the "craptastistic"plastic tube,lol

Yeah, but mine wont go behind the battery, mine is going to go in front of the battery, and the battery will be back where the stock airbox is. I'm getting a Braille battery - they're about the size of a motorcycle battery, but have the same, if not more cold cranking amps and reserve capacity than a standard car battery. A friend of mine at tire rack can get me one for about 100 bucks.

That is very cool, cant wait to see it. You know you can piece that pipe from parts on ebay. Its come to be known as a 'Sconeman pipe' from a VS member who created the aftermarket pipe and started selling them. You can buy them pre-done or do it yourself for about $40. I like the idea of moving the battery back. Hmmmm, has me thinking.

tell me more, boxpin. What parts do i need?

Here is mine, cost me $40 but I dont remember the exact parts....searching....will post what I find. Make sure when you buy the J-pipe that you get the tightest bend you can find.

Correction....$48, I found an old post on it. Just measure the turbo inlet and the back of the MAF sensor then get silicone connections for both and decide what size pipe you want.

How do you attach the PTC to that? Also, how do you attach the line to the TCV?

I think that is just the intake hose only, that would connect to the side of the heat sheild. I would like to see pictures of how you installed that, or at least the routing. I imagine the low end of the j-pipe is down at the front air dam, right? I do aggree though, that the stock, corregated intake looks restrictive, and the location of the battery is unfortunate (trying to get cold air into a tight space where the battery lives seems counter-intuitive).

More pictures please!

I dont think he has the TCV/BCS connected with the MBC...

I was wondering about the PTC also?

Drill a hole, insert a grommet, insert PTC. Just look at Sconeman's intake pipes for an example.

mine aint turbod

Then why do you want a CAI? lol. Nobody makes a CAI for NA 850s. There's no market for them and they don't provide any gains.
