Do you own a Holden that has an intake that looks like the pic above? Want to increase the area of the intake by around 50 per cent without spending a cent? Have a sharp knife? Want the mod to be largely invisible? Yes to all those? Well, read on....
We could spend a lot of time padding-out this story - but we won't. So here goes: the 5 minute, zero cost Holden intake mod.
Step 1
Undo the two plastic screws that hold the intake snorkel in place.
Step 2
Lift the snorkel away from the car.
Step 3
Turn the snorkel over and place it on a bench.
Step 4
Look back at the car and note how Holden has already cut a hole through the bonnet locking platform.
Step 5
Use a sharp knife to cut out the bottom, front section of the snorkel - the bit that protrudes through the hole shown above.
Step 6
Inspect the opening that you have made.
Step 7
Trim the edges to make the opening look neat.
Step 8
Reinstall the intake snorkel. Note that now the opening through which air can flow into the snorkel has risen from about 80 square centimetres to about 120 square centimetres - and that the new opening is also picking up air from a high pressure area...
