I am VERY CURIOUS about this picture of what looks like a brilliant cold air induction system. Seen Pics of Ken's vans many times, and chatted with him often online...
KEN, IF YOU ARE OUT THERE, CAN YOU SHARE SOME MORE DETAILS ABOUT THIS PLEASE?
I too have seen Ken's van many times and never thought to ask him about this modification. So I did ask him, and here is what he said.
"Morning Billo,
well.....thats just what you see, my air intake system. I had nowhere to put it as you can see how close the throttle body is to the side panel. So I snaked it out the side under the seat and back in under the alternator. From there it does a 90deg turn forward towards the grille where it attaches to the mass air sensor and finally gets topped off with a cone type K&N filter. Works really well, and doesnt have to breath hot under hood heat.
Plus if the time comes to ever put back to original, all that's required would be the RS panel...no holes were cut in the van."
AAhhh those clever Canadians !!!!!
Thanks so much, Billo! I'm rarely on other van sites lately, so I'm quite out of touch with him! Great details of what he did!
