POWER, PERFORMANCE & ECONOMY is what is achieved by installing one of these Orssom Performance Cold Air Intakes!
“No wonder ORSSOM is the VE Holden owner’s most popular choice when it comes to Over The Radiator Cold Air Intakes”.

Due to overwhelming sales and popularity of the Orssom Performance Cold Air Intake (Aust reg design No: 315677) to keep up with demand Orssom have recently started manufacturing these intakes out of a premium quality OEM grade injected plastic.
Orssom Performance products are NOT vacuum formed or rotational moulded like most cheaper intakes in today’s market, which use recycled plastics.

Orssom products are made from factory OEM grade plastic material similar to that found in other plastic components under you bonnet. Other inferior grade, competing products over time, will not stand up to the under bonnet temperatures resulting in cracking & distorting, neck areas collapsing, air filters falling out of them until finally they find their way into the rubbish bin.

Using a genuine K&N air filter with a huge surface area, the Orssom OTR offers huge flow with perfect filter retention. The filter has an outside width 478mm (18.813"), outside height of 144mm (5.688") and an outside thickness of 30mm (1.188").
Once installed to the vehicle, the filter is retained in a recessed base and is then securely seated by the top cover assembly which is then screwed down.  Nothing but cool, clean air will ever get past this air filter!

The Orssom OTR kit is specifically designed for the DIY enthusiast and can be fitted using simple hand tools in around 30mins! The package includes the high grade plastic OTR, a K&N panel filter, full fitting kit and we even provide installation instructions! If that's not enough, a range of helpful videos can be found on the Orssom youtube channel shown below!

What you get in this OTR Kit:

• Top Intake Cover

• Fitting Instructions

The benefits of the “Orssom Performance” intake over the competition are:

• Due to the wide, beautiful flowing design of the Orssom OTR, you do not need the extra expense of side dress up panels as with other brands
• NO laying back of radiator to fit the intake
• NO cutting or lengthening of any electrical wires
• NO cutting of any body panels to fit intake
• NO removing bumper bars to clean or replace air filters
• MAF fitment, (Must be fitted with the factory Air Flow Meter)
• Due to no modifications to the car, the car can easily be returned to standard when selling etc
• Strong design and internal bracing means this OTR will never crack, deform or let anything past the filter but clean, cool air
• Safely and securely packaged in a purpose designed shipping carton with moulded foam supports

Don’t let the sleek, Factory appearance of the intake fool you! Immediately upon installing the intake, you will notice the instant throttle response and smoothness in acceleration. You will also notice, you don’t have to accelerate as far to get you to the speed you were traveling prior to fitting the intake. Under hard acceleration the intake gives a nice deep, throaty induction sound, just enough to let the guy at the set of lights next to you, know that you have some serious business under the bonnet!

Extensive research and development has gone into designing the Orssom Performance Over The Radiator Cold Air Intakes. Be it on road testing, track or on the dyno the following are major proven factors that will be achieved when fitting an Orssom Performance OTRCAI to your vehicle.

On the Street:

• Cooler air intake temperatures
• Increased air flow to your engine
• Increase in power and torque
• Excellent throttle response
• Improvement to your fuel economy
• Orssom induction sound
• OEM style for that stealth under bonnet appearance

On the Strip:

• Cooler air intake temperatures
• Increased air flow to your engine
• Increase in power and torque
• Excellent throttle response
• Gains between 1 to 3 mph terminal speed
• Orssom induction sound

Recently poor quality copies of these intakes have surfaced on the market.
How to identify a copy:

• Genuine Orssom Performance Intakes have several distinguishing marks and features on them.  You will view these marking shown in our product photo's listed.
• Genuine Orssom Performance Intakes are Injected Plastic not Fibreglass
• Genuine Orssom Performance Intakes have the Orssom Performance  Logo embossed on the Top lids
• Genuine Orssom Performance Intake have 2 support braces which are located at the front opening on the Top lid

Tuff Car Parts are a fully authorised ORSSOM dealer and you can be assured of being supplied with a 100% GENUINE ORSSOM intake!

Don't take our word for it though! See just how these are for yourself!

Fitment notes:

• Suit VE SIDI V6 3.6lt Commodore - Sept 2011 Up to 2013.  For vehicles built Aug 2011 and earlier please see our other listings.
• Designed to retain your standard airflow meter (MAF).
• This kit does not include the airflow meter, you must use your original factory unit.
• Please check the picture of the MAF sensor shown in our images, to ensure your car matches this. If your sensor looks different, then this will not fit.
• The intake can be installed in around 30 minutes, with the aid of: 7mm & 10mm socket and ratchet, Phillips head and straight blade screw driver, sharp knife or razor blade to trim the hood seal.
• Easy to follow fitting instructions come in the kit.
• A custom tune is recommended when fitting this product.
• For further information, please review the installation instructions shown in the images for this listing.

Please take the time to read the information below as to why we recommend a tune be carried out when installing this particular product.

Engine Management Light:
The engine management light on your dash is also known as the EML. This light comes on when one or more of your sensors are not functioning properly Or the Maps that are set in your factory computer have gone over their set parameters, detailed below.

Fuel Trims:
Monitored by the Oxygen sensors, Fuel trims are used to (+) add or (-) subtract fuel from the engine. Why were fuel trims created? In order for vehicle manufacturers to comply with EPA emissions regulations.

Oxygen Sensors:
The purpose for Oxygen sensors which are fitted in the Exhaust systems is to sample the Air Fuel mixture & along with many other sensors located on your motor relay messages back to the factory computer on what’s happening at various points in the engine.

The Air Flow Meter:
In your VE Commodore the Air Flow Meter, Also known as a Maf sensor, is used to calculate the amount of air flowing thru the sensor & into your engine. The engines uses rpm in conjunction with the (MAF) to calculate engine load.

Factory Computer:
The factory computer has basic maps & parameters Tuned / Programmed in by the Manufacturer. Apart from the basics, the purpose of the computer is to carry out necessary adjustments to Fuel / Spark / Timing maps depending on the information it receives from these sensors

The EML light coming on is not a common problem, but can arise on some vehicle from time to time which are more sensitive than others.  In some cases, the fuel trim maps can go over the factory set ( + / – ) 15% parameter limit & trigger the engine light on the dash to come on. The factory sensors mentioned above are all working properly & have recognised the extra air now entering the engine, but the factory computer as yet has not compensated for that extra air.

This is not a product fault, regardless of which brand intake product that you install, you may still experience the same outcome with the EML. This EML light coming on is not only pinned down to Cold Air Intakes. On some cars fitting a sports exhaust has been known to trigger the EML light. If you do happen to experience an EML light coming on or have a combination of both intake & exhaust fitted to your vehicle and the light hasn’t gone away within the first 500km’s of driving, then we do strongly recommend a custom tune be carried out, as the factory parameters are stretched to their limit.

3 simple things we recommend you do:

• If using E10 fuel get rid of it! Fill up your next tank with 95 or 98 Octane fuel. Even though your fuel cap says E10 suitable, we do not recommend it for maximum performance.
• Disconnect your car battery for at least 15 mins. This will reset the factory computer and wipe out the engine light fault on the dash.
• rive your car for at least 300 to 500km for the computer can learn the new values. If the EML light doesn’t go off by then a custom tune is required.

Orssom Performance products are backed by a 12 months Manufacturer's Warranty from purchase date, against faulty manufacturing (Failure to follow fitting instructions procedure will void warranty).
