Custom air box

[Niall]

So you don't have room to have an enclosed filter, but you have room to make a custom air box?



Why not focus your efforts on making a custom air feed? That is the bare roots of the problem. You need cold air getting to the filter.

Yes. A standard filter box is generally square and bulky but if i can build a custom one, i can fit it to the area i have.

Does the filter temp make that much difference? Surely the charger heats it up a lot more anyway? So a bigger IC might be more beneficial than a better cold air feed?

If the intake temp is high, its a vicious cycle. It heats up the air going into the IC, hotter air passing though the IC, hotter air in the engine bay feeding back into the air filter.
