Custom air box

[Grant]

No he hasn't.

Niall, you are talking about making a fiberglass/ally box to enclose an air filter, yet there are ones already available on the market.
How samm of an air filter are you planning on using if you are going to get it any damn smaller?!

Yes i do.
You are clearly not paying any attention. its not size thats an issue (first time I've said that) but shape. Due to the angle the pipe comes from the charger and the location of the inlet pipe to the mani, the chances of finding a generic air box which will fit my filter yet fit in the space i have with a cold air feed to it are very slim. If i can find one (unlikely) or make one which will fit around the current air filter position then that will work.

But you're creating work for no reason...

Buy a generic enclosed air box, sack off the silly scoop that is evidently good for nothing under the existing filter, and put an enclosed filter in its place... If it is on flexi pipe, then the angles of the pipe from the charger pose no issue.

You know full well how hot that heat shield was getting that you made, it is serving more bad than good. Get rid of it, create more space, and fit an enclosed filter for a fraction of the price of fabricating a custom one would be.


Get some pics up, it would help this greatly..
