Custom air box
#26
Right seeing as you can't get this into your head. The smallest air box i have found that will fit my filter (already very small for the application) is 180mm long. The space between the charger and inlet pipe is 185mm so that would leave me 5mm to swing the pipe from the filter to the charger...not going to happen.
If i mount the 180mm long air box at an angle the same as it currently is then it will fit but partly sits on top of the rad which means i can't close the bonnet....no good.
I can't mount it facing down towards the floor behind the rad because there is a recirc setup there and a oil cooler.

Hence the need for a custom designed air box. I would happily fit a generic one if i can as its a hell of a lot cheaper and easier. The filter needs to stay mounted at the angle it is now which only just fits in under the bonnet. If i can enclose it making use of the space i have (not a generic air box because it won't fit) then it will not suffer from heat soak from the bay and i can feed it from a flexi pipe underneath which i can wiggle round to the grill somehow.
