custom air box help

^hood sealing is a pretty good idea.

See now thats the kinda info i was looking for. Thanks now if i got some pictures I'll be golden.

You don't need pictures, just get a cardboard box and a pair of scissors, pop your hood and get thinking. You'll soon have a whole stack of ideas on your own, and you'll be much happier at the end of it

Aus has got it right, two sheets of cheap galvanized sheet metal with a 1" gap between filled with f/g. Remember not to pack it in there tightly too. If you could manage it, two plates with a complete vacuum between them would work the best.

Not exactly sure of the layout of a N/A, but here is mine on a turbo. More info in my build.

I like the window idea never knew when mine was dirty.

 

[jimi87-t]

Yeah it helps with knowing Just make sure you make it out of scratch resistant lexan.

My filter will live in front of the support panel on the new build so no need for a box or can this time.

 

[jimi87-t]

That will be fun to change/clean

I avoid getting on the ground as much as possible, I'm too long and lanky, I'm like a fish flopping around on the ground trying to get into position to reach stuff:icon_razz

Isn't it uncomfortable having to sit on a phone book to see over the steering wheel?

You could also use a spray foam insulation such as Great Stuff. It has a higher R rating than fiberglass. It's messy and sticky, but it'll work quite well. Remember that it tends to expand when you fill, but once it dries, you can cut it, sand it, fill it, and paint it.

CRE and cuel posting within a few days of each other?! You guys know you're welcome to swing by more often, right?

I never even thought about using that stuff, but that is an excellent idea. I used it for school projects all the time and shaped and cut it all day. Easy to work with and relatively cheap so it has a chance of being a hit with the N/A MKIII crowd...

I've been pretty busy fixing up a second bedroom. My baby girl might be here next week

Amazing how the pending arrival of your first child changes your perspective on what's important...
