Well, miracles do happen, and in this case I finally got off my back side and made up a template for my cold air box.

All the pics, templates and instructions can be found here:

Any comments all welcome as I'm sure there are a few things I've left out that a few people might pick up on.

And if anyone has any input into the instructions please let me know and I'll add or modify them.

Thanks

Jayson

BTW, I haven't studied it too carefully yet (no time at the moment), but where is your cold air feed. You aren't using the old intercooler pipe as you've got a stock one, right?

When I make this up, I'll use the old pipe as the cold air pipe, but I'm just curious how yours is set up.

Cheers,

Mine sucks air from around the headlight, but as well as that I've cut a 80-90mm hole in the inner guard (there's a few pics of it on the web site) just to make sure it get's enough air.

Using the stock hole where the intercooler pipe was would be perfect. Just make sure it breaths OK and the hole is big enough.

LOL - yepp, the site should be up for a while yet....

If anyone isn't confident on making one I can cut one and post them off. But as the metal has cost me some $$$, I'll have to ask for some money for the metal, my time, and postage.

But I'd say anyone would be able to make it using that template, the hardest part would be installing it. Just really fiddly more than anything.

so as for feeding the cold air into the enclosure

youve got a hole into the wheel arch and a hole in the engine bay where the intercooler pipe goes??

im worried about the box gtting enough air but also that the air it gets isnt full of dirt/moisture eg kicked off the wheel or sucked up too low to the ground....

any suggestions as to how to 'feed' the air into the enclosure?

otherwise good work with the template, im having to modify slightly for an R32 but will keep the cardboard thing if you wonah post that on your site as a reference for all us 32 guys!!

Adam 32,

Have a good look at the pics on my site, you see that I've still got both intercooler pipes in place and how the filter breathes.

The filter breathes through the front of the box (hasn't got a front on it) from around the headlight. And then I put a hole into the inner guard just incase.

If you haven't got a black plastic inner guard around your wheel then you might get some crap come up to the hole.

I've got my plastic guard in place and I've been running the box and filter like that for about 9 months and the filter is still almost like new (I check it every 5000km when I do an oil change).

i did a partition yesterday, worked really well. after a big freeway run i felt the filter and its dead cold!! so thanks for the ideas, i duno about performance increases but i guess it may get better as i up the boost, its gotah be doing something!

just have to find a way to make the aluminium more reflective rather than absorbant cos it gets bloody hot after a while!

Sorry guys, looks like that address isn't hosting the templates anymore :P

I've zipped the pics and instructions up into three zip files, just download them and extract them all.

When you print the templates, just make sure you print them in full A4 size so you keep the original size.

Cheers

J

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
