Cai Box

[Tangles]

OK.

Who here has a completely closed ColdAirInduction airbox to fit pod filters?

Obviously to suit Stageas, Series 1 and/or 2.

Im keen to get one on my S1 Stagea prior to going for the bigger turbo & injectors and the retune, so Ive got my feelers out at the moment.

I like Maxx's CAI box, probably could alter it somehow (Im not good with my hands tho). Id end up using the normal snorkel air feed plus a feed of air from underneath. Just that I dont want to waste near $200 if it doesnt fit, and pay out someone another $100 to alter it to fit.

Terminal, Ice12, did you fellas end up getting one and trying it out for size? If so how did it go?

Has anyone seen a CAI fully closed box to suit a pod filter for the Stageas? AMS, have you seen anything as yet via MonkeyWarehouse?

Cheers all, Brendan

I've had mine on for about a year now. i have pictures in my gallery, but it's down at the moment. work well, i haven't completely sealed it yet, that's a job for another weekend (Also when my hand isn't broken anymore)

Where did you get yours from Terminal? I wouldnt mind one either, not for its intended purpose, but mainly to have an enclosed pod, so no defect for that if I get pulled over

[Terminal]

From Maxx, it was an R34 one, but my brother got an R33 and they were almost identical, both fitted in my car.

i used it for that same reason, so i have an enclosed box around my pod. as i said, it's not 100% enlosed, but i've got a massive list of things to do and it's not up the top. (garden needs a lot of work)

it works for now and i haven't had any issues yet.

So you are saying for sure that Maxx's R33 AND R34 cai box fit into your S1 Stagea with no fitting problems?

Cheers............. which one are you using?

link to maxx's thread if possible, l'm interested.

I'm using the R34 one without the opening for the snorkel, my brother had an R33 one with the snorkel opening. It has a perspecs top to it as well, so you can see the pod underneath the box.

i can't remember the thread, it was a long time ago i bought this, let me have a look and i'll see if i can dig it up

group buy?

Hmmm at $200 it is either Alex's wing or this, so I'll be going for the wing and grab one of these later, thanks for the info everyone!

Sounds like a plan

Monkey Warehouse will be working on these types of things soon somthime.... But when I finally get around to finishing my website, I'll talk to a few of these people and see if they would like to supply their product through my website... I want to make it full of these usefull things which we all need

I want you to fill it with these useful things.

If all goes to plan I'll have a Stagea in the upcoming months, and I'll need somewhere to deck it out with parts.

Yes well that is the plan

I'm just still searching for some more things to stock.... I will be stocking Leatherette seatcovers. Hopefully for Stagea's too

SO BASICALLY - If you see anything which you think I should sell in my store, gimme a yell and we can sort somthing out

[Tangles]

I bought Maxx's CAI box (that fits both R33 and r34 - its one and the same from what I understand).

It'll have openings for the air snorkel and standard intercooler piping. Going to paint it black in high-temp paint to give the engine bay a stock look.

With me not driving for a while (knees) I'll take my time fitting it along with more 4ply thermalflex silicon fmic join sections that I need to finalize around the wheel arches, and maybe throw in a dry-type air filter such as an Apexi one, dunno about that tho. Plus I'll add an air-feed from underneath the car - should be good.

I'll let you all know how it goes. Just getting things ready for a larger turbo/injectors combo at the end of the year (hopefully).

So I'll be selling a standard R33 airbox with hi-performance BMC filter (new), and custom R33 heatshield maybe with my K&N wet-type airfilter - all in good time.

You dont muck round do you Brendan! Lemme know how it fits ay

For sure, dont have the cash but, as per the saying I got from you - MEH

I dont think the debt-collectors will be knocking on my door in a hurry, threatening to beat me sensless; the last lot ended up in our buildings foundations (shhh)

Terminal has one, and if he says it fits then thats the Gospel for me. Cheers!

[AMS]

lol go and steal my saying why dont you!

meh

You can never steal the face!

Yeah so lemme know how the whole thing goes. On a side note, I'm getting the IEBC installed on Wednesday... The guy was a lil confused. Why the hell does it have a line to the injectors?

[Tangles]

Ok.

Got Maxx's CAI box unit, very well made so can see where the $$ went.

Side part fits up with a slight bend to one fixing tab. But the lid definately wont fit, looks like I have to cut about a thrid of the lid away to make it fit snugly, that includes part of the perspex cover.

Also, due to the angle of the box in the Stagea the snorkel air feed now wont fit. So, Im going to talk to a local sau member about making up One MASSIVE BIGARSED air feed, ie like the standard snorkel, in metal with the correct angle I need to fit, but big like a SS Inductions / HSV aftermarket air feed.

So it'll be sit in front of the engine bay like one of those Falcadore aftermarket units. Will update with photos once the lid is cut back and the big snorkel air feed is made up.

Sweet, that would be great if you could make more of these intakes because my stagea never came with a snorkle at all
