Makin Cai Box

[killswitch88]

hey guys i am currently in the process of making a sealed box for my pod and i was just wondering if the size of the enclosure relevant to the size of the pod is at all important? is there a way to calculate it? if the size is important would anybody be able to reccomend the size (in litres plz) that i should make the box for this pod, it is an apexi dual funnel filter (pictured below). Also should the box cover the AFM or not?

any help would be much appreciated

cheers

As far as I am aware the size of the box is irrelevant. For your set-up I would add an extra piece of pipe to locate the pod closer down to the hole in the guard, obviously so the side of the filter is closer not the end and run some ducting from the front bar up to the bottom of the hole.

I think box is kind of the wrong terminolgy think of it more as a shield thats stopping the pod sucking in hot engine air. Make up the sheild to protect the filter from the engine bay heat, and remember if your making it from aluminium use some type of heatmat on the inside. There is no need to contain the AFM in the box.
