Running Fmic And Stock Airbox. Wooo!

[jake33]

got around to modyfying my snorkel so its still usable. required a bit of measurement and math but in a nutshell...

1)i just cut out the left hand side of the snorkel.

2)bent some titanium to match the width of the hole i cut out. (bent the ends in, then screwed it to the plastic)

3)then used a high temp silicone to glue it and 100% seal.

4)then painted..

Nice one looks good. Mine is cut in a similar fashion but i have only duct taped it up for now (yes it looks sh1t house).. seems to be holding up well though.

That looks really good, would you be willing to make anymore to sell because i would buy one for sure

[Jdfnq]

going to use your pics very very soon

thankyou

im lazy... im just gunna get a cold air intake thingo done... but i did think about this...

nice work anyway

Also doing this now, good job on the titanium..

Why did you choose titanium? over say normal sheet metal or something thinner..

How much for the titanium and where did you purchase it...

My plan was going to be to use pop rivets and seal it with silicon..

Cheers

Have you also got a cold air intake running from underneath the airbox..

i used titanium simply becuase my stepdad works of aeroplanes and he got me some. no more than an a4 sheet size. maybe a little longer to ensure you cover the whole area you have cut out. however i have no idea where you can buy it, im sure just a bendable sheet of aliminium would do the trick.

i have a cold air intake from where one of the stock cooler pipe was, but had it there for the pod. i woundnt connect it up to the stock box because any induction underneath the box would bypass the filter.. but its still there..

post up ya pics if anyone has there snorkel done.

lol make some more you lazy fu(k. help out your 33 brethren!

nah seriously that looks pretty good man, it was lucky that toad came through with the goods

what if you remake the intercooler pipe?

[jeffworld2]

i am also running around with plastic held by duct tape, it works fine. also cut up the top half of the box so that the inlet is the whole side not just the back half, as i thought i would be losing out by removing half the snorkel. run a pipe straight to the underside of the snorkel from the stock intercooler pipe hole and thats your cai. with both happening i have no loss over a pod, perhaps its better lol. downside to those who care is no bov noise because it is damped heavily by the tape. meh. when you hit 10-12 psi you can hear it whoosh a bit still.

Very nice.

sound interesting... although i think i would rather leave it looking clean, quiet, simple and effective. kinda had that reason in mind when i made it, that if a cop looks under my hood its not going to look too dodgy.

cheers
