Thought i should show what im upto and perhaps give some more ideas on how to go about this.

Here's my attempt after being defected for pod without enclosure. :/ Still abit left to do.

Here's some progress pics.

Pics of part of the lid, which will have perspex in the spaces left.

hmmm... well... interesting... :P

it considerably more complex then gts432's or my own, yet doing the same job... which begs the question.. why ? :P

would the end result be capable of taking a cai aswell? because I found the best thing for the heatsheild setup is to be combined with a CAI to actually notice a difference

and as long as its strong, looks good to the owner and performs correctly.. no harm done!

Yes this box im making will have cai from the front bar to the box. Box is completely sealed. Lid has holes left for perspex to be fitted.

Here's the pipe going into the box

Lid painted in Bayside Blue, well base coat of the colour anyway. Not going to put any pearls or anything,

just will put few coats of clear.

Ive went thru all this trouble using fibreglass because ive already had all the material needed as im making a subbox currently as well.

Heres the subbox. I hit it with some paint as well, but had a few mistakes, so have sanded a few places as u can see

Its not a heatsheild, its a sealed enclosure. :) Its also made out of fibreglass and mdf, so it will not be easy for the heat to get thru, whereas in an aluminium heatshield which will heat up because its metal. Hopefully mine works well.

so i added the perspex and put the lid on. I was hoping for more induction noise than what i have now with the sealed pod. You can barely hear the spooling. I guess it means i have successfully sealed the box. O well, i can always remove the lid when i feel like risking it :blink:

funny how diffrent states have different rules . when my son got defected for pod filter and fmic we rang up regancy park and they told us neither was a defectable item . we had to take it to the local police station they rang regancy and they took the defect off . all they was worried about was as long as the pod was secured it was fine they was not worried at all about it been enclosed .

btw nice job on your box and ya sub looks like it will turn out good as well

ye rules are different in each state.

Box has been done already, im moving on to the centre dash surround, which will fit 3 gauges, alpine h/u and safc2. When im finished with the surround, it will be unrecognizable.

Will also start with the amp mounting on the sides to finish off the boot

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
