i found the proto type i made, it gives you a good idea what im talkin about but looks rough and dosnt have the airflow sensor hole this is the bottom half the top looks the same as the pics above or for a little extra can be clear like mine.

also the bottom can be conected to a duct runnin to the front bar.

i have moulds for two differant boxs one with standard piping and intercooler and one to suit front mount

i would expect about $150 for one to suit standard & 200 to suit front mount as its bigger that would include postage within oz

i can sell these boxs but so far ive only had fuct coments not one person said "id be interested" or i would be making more right now give me ten min to pull mine out and i will have the pics up

i am interested mate. thats why im reading this thread. like munkyboy said, all we are looking for is pics of how well it fits, and a price. no offense meant

none taken !

the air box pictured above is to suit front mount it uses a 3" cold air feed from the bottom but as this was the proto type

the holes arnt cut out.

im not sellin these to make money selling them to help yous out as i searched for ages and couldn't find one so thought id make it .

sorry the one in the pics looks scaby but im not pulling my car apart just to sell more i couldnt care less if i sell more or not.

if i do sell i promise the finished item is much better looking fitts straight in wth no mods or if your not happy money back im not some rippoff out to make a buck

yeh jokes funny haha

"i got jokes".

well i guess no one is realy interested in these airboxs. i mean a plastic partition is just as good right?

"yeh right"

i also love how the plastic partitions start vibrating at about 140ks makes a mad sound and leaves awsome rub marks yeh mad might go back onto ebay and waste $90 on one now

hahah calm down man

fark

we asked you to show us the box, so we could see the quality and look etc.

because ive seen ppl try and sell crap on here for large amounts of money before.

and my airbox is very nice thanks. its a single piece of perspex, cut and shaped to snuggly fit the space around the pod.

its not sealed at the bottom, but then why would it be? thats another avenue for cold air to get in.

and it gets its air from a 3 inch tube running from the front bar into the box, from underneath. non of this snorkel bullshit.

btw, the snorkel does not see direct airflow coz its blocked by the bonnet, therefore the air needs to be sucked in to get into the box. so you need a 100% sealed box to use this method, like the standard filter box.

and after all that trouble, you still dont have as much cool air coming in, compared to an open 3 inch tube, not to mention that the snorkel may interfere with your aftermarket intercooler piping.

these air boxs are fully sealed and can run the 3" pipe at the bottom or the original snorkle or both depending on the intercooler piping.

oh and they are about twice the volume of a standard box

HI ALL RECENTLY I FITTED A K&N FILTER TO MY R33 AS I LIVE IN THE BLUE MONTAINS (NICE COLD AIR)

IT MADE A SLIGHT DIFERANCE UNTIL THE CAR WARMED UP THEN IT WAS BOUT THE SAME AS THE STOCK FILTER THEN I TOOK IT TO THE CITY AND I COULDNT BELIVE THE AMONT OF POWER IT LOST I FITTED THE FACTORY AIR BOX BACK IN AND BACK TO NORMAL THE PROBLEM WAS THE 100 DEGREE TURBO PLUMBING BEING RIGHT UNDER THE AIR FILTER I BOUGHT A CLEAR PLASTIC AIR BOX OFF EBAY BUT HAVING NO BOTTOM IT ONLY MADE THINGS WORSE SO IN THE END I MADE MY OWN AIR BOX WITCH FITS THE K&N POD INSIDE AND HAS A BOTTOM TO SEPERATE THE INTERCOOLER PIPING FROM THE AIR FILTER ITS MADE SO MUCH DIFFERANCE JUST WONDERING IF EVERY ONE ELSE FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM AND IS THERE ANY COLD AIR OR AIR BOX KITS FOR THE R33 IVE ONLY SEEN THE TVR ONES WITCH ARE ALSO SUCKING STRAIGHT UNDER BONETT AIR ....

REASON I ASK IS I STILL HAVE MOULDS SO IF ANYONE WANTS ONE I CAN MAKE MORE

I want one! lol, got a fmic and a pod too, but dnt really wanna get rid of the pod, how much wud u sell me a mould for?

i probly wouldnt sell the moulds but a finished box with the cleartop like the one pictured would be $200 posted to your door i think thats pretty fair it takes about half a day and $60 in products to make one.

it would be finished though not like the one above.

including bracket to mount to original air box location.

  • 3 weeks later...

man im dead set interested in one of these, ive got a r34 gtt with rb25det

would this mould fit into one?

if so consider one sold.

ive got front mount so only need a hole for afm and the induction pipe opening for turbo.

pm me.

cheers, Bass

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
