I have just completed a bit of a DIY job for a fabricated air box that you all might find enjoyable for the upcoming weekend.

You can head down to Bunnings you can pick up a piece of sheet metal (1mx1m) for around $25. Using an old Kellogs box from the kitchen I measure out the dimensions accross the bottom of the pod and the sides which I then sketched onto the box.

With a pair of scissors I cut out a template and then transfered the design onto the sheet metal. Using a pair of standard cutters I then cut the design out of the metal and folded the sides up and attached a small hinge for the top piece.

Using small metal srews and a cordless drill I then attached this homemade box around the pod and wolla! done! You would be surprised at just how professional it looks provided you take your time measuring out the correct size. Spray it black if you want and it looks pretty much standard other than the fact that it is much bigger than the standard box and has a kick arse pod inside. For those wanting it to go further make a dual wall and fill it with insulation

All up less than $50 and 2 hours work.

Another tip would be to go to Clarke Rubber and buy 1m of thick vaccum hosing and run this to the front of the box and attach it under the front spoiler where nobody can see it.

I know it sounds a bit 'homemade' but remember the goldern rule 'measure twice and cut once' and if you take your time it will look and work great.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
