hey guys. had a few dramas with these boxes.... the lids are so damn hard to fold neatly.

ive come up with a new design, let me know what you think. if it does or doesnt worry you.

Airbox_Side_modded.jpg

ill be using counter sunk allen head screws, so they sit flush with the top, they will also be silver so they wont stand out.

its just so hard to fold the edges over, doing it the other way means all i have to do is cut the shape out and bend some tabs over for mounting the lid.

if you all want the original design, let me know, ill find another way to do it.

cheers

yeh i know the bottom pic looks better dave, but its much harder to get a nice fold. you must remember also that the other pic is photoshopped. it will look much better than it does there. if you want the bottom pic, it requires more labour and more tidy up work.

yeh the screws wont come loose. they havent ever for me, they arent under any stress or movement, so i dont see why they would. but anyway, they wont come loose.

cheers

hey guys, due to the different lid design, i have to buy some extra bits, which incurs a price rise to you guys....sorry, but its either a price rise for parts, or a price rise for labour. me personally, would rather, a price rise for parts. hehehe sorry bout dat.

airboxes will now be $130, sorry but it has to be done.

ive got a heap im making, will be ready to send out by the end of the week.

first 5 ppl to PM me with their intercooler piping setup and address, get my account details!!! yaaaay.

cheers

If you have any doubts as to whether it is legal - go onto the RTA website, and email their technical section, they got back to me quickly in regards to legality of turbo timers in NSW and i'm sure they will help you with this.

They are the ones that monitor the rules and regs of what the ADR's are for NSW so i'd suggest contacting them..

The police are there to enforce them.. and in some cases.. very ruthlessly..

are you sure its not defectable?!?!  It looks great!  wouldn't mind doing that with my car, if you're 100% sure its not defectable :)

Normally about Sydney Moanie they will have to be engineered to be legal. Our engineer has passed all the ones we have fitted to cars and once engineered they are 100% legal. The only thing our engineer has said is that you may be required to do a drive by noise test to ensure the box isnt to loud :confused: damned if i know why but no one has been asked for one as yet

Hey Linton i stuck mine in today and it looks great got to work out a way to get some air in there however no where to pipe anything with the stock cooler pipes =(

Many thanks for the box bro ... tell me when you come up with some other stuff !!!

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
