My custom cold air intake for std airbox

[AlexCim]

This design was sorta taken from sydney kid, but i made mine without the deflector plate.

Its pretty easy to design, i just used a bit of paper and then cut it from gal steel.

I had no Al, so i just used what i had. I bend the sides over and riveted them on... its pretty bloody study.

I am holding the whole thing in place with bolt, rather then the standard thing. Its bloody hard to put those bolts in because its hard to get UNDER them. Thats why one is up and one is down...

All up took about 2 hours from design, cutting, fitting etc. I used about 10 cutting things with the dremel, i really wish i had a band saw!

On another note, i dont know if there is any difference. it does seem to be a little smoother, but i mean, nothing off its head with power. Probably no power gain, but good mod for cruising etc.

I am going to cut into my bonnet where those three "channels" are and make it into one huge open channel. I think ill see a big improvement then specially with my high flow panel filter...

Well, i said i would and i did. I dont think it affects the bonnet at all structurally.

I covered it with some aluminium so water and stuff wouldnt go in. A mod like this will mean cleaning the air filter a lot more, BUT, i think i will get the coldest possible intake temperatures and positive pressure in the airbox at almost any speed.

I just bought aluminium sheeting from bunnings and basically pushed it into place, folded the sides and then rivited them on. I do want to make it look a tiny bit less home job, but for now, i guess it will do.

I am tempted to put sometype of mesh behind the grill to make it not tke in leaves and stuff, but i dont really think it matter
