Custom airbox

Post by duffman502 »

I just thought id throw it out there Im making an airbox for my car to stop my filter sucking in hot air to improve performance its made out of laser cut stainless folded and the seams are then welded up. It should look the bollards when polished up or painted
it uses a k and n 57 i filter kit with all the fixtures and fittings needed to do the job and will completely replace the original airbox but is still totally reversable.

It will fit the 1.4 16v 85 hp engine in the 6r only as the tolerance is quite tight.

Appologies for the crude drawing but i dont have CAD software on my laptop at home but it gives a good idea of how it will look.

Its going to have two 60mm air inlets that will have to be routed to the grill or somewhere with clean air.

It holds more air than the oem box has a better supply of air and a better filter so its got to be worth a few horsepower so i cant guarantee any power gains but it makes sense to have a heat sheild

So I can knock up a few more if people are interested and if so how much are people willing to pay? Note the k and n kit costs about £70.

Also if people want some other airboxes made up for other cars i can make get them made up will just need some decent measurements and a rough design.

Ill have some pics up of it fitted soon enough as hopefullyit will be cut tomorrow and be folded + welded on saturday.

So any questions just post a reply on here and ill try and answer them .
