ok, heres what I've got so far..
heres the stock setup..
new intake tract setup I chose to use to make room near the manifold..
I used the tubing from a K&N Intake setup..
It wasn't intended to use the factory airbox..
heat gun, dremel, ect..
This is a deck plate lid.. they use these on boats..
It has a water tight screw in cap that I've left open..
for now it sucks in under hood air with a grill block..
I shoved a rag in the opposite side of the airbox where the cold air came from through the fender..
I'd love to figure out a setup so I can switch back to cold
air (on the fly) so i don't detionate if I need to get on it..
I'm still workin on this, not completly finished yet..
What I'd like to see are peoples results in tempuature and what
the outside tempuature was at the time your intakes temp was measured...
heres pictures of how I installed the deck plate..
I also cut some of the stock intake on the cold side to make a little more room
skuffed it up.
washed it out.
epoxy
screwed/glued
inside view with cover in..
finished setup..
so that little 3" tube was clogged up with a rag as you've
already seen to put it in perspective in the engine compartment
