Cold air feed from below the indicator thought a 50mm dia and 100mm long intake tube fed into a 50mm cut hole in the front of the resonator box in the inner wing with the original intake blocked of (as it didn't seem to take much air from behind the front side lights anyway) I could of used one piece of intake tubing from inlet to the top of inner wing, but wanted to keep the resonator box for any rain water that may find its way in the front inlet and safely drain away thought the extra drain holes I put in.



Also incorporates the intercooler water spray tank which will keep that cooler too







Hopefully this will keep my intake temps down allot and help with DET problems.

 

Looks good mate. Nice job, very tidy.

 

Well done, looks very tidy

 

Nice

 

very nice


i done the same thing but with the standard air box when i fitted a SYMS air filter,
and got rid of the resonator box, and just put a couple of hole's in the pipe low down to get rid of any rain water that may find it's way in to there.

 

*Very* nice job you've done there.

I have to do a similar mod soon although with a MY98/K&N. I was wondering why you've covered the top of the 'box' rather than sealing it to the underside of the bonnet? My thinking was doing this would allow air to be drawn in through the vent (or forced in with a mini-scoop).

EDIT

I also thought about bolting the shield/box to the MAF but was reconsidering doing this as i thought the rocking of the engine may cause the inlet assembly to work it's way loose/find a weak spot if bolted to a solid structure. There doesn't appear to be as much flexibility with the pipe i've been supplied with for my K&N as there was with the OE one.

 

erm... wtf is a resonator box? mines 93 wrx do i have one? i got one of them mini scoops for cool air but i like what Nick_o_Teen has done.

 

HI folks cheers for the feedback.
Carl the problem with sealing it to the bonnet is getting the right shape for the underside of the hood for a nice fit, bit of a tricky one, also thought about a mini scoop but due to the constant rain up here I didn't bother as half the air filter is directly under the scoop vent, and being a HKS sponge type I might of had problems with rain soaking the filter, think I will stick with the forced air feed from the front bumper for now. There is also plenty of flex in my induction pipes to allow me to bolt it to the maf so hopefully no forseeable probs.

Hi axgt bwaii, the resonator box is under the front wing behind the plastic wheel arch cover, something to do with keeping induction noise levels down I think, but doesn't do a very good job of drawing cold air in.

 

very nice.. wish my engine bay was that clean..
