Is anyone intrested in a cold air box
 

So heres the deal I was wondering since im skilled in weldin and I had the idea to build a cold air box for my 86 base would anyone be interested in one for there car of course I know I need to make my box first let everyone have a look... the plans are right as of now are thin aluminum for material and it will be tig weld very nicely dont have much of any idea as for design just the box look... any suggestions

ill be interested......would u be willing to ship to vancouver, canada?

yea i might as well be intrested cuz it does sound intresting :p:

Yeah I will ship anywhere and would anyone be interested in anything else done with metal fab cause im in Tech school and have plenty of time for projects and all the tools and materials you could think of... I made some block off plates and a turbo exhuast exhuast flange last week... used the plasma cutter for the flange then ground out the rough edges came out damn nice... may be buildin a custom turbo exhaust manifold for friends race car soon... but next week I will start planning and buildingthe box and post pics and if anyone wants one I will probly sell them cheap

Well I think im going to go with a simialr design where cold air is rammed through a duct into the box will be getting to work on it monday

I want one too! I don't have the tools to make one myself, and premade ones cost too damn much...

I am interested. If they are resonably priced that is...

hey man i want one for sure, if it has the ram air induction. and also what part of ga are you in maybe we can get together on the best way to make theml, i am i jacksonvill florida so where ever in ga you are you are not that far away, but i do want one so pm me with the facts and info

by the way dude if you could hit me up asap that would be best, i am very anxious

thanks

Hell yeah i need a cold air box.
I have an 88 TII with way to much heat under the hood. Its funny cuz all the ppl that ive seen make these cold air boxes only make them for themselves!
Damn selfish ppl in here!! j/k:D
Well anyway you would have to make one of these first and post VERY detialed pics of the design and we'll let you know!
Goodluck

I am interested... I purchased a CorkSport intake, so I dont have much room. If you could work with that, I will buy one...

ALright damn I wasnt sure if to many ppl would want one but I can make one before thursday and make pix and the first one will be sold... it will have a duct for cold air and be made out of aluminum so it souldnt weigh much at all so im thinkin maybe 40 shipped... oh and im in Columbus GA... what do yall think about the price and all

Would the same cold air boxes work on S4's and S5's? Just a thought...

forgot all about that I do have a friend with a series S5 if there is any differences i will just have two different designs as of mounting areas so if anyone wants one just give info on the year of the car... either way I will make it work

In fact im getting the tape measure and writing down measurements for it in just a sec

Awesome.

I will be interested if you have the "ram air" and you could sell em on ebay too. I bet the S5 & S4 are the same. Other than the front bumper their body frame is basically the same. What a gold mine

Oh yeh the AFM is different. How about a foam seal?

.

id be intrested. if you need a webpage or anything made up for it let me know ill see what i can do.

hey suprfast, I'm in Athens, and I might be interested... when my car gets running :)

Well what does everyone think of the price of 40 shipped I think I may have to change the price for shipping in some cases... but I do think its fairly cheap and im not sure where I could get a ram air effect from without drilling a hole into the engine bay anyone have ideas

Great. From what I've seen in the past, ~40 is great.

sounds good..................pic's

a flex hose to run down into the duct behind the fog light... ?????

$40 would rock

yeah im going to look into a flex hose running to a spot where air can be rammed through it and into the box... would it be better to make the cone filter totally inclosed in a box and then the hose feedin cold air into it... its and idea

dude that would be great.
But you have to make sure to make one for a series 4 and series 5 rx7's cuz they are diffrent.

yeah dude you would want to have a cone filter inside the box, and then "ram" the air into that

oh yeah i almost forgot i have an 86 gxl

hope to hear from you soon, i really need one
thanks dude


john

yeah $40 or less and i'm interested

Well i did some planning and the first one will be a box sealed on top when the hood is closed the side of the box will have a 3 inch opening and flex hose or whatever I think I might leave that to whoever would want to buy one so they can route the flex hose or whatever to where ever they want... sounds confusing... the buyer will have to route and supply there own flex hose from home depot or whatever.....how does it sound

It will have to be cheap. I can make that one out of sheet metal ro something for close to nothing. I made something similar out of Fiberglass.

Beware. It is popup intensive Tripod. :(

$40 sounds awesome, although you might give the buyer the option of having the 3inch hole on the side or on the bottom.

that is a good point parasitl, i think the bottom would really work swell :)

sorry bout the typo parasite

Count me in..i need i for S4...bottom ram air.
PM asap. email:Vze4zxkc@verizon.net

ok well I guess a hole in the bottom I will do but as for the hose and routing thats up to you guys.. and im thinkin about using a certain area to mount the box so it dosent vibrate against anything...

i want one also

i'm in. e-mail me.

Alright guys im making a template today and hopefully tomorow I can start building the first one and possible be done with it
