just some pics i took, the last oone is a shitty pic.. but thats my ongoing project right now... sub box's in the bins with 2 10" pioneer premiers, JBL amp (600 RMS) in 2 custom sub boxes fitted with 40 degree slopes to bounce right off that hatch. sounds great! now all i need to do is some fiberglass moulding.. either that or vinyl it.. and ill be done!

 

why do you still have the snorkel part of the airbox still attached if you have the cone filter?

 

looks really clean dude.

looks like your blue connector on the rats nest is disconnected.

also the snorkle can be ditched, right? or does it still have purpose? i dont know.

all i know is that my air filter gets hot (i cut a big *** square hole in the air filter cover to let the car breathe better, but i think it is know injesting hot under-hood air)

im gonna make a CAI intake system this week i think.

depends if i got the do for some intake piping

 

in hopes of it catching some fresh air... lol

 

man thats a clane engine bay mines is nowere that clran. it has like 3 layers of dust and stuff but no oil

 

not to thread crap but

 

Hey guys, just so Im on the same page, whats a rats nest???

 

Emissions equipment

 

And that IS a nice engine bay. Looks much better without that big ugly square filter that mine has

And the dust. And grime. . . .

 

believe it or not the stock airbox had a ram air style of induction, the inlet is in a high pressure zone at the front of the car, leaving that snorkel on there feeds cool air onto the open element cone filter. a headlight ram air style would be better though.

 

No it doesn't. The stock duct needs to be attached to a sealed airbox to mave any meaningful effect. Otherwise the amount of air being "pushed" through it is tiny because there are so many other places the that air in your high-pressure zone can leak out. Air follows the path of least resistance remember. And since in this case the pod filter has nothing to seperate it from the rest of the engine bay, nearly all of the air it will be sucking in has entered from either under the car or through the radiator. The stock duct will basically be doing jack ****.

 

wow the EXACT opposite of what I was thinking! heh.. I thought it would help a little, but what your saying makes sense. interesting.

Nz, you can share the same user title as me

 

Thank god someone agrees with me. Everytime I say that in a thread I seem to get **** on!


Nice car man - reminds me of mine!
You're in BC? Come visit the Canadian section, there are lots of BC RX owners!

 

on my 89 t2 my snorkle is still on with the cone filter i have so i should just remove it because it isnt doing anything? heres a pic also your car looks very clean from the pics that you posted got any more

 

Yup, it does SFA without a sealed box.

 

Holly sh*t Psygnosis! Have you ever even started that car? It looks factory fresh! I could never even keep the OUTSIDE that clean!

 

 

drool......reminds me when mine was new..

 

man i guess i gotta start cleaning mine
lol
