OK for all those who want a cold air box similar to Mariah's but doesn't want to spend $120 bucks for it. I have a guy in a fab shop who can fab up a similar one for around $70. If we order around 10 at a time. He is now making the first one so, I will post up photos of it when it's completed.

It will be made of Aluminum about 1/8" thick. We are not sure if we are going to include some kind of foam around the top or leave it up to you to seal it up the way you would like, but it will be pretty much a bolt on and maybe add the seal and ready to go piece. Our first one will be for an 86 style MAS it will inclose the MAS unlike Mariah's.

So post away if any are interested.

 

Ill throw up the first $70 for one. I have a n/a 91. Keep me posted!!

I'd be intersted in one for Series 5 engines. I guess the differences would be minor though.

 

I am working with some one with the later style MAS to make a template for that model as soon as I get the template the 10 orders at a time can include a mix of both templates.

Also I am interested in this, the first one has a spot cut out for the intake snorkel, are most of you still using that or not?

Post up if you are or are not

Thanks

 

Im interested in seeing what it looks like. If it looks good i'll take one. Im also using the snorkel.

 

Yeah, Im with these guys, Ill be interested but lemmy see it first

 

I would be interested as well but want pics first.

 

Sure I understand you want to see picks. The Fab guy should have one done this weekend. I will post them up as soon as I have one.

 

I am interested.

 

I am interested as well. By the way I am right now also using the factory snorkle. Let me know detials. I am prob in.

billy

I want one but it has to be sealed!!! If this is what I think it will be It will complete my RamAir (looks factory).

SHOW ME THE PROTOTYPE!!!!

TJ

 

will send you the Cash asap!!!!! yes to the snorkel

 

I'm looking for a S5 CAB, can't wait to see the results!

 

My 91 n/a told me it has to have one. Count me in and send the details of where payment need to go.

 

Just wanted to post an update. Im still waitng on the guy to get me the piece. As usual with stuff like this we are all waiting. As soon as I get it I wil post it up.

 

I'm in

 

i am just curious. why does everyone want an aluminum cold air box. ALUMINUM TRANSFERS HEAT. unless you put insulation on the outsied you are wasting your time

 

damn , didnt mean to post yet.

yeah you will do a little insulating just by reducing airflow, but while you are at it you should at least wrap the outside with a little automotive insulation.

You're not wasting your time, it works quite well. I had a light gauge aluminium shield between the fliter and the engine bay on my last car and it worked really well. Sure ali transfers heat but the amount we're talking about is negligible. Mine had an outside air feed and always kept temp at the filter within a degree or two of abmient.
And I wish everyone would stop glorifying that overpriced thing from Mariah by calling it a cold air box. It's a heat shield, that's all. No outside air feed.

 

but dont you think it is worthwhile to put insulation on the outside. that way it allows the aluminum surface to drop temperature, if the aluminum is cold it allows the air inside to reach a colder temp as well.

it just seems like an easy thing to do while you are at it

Justin

 

Am I clear on the design of this box??? I wan it to be fed from the horizontal stock air path.

Feedback needed.

 

I've got the fresh air headlight. Wil it be made to fit that?
