Fibreglass Pod Enclosure With Cai

[mark_sudakov]

Thought i should show what im upto and perhaps give some more ideas on how to go about this.

Here's my attempt after being defected for pod without enclosure. Still abit left to do.

Here's some progress pics.

Pics of part of the lid, which will have perspex in the spaces left.

Fleece stretched to frame, and soaked in resin.

How it looks all together

CAI

No worries

Whats weird about it?

hmmm... well... interesting...

it considerably more complex then gts432's or my own, yet doing the same job... which begs the question.. why ?

would the end result be capable of taking a cai aswell? because I found the best thing for the heatsheild setup is to be combined with a CAI to actually notice a difference

and as long as its strong, looks good to the owner and performs correctly.. no harm done!

Yes this box im making will have cai from the front bar to the box. Box is completely sealed. Lid has holes left for perspex to be fitted.

Here's the pipe going into the box

Here's the pipe again

Some updates

Lid painted in Bayside Blue, well base coat of the colour anyway. Not going to put any pearls or anything,

just will put few coats of clear.

Ive went thru all this trouble using fibreglass because ive already had all the material needed as im making a subbox currently as well.

Heres the subbox. I hit it with some paint as well, but had a few mistakes, so have sanded a few places as u can see

Its not a heatsheild, its a sealed enclosure. Its also made out of fibreglass and mdf, so it will not be easy for the heat to get thru, whereas in an aluminium heatshield which will heat up because its metal. Hopefully mine works well.

Basically finished, just perspex left

so i added the perspex and put the lid on. I was hoping for more induction noise than what i have now with the sealed pod. You can barely hear the spooling. I guess it means i have successfully sealed the box. O well, i can always remove the lid when i feel like risking it

funny how diffrent states have different rules . when my son got defected for pod filter and fmic we rang up regancy park and they told us neither was a defectable item . we had to take it to the local police station they rang regancy and they took the defect off . all they was worried about was as long as the pod was secured it was fine they was not worried at all about it been enclosed .

btw nice job on your box and ya sub looks like it will turn out good as well

ye rules are different in each state.

Box has been done already, im moving on to the centre dash surround, which will fit 3 gauges, alpine h/u and safc2. When im finished with the surround, it will be unrecognizable.

Will also start with the amp mounting on the sides to finish off the boot
