ramifications of new intake pipe

[nismoman18]

i see, im prolyl just gonna make mine out of plastic or sum flexible stuff!

[eryc]

cost him nothing , it think the steel was second hand peice . heaps of scratches , its all bent no welding except two nuts for the lid i think he made template

[skyla]

Looks good;) , think I gota do something about my engine bay.

Think I will go for a air box with a clear plastic lid, so I can still see the filter.

[nismoman18]

well what i was thinkin just have like a cold air partition stead of box, the bonnet can act as the cover unless u want it totally closed off so that ony outside air gets in sort of thing

[Nismodified]

heres my airbox that i made to shield my pod.

[nismoman18]

what did u make that from nismodified ? it looks sweet, very tidy

[Nismodified]

i made it from galvanised iron sheetmetal.

i had access to a gilotine and a bender so that made the job a hell of a lot easier.

making the template for it was probaly the most time consuming part for me.

found this info: http://www.users.bigpond.com/pgscott/reson.../resonator.html

i don't think i'm going to do it after reading that...might even put my standard airbox back on...

Awesome link, its nice to have someone backup results with an explanation as well.

Rules out an air pod for me, good old panel filter it is

Saved me a few $$ that did

that was a great read greg, cheers.

[Nismodified]

The article basically says the a NA engine is very sensitive to intake adjustments. It does not mean that the ideal system is used in all cars, and more power is still hidden with the intake system.

Interesting and worthwhile read

The HPI article on modifying the NA sr20 180sx changed the intake with a new one, with a different volume, it made a slight gain in higher RPM torque.

I will pursue with my metal pipe intake plans. As i believe, i metal intake pipe will be better then a plastic one. Especially with mods such as extractors.

well looks like im putting the airbox back on cos the car is goin up for sale, sorry to say ppls im leaving NA for turbo!

[Driver]
