My Arc Induction Box Install On My 180, And What Needed To Be Did! (custom Piping)

[bLaQ.bOi]

Ok so this last week i bought myself an arc induction box, you could definatly question the price of these things and if its worth it, but ive always wanted one and its legal

heres a crap pic of the engine bay before hand... typical china coolerpiping

So when i tried to fit the arc box in, my cooler piping was in the way...

obviously this was a problem!

so me and some friends decided to make custom piping, were metal fabricatos by trade s we thought we'd give it a go!

First step was to take off the cooler piping, install the arc box and then build from there...

Some 90 degree bends and a bit of straight

we forgot about the bov, so an old used t piece was required to be modified!!!

Some of us got tired lol

heres a few of the end result...

i wish i had pics of the bay before hand, its not finished yet, im yet to take it back to work and polish of the welds..

unfortunatly we did this at my house, we didnt have an ac.dc welder on hand so we just made the piping out of 304 stainless

it was my first shot at making custmo anything really, pretty happy with he end result, apart from having to use and old t piece that had already had random welds on it!!

if anyone decides they want to shove in an arc box in thier car n need help with the piping, me and my friend are more than happy to help!

Nice work.

But Every install I've seen has the filter element facing upwards, even the sr20 versions is there a reason it's on it's side? Or you did that to get more air into it? Notice any difference? www.performance-wise.com have copy versions at half the price...

[bLaQ.bOi]

well i figured that was the way it went... never really understood why it faced upwards...

i figure that when i finally get around to making the cold air intake pipe that goes right to the filter it'd be better?

I dunno as well just how I've seen them on rb's and sr's but since your able to get a cold air pipe it would work better, notice a difference?

I honestly dont see the point especially considering the costs IF its not enclosed ..might as well put a $100 apexi pod in there if it's just gonna be sucking in hot engine bay air. Is this at BelGarage by any chance??

[bLaQ.bOi]

well thats the first part, the next is to make a direct air feed to the filter. but until then ye your correct... its sucking in hot air like a pod would...

bell garage?
