air box for ke70 and the old 4age (loads of pics)

[pen15]

OK so here i am going to show you how to install a Holden vr commie air box into your ke70 cut and shut small port / cut and shut bigport i don't know if the jdm bigport manifold will work due to the throttle body facing down but i am unsure

1:find yourself a fucked up Holden vn-vs get ur air box out of it
2:cut inside of the box until it fits like in the pics demonstrated
3:make up a couple of brackets like illustrated in the pics
4:use the existing coupler to mark the hole needed to run intake to the wright spot
5:u will need to move ur charcoal canister down onto the cross member yes you can keep ur charcoal canister
6:make yourself a block of plate and bolt all the shiz in
7:u will need to get rid of ur washer bottle and overflow bottle i moved my overflow bottle in front of the rad support if u have money u might be able to use an ae86 jdm washer bottle but ill let u blokes sort that out

the end result is fairly stock looking also has a good power curve compared to not running a filter at all or a pod filter alternatively u can give me a pm so i can pass on a message to Adam at kurnell customs who hepled me do this airbox

Good work.

[TE27]

looks good bro. well done

[LittleRedSpirit]

Looks great. I bet it breathes well. Perhaps try to seal the cutout with rubber and draw your air via a feed from the front?

:wub:

m8 considering it but i have diff issues atm and it breaths very well and as i may have said power curve is so clean i love my 4age

cheers boys for the comments really appreciate it :)

[pen15]

ok i have installed the k&n panel filter and the car goes a little harder but i will need to open up my exhaust for more flow and cams and an ecu but the k&N filter really helped pickup and overall power is really good i would recommend this mod to any1 with an e7 and a 4age also cleaned up the old shitty rubbers got all new black 1ns looks so stock

[OMG866]

seen it in person ppl, really good cheap way to stay out of any trouble from the pigs

[pen15]

cheers nick when you get a rolla ill help you put 1 in

[wntdae86]

i think i am going to try this in my ae86

[pen15]

i still run this now days on the track and all, pod filters are just dumb and over rated

[Sam-Q]

looks really neat

oh unless their infront of your radiator....

or out the bonnet but yes very useless on a road cars just a cop magnet with a pod and asking for an epa inspection

[Sam-Q]

hahaha so true! I like my pod in just behind the bumper, right in the airflow and out of view still. But its really good to finally see someone making something look less modified and more legal in this forum, its quite a shock. Well keep up the good work.

[pen15]

more recent pics looks fairly clean

sam q nice to see you like it i have had many cops look under the hood and say "clean" so no defects or epa notice for me and this is in no way engineered and hasn't been for years with this motor lol

[Sam-Q]

the only thing missing is a fake 4ac stick on the front cover!

[pen15]

or 4kc in my case being that my car is/was a ke70 auto the worst kind

[lovemy86]

thats really cool, i like it! so simple and neat. just need to fix up the wiring and stuff on hanging around on the passenger side.

if you did that, it could look like a factory unit.

here is one sort of recent its all factory jap sprinter in the wiring department so if it looks messy its because its factory lol

[ae86]

dont see anything ?

[danny_ke70]

This looks really clean and is a great idea. With pod filters i used to have one on a previous car, only comment i ever heard from a cop was that it needed to be mounted to a fixed bracket. I had at least three look under my bonnet and not defect me for it. Are pod filters meant to be in a sealed box ? Been reading up on them so far all i have heard is they make more noise.

[datablend]

any chance of re-attaching original images if you've still got them - seem to have disappeared?

[pen15]

yeah ill post em up asap for you ill find em but atm i run throttles so i dont have this setup anymore but i might put it back in someday

[pen15]

first post updated pics are upside down and shit but you get the idea

[datablend]

thanks it looks good. I didn't realise you'd cut the bottom out to both fix it and make it sit a little lower. i just trial fit one and it seemed like it would foul the hood

lol whats with every airbox open/broken and EVERY filter missing from 20+ commodores at the self serve wrecker i just went to, damn bogans can't afford a NEW filter?
