    i cant see much point in running your air intake over to where the battery is.
    if you have a 4age 16v or 4agze (not sure about 20 valve), and you wanted to put in an airbox. I would probably go with moving the washer bottle and radiator overflow bottle and putting the airbox on the driver side, where they use to be.
    Will mean alot shorter piping as well which should help response to some degree.
    That was what i was going to do with mine, but in the end after talking to the mechanic about it, for the cost and time of doing it all it wasnt going to be that greater benefit.
    Though it would help with intake noise for the fuzz that try to pick you up on stupid things like that if you had the air box instead of just a pod filter

    Im running a cold air box which was made to fit behind the drivers side headlight.... fully inclosed (K&N pod) has a hole in the bottom that has induction hose feeding from the front bumper into the box...

    the box is just made from sheet metal bent into shape with a lid held in place by a few screws......

    was made quickly for blueslip... planning to make another one similar out of aluminium and more pretty....

    hahaha works well though
    when i had a nissan trx i used the standard air box and cut a whole in the bottom and threw the body then got some piping from bungings and routed it to the front bar and i swear after a 3 hour drive the air box would be cold
    and when reving it u could feel suction thought the ducting at the front bar
    went hard for what it was

    This is what cured my boredom this morning.
    I found an old sheet metal carry all/tool box I'd made back in year 8.
    I was thinking about cold air induction this morning and happened to stumble upon the old year 8 metal arts project.
    So I got to work, bending and manipulating it to sit over my filter, allthough I really need a longer intake pipe as it doesn't really sit over my filter apart from just on the end, it will probably just redirect air to it, my catch can also sits under there.



    I'll probably grab another big bit of sheet metal and remake it. As this one was just a mock up, which actually turned out not too bad to my suprise. Then cut a hole under it and maybe run some piping or just run some from the front bar.
