20v airbox

[skiddz]

hey

thoughti would post this up cos a few people told me the only way to run a 20v in rwd was to have bare quads with uni filters, and it would be a waste of time using factory management cos id have to run an afm, and if i did go the factory it would cost so much to make a box type thing that it wouldnt be worth while

well to those people i say is $30 far to much to spend?

you will have to excuse the messyness of the welds its gasless mig, and im not the most skilled with the mig,

basically all i did was cut the end off, welded a plate over it, then got a peice of 3in tube from the exhaust place, stuck that on the end, drew a circle around it, cut that out with the dremel, angled the tube a bit and welded it up. 30 bucks for the mig wire, and 2 hours of my day off

definitly the way to go about it, as the budget keeps well within focus using the factory managment.. now all you need it to run a speed sensor input to the ecu so you can run the full potential of the stock ecu.. if not it will have a lower redline.. and it just doesn't go as hard http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/sad.gif

I should post a pic of mine.
Mine is the same just Neater welds http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif


You sure the bottom half is going to fit?

[Gilly]

yeah what Monk said

i did this when i went to put it all in the stock airbox hit the clutch master and some other shit. i went back and looked at the pic of the car i was copying and realised it was USDM so LHD

i lol'ed then was shitty

ended up with a custom box

'hammer time'

**dance**

[Cerby]

i know it sounds wierd but for some reason i just love problems that can be fixed with a hammer and enthusiasm!!!!

[Monk]

I dont .. i get carried away and baet the fuck outta the thign till its un usable. :S

[mattysshop]

LOL i was jokin

[skiddz]

yeah it does clear, cos i have a far better car http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wink.gif

i wasnt aware that the speed sensor lowered redline, according to phil bradshaw no ill effects occur, however i was looking into fitting one, and modifying the stock speedo and a bit of dicking arounf with the one from its original halfcut and see if i cant break shit

edit * speedo not tahco*

I got it with the car, the car isnt tuned for it, you can notice the difference in power slightly, so i dont thrash it with this setup on it, its purely for rego/engineering then ill put the socks back on.

wouldnt be do hard to make up, but modding the stock one looks way easier, hows your clearance against the clutch master?

[skiddz]

clearance isnt really an issue for me cos i have/am putting the 20v into my ta22, a whole different ball game, and much easier than you'd think, its also much better looking http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

[mattysshop]

thats exactly what i noticed.. had a 3" inlet, with K&N filter, tiged up an ally air box, with trumpets inside.. and i noticed a very significant gain with them off!

[skiddz]

it probably sounded faster http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif having an AFM isnt really a restriction and for what im doing i cannot really justify an aftermarket ecu it would be nice but there arent many that could replicate the torque curve of the factory i have been in a '92 with a 20v in it on factory management and it was alright

[mattysshop]

no it actually went down the qauter a half second quicker.. and that was with 3" inlet.. so it definitly was restrictive..

and not to mention mine made a majority of it's torque around 3K.. quite low!
