box air filters

[pen15]

I'm looking for peoples boxed up filters because I'm looking to do one for myself. i have had a look at the ford ba xr8 air filter and thay are a pod filter in a fully covered shroud but the size it to big. i have also been looking into a go kart filter its a little cylinder with a 2inch inlet whitch i could just run some pipe to and attatch to my throttle body but I'm looking for what you have done could you please post some pics to give me some idea on what sort of setup you have got and if its not to much hassle a cost

cheers mat

What car is it going into?
I used an RA65 airbox on my sprinter. Cost me bugger all, fit with minor mods (only had to rivet on one bracket) the air filter is as big as my head and it looks totally stock.
It also bolts straight up to the AFM on the 4AGE which is good, since air filter options are pretty limited on the AFM motors.

Can you share some pics of the ba pod filter/shroud?

[Sprinter86]

this may sound a tad ghetto, but i used a small plastic bucket from mitre 10, which fits exactly over a pod filter. so i drilled a 2" hole in the bottom, made a fitting with some pipe running to the front grill, and hay presto! a custom made cold air intake which looks factoryish when all painted black!!
=D

[pen15]

this is a pic of the ford ba box filter i think it only comes in the xr versions a have a friend who is the vice chairman in the ford car club Australia so he tells me when thay come up for sale thay are pretty cheap to also i liked the idea of the miter 10 bucket

[Sprinter86]

^^^^thats pretty interesting from factory, looks damn similar to the bucket setup, i'll chuck i pick up tonite.

I'm making a box to enclose my pod filter, at the moment out of fiber glass, ill post up some pics as i progress..

It isn't as cool as a boxed pod i suppose, but it's heaps less work:

Just move the canister and bung the commo filter box in. At least then you'll have access to dirt cheap filters and you can get 'em whenever you need 'em.

what is that airbox from?
i likey!

[tony_kim]

the one in the photo is RA65..

but the commodore one being talked about is from a VR model

[yoshimitsu9]

i hacked up a hyundai excel filter box, i dont recommend that at all. so i fucked it off for exposed pod filter.

im really liking the ra65 idea though, it looks standard as all hell

Yep, and the filter in it is freakin huge! I recon it'd have similar surface area to a pod (if not more).
The AFM bolts straight up to it too, that's what sold me on the idea.

I've also seen a commodore box mounted sideways, might make it fit without moving the charcoal canister?

Haha yeah i'm just waiting for the glue for the foam i've put on it to set. which will form the 'seal' between the airbox and the bonnet. If that makes sense , give me a couple of days...

[tom__86]

commodore air box are pretty easy to make fit and look better/stocker than anything else here( except stock jdm airbox)

[tony_kim]

tom__86... is this the vr/vs model u r talking about ?

thanks.

[tom__86]

yep, vn-vs will work.
i did it to mine with a couple of mods.
