Here's one of the last things I have to fabricate for the rally car. I've got the back carbon fiber end piece attached to the aluminum bit now, and once that's all cured I'll be able to really figure out how I'm attaching the inlet from the airbox.

Yeah, I did. I have a page somewhere bookmarked breaking down the equations, which they got out of a motorcycle tuning book. I've also got another pdf somewhere that is a college dissertation on WRC airboxes (what are the odds, right?) for the Celica, it's like 100+ pages of info. That airbox is actually slightly smaller than I would have liked, due to size constraints :/ oh well. Maybe version 2.0 will be bigger 
EDIT: SKimmed that ppp. Interesting read. I'll have to compare it more to the two sources I used to see where they all differ, and what's the same when I have more time. Maybe I'm right on the money? ---------------------------------------------- The rules here are just for shits and giggles. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/09/2012 09:07AM by Dazed_Driver. |

When I built the cold air box for my friend's EG33-powered Impreza, I used stock WRX air box clips...he had them around and they were free. Kids toss the stock airboxes all the time.  Opel is a 4-letter word... http://www.flickr.com/photos/10498579@N07/sets/ |

I did. It was easier to go to world market and find a bowl of roughly the right size (diameter, nailed it, unfortunately, the inside of the bowl wasn't a perfect sphere like the outside (save of course for the little "foot"  was) to use as a mold for the end pieces, vs make a full mold.
Plus, I knew how the back end would be, but the front, due to the inlet, I'm not yet entirely sure where things are going yet. ---------------------------------------------- The rules here are just for shits and giggles. |

Curious...other than pick at your car building (or lack of ) we haven't talked in a long time.

Yeah, it was stupid.
Updates! 
So the filter lives in that round box, and while there is a hole in the center of the lid, I'm thinking about moving the elbow to the edge of the lid so the bend isn't sooo ridiculous. It's really tight and I'm trying to not have to get a new airbox. I'll get more pics up one I feel motivated to actually manually upload things vs using facebook. My phone decided it no longer wanted to take pictures today... So I can't just quickly upload them, haha. Steve, I checked out that part number, those look perfect for both the fuel cell and this! Thanks! ---------------------------------------------- The rules here are just for shits and giggles. |
