Ya - more like $1500 Canadian dollars! Then what if it's too bulky to fit under my Buggy body? |

I really like that CSP setup.BUT I think that's a little unreasonable. IT does give me ideas for using turbo covers.Then plumb them into an airbox from a vehicle in the salvage yard or a reasonably priced airbox online...Sean.. |

if you want to get creative, and like DIY projects, mine started with a chunk of pink styrofoam, a flat air filter for a buick 6 cylinder, and a plastic basket from the dollar store. Add a pile of hours pondering, figuring, sanding and fiberglassing.

the original i built was a little more crude, but used 2.5" oval exhaust tubing and the bottom of a T3 air cleaner. It didn't flow as free as I wanted. So i opted for the fiberglass route. The nice thing about the pink foam is it dissolves with acetone so you build a buck and wrap it with glass and melt the buck out.

What kind of resin are you using? Epoxy or polyester? My experience with polyester is that it melts foam. |
