Hi Guys,
My mates at Castle Hill Exhaust had my jeep today and have made a custom air intake.
I am going to be driving with it on my car for a week, at which time, if there are no issues it will be coming back off, and it will be used as a template, so more can be made.
The filter sits down the bottom of the engine bay, underneath the chassis rail, and obviously has a custom alloy pipe up to the TB.
Unlike the Bwoody, we have left the original washer bottle in, which means there are no mods needed to fit the air intake, However due to still running the stock washer bottle the largest tube we can get through is 3.5".
After doing 60km tonight, this is what I have found so far,
Whilst moving the IAT's are 6-7 degrees C hotter than ambient temperature.
Once stationary in traffic, the IAT does go up, however the minute you start moving again, it drops straight back to 6-7 above ambient.
Next note, the throttle is more responsive and the gearbox in normal mode is a lot smoother, probably because you are driving with less throttle percentage.
I will keep you all update, and let you know once we have them ready to go.
Expected price is likely to be between $350-400 dollars AUD.
Hope this might help a few of us here in AUS / SYD.
Have fun
Marc
