    Airbox for 24v swap (UPDATED!)

    My buddy and I got bored today so we decided to make an airbox for my car. At first we wanted to make one out of fiberglass but we really didnt want to get sticky and have to wait a while. So instead we bought some sheet metal and plexiglass from Home Depot. Got a couple ideas from searching the web and this is what it looks like so far.







    Yes I know, it looks very similar to Castros. But its going to look different when we're done with it.

      Looks good, I'm definitely interested in seeing the finished product. Seems like you should have had the MAF come in to the box at a higher point though, looked like it's sloped downward.

                Who cares, he is not the one who invented the design or was the first one to make it.
                Nothing wrong with a proper DIY =)

                I love the plexiglass top, very neat idea.

                    Looks good. Where did you get that extension tubing from MAF to filter?
