My new airbox
Ok finally got around to re-doing this one. Here are some pics of my new airbox that was made for around $30 or less. Cant take credit for it though, my dad made it, but enjoy the pics.

Ya I took some pics of my hole, but the pic turned out way fuzzy. Look at my avatar, I have a hole behind the FTP lense hole. You can literally see the filter from the FTP hole, so its getting cold air too.

Looks better in person, I want one now! Hook it up on a free one huh?
BTW- A general rule of thumb on n/a motors is 1% hp for every 10*F. For turbos it should be more because the difference gets "boosted" and amplified.

Looks nicer than mine but it would be a good idea to flip your AFM 90 degrees so that the ecu recieves correct numbers

I dont really know, but im guessing that a "hanging" flapperdoor would need more vaccum to be pulled open than a horizontally one. I had mine like that for awhile but was told that it would give wrong numbers to the ECU so I changed the setup, because im a bit paranoid when it comes to my engine, I didnt feel any difference either, im just playing it safe

Nice airbox man. very well made, similar one i've got done.
On the subject of the AFM being mounted, I've had mine mounted similar to Bdoty's and on several occasions noticed a slight hesitation in revrange -4500-5000- rpms. I than remounted the AFM with "black box" facing upwards and the hesitation quickly vanished.

"I've not seen it since" the hesitation that is.

I know this is an old post, but...
Hold the AFM level (like stock) and shake it up and down like the car was going over bumps. Nothing happens. Not turn it sideways and repeat. The flap moves up and down a bit. An AFM that changes it's reading as the car moves on it's suspension is not a good idea...
