Nice job Clint.

so really its just pretty much getting a cone, shortening the tube and building what ever box you want around it to keep put the hot air from the engine out? cuse i do wanna build my own, to make it custom to my car.

Tried acouple ones on my other GP's. Found that I like the Thrasher the best. And with the 9" cone, it works great.

now this is kind of a dumb question.. can you get the tubing fromt he tb to the cone anywhere ? and how bout the 9" cone can you get that at a local auto store ? how did you mount the box to the car ? and last one, did you only have to cut a hole for the sensor or is there more holes i have to cut ?

There are no dumb questions, just dumb answers. :silly:

Had to do it.

You buy the tubing pre-made from vendors, like pfyc.com. Another option you have is going to your local hardware store and getting some pvc and cutting it to length. Yes, you will have to drill a hole for the sensor. The pre-made ones are already cut out.

Hope that helps.

is that what i need to get started building my box ? sorry for so many questions im 18 and just starting to get in to car modding and such. and what other accessories will i need ? or just follow what the site says ? and then buy the right amount a plexi ?

You dont need that exactly. The products in the kit from pyfc can be bought at a local hardwar/plumping/lumber store for 1/4 the price. Thats a good start.-( Check out hercs link for the exact parts)- Follow their posted directions for the plexi, im not sure what size is needed since i used a roll of aluminum and rivets to costruct mine. Pretty much you design the rest. Cardboard as the others suggested, is the best way to make a mock up and used to trace everything onto plex,metal, or whatever suites your need.

What other ones did you try?

From looking at the sites, it APPEARS that Wizaird has the best performance.

For my IAT sensor I drilled a hole just a tad smaller then the sensor in the rubber boot and pushed the sensor in. Holds great and seals better then the OE.

thanks everyone, i appreciate all the help, im gonna try to do it this week end, if i have time and if i get it done, i'll post some pics to see how i made out. and one quick question..... did crimpton use tinted plexi ? or did he do that him self ?

I say tinted but you can let him answer or PM him.

two more questions, i think you answered it already but what thickness of plexi did everyone use ? and is there somewhere i can get a diagram of the left front wheel well ? i have an idea and wanna c if it can b done

Hello,

To answer a few of your questions.....

I used 1/4" plexiglass.
The top is smoked...I bought it that way.
The only other passage you need to worry about is your PCM harness if you plan on housing the computer inside the box, as I did.
I did not mount the box to anything...It's basically floating, and has been with no problems for about 4 years.
The pipe is ABS with a rubber coupling from the Home Depot.
The IAT has an extension on it, and is zip tied to the fender bracket in front of the filter.
I used 1/2" sheet metal screws with brass cabinet brackets to join the pieces. I've seen a cleaner way of doing it by doubling up the Plexi where the mounting screws need to hold, also having to use longer screws. No brackets needed.
Be sure to predrill any holes, and test your predrills on a piece of scrap. Make sure your screws aren't going to split the plexi.
I used a rotozip for the curved cuts, and a skillsaw for straight cuts. Watch your eyes....Plexi likes to fly while being cut. And it hurts sometimes...I'd hate to end up with a piece in the eye.
If you can find a shop that specializes in plastics, you may be able to get the plexi for cheap....I paid $1 a pound for mine.

Anymore questions, feel free to ask.

Later now,
Clint

OK THANKS FOR THE HELP EVERYONE. I HAVE AN IDEA OF COMBINING A FWI AND A CAI. I'LL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT WORKS AND I'LL POST PICS OF DURING THE BUILD AND AFTER IM DONE WHEN ITS IN MY CAR.

on the topic....
im wondering what the technical reason is for my wizaired being extremely loud when i just start my car and its idling. then when i drive it down the street it all of a sudden gets quiet at a certain point, then quiets down to almost nothing even when i idle again...
