How do I make an ice box configuration with stock intake box and drop in K&N filter(E 2427)

 

why dont you just save up for a Comptech Ice box????

 

Because college kids like me want a lil performance, and cant afford the comptech

 

You could prob search for "DIY Intake" or something like that and find it. I'll look around and try to find it for you. I know I saw the instructions on a website, just have to remember which one.

 

Break open the resonator box and take the black "U" shaped tube out. I cut the tube in the bend at the bottom of the "U". You can then angle it like the comptech tube with hose clamps and a piece of rubber hose like what comes with aftermarket intakes.
Use the $500 toward a nitrous kit.

 

Here is the link to my webpage which shows how to make your own DIY "Icebox": http://www.geocities.com/bretq/DIY_Icebox_CAI.html

Let me know if you have any questions.

 

Sweet, somebody found it before me.

 

have you left your front turn signal out completely, or did you put it back in?

 

Right. And someone who is asking how to modify a stock intake tube is going to know how to properly install and use a nitrous kit w/out blowing up their car?

I'm using something very much like that. Though I started with the AEM CAI. I ran a flexible tube(4" dryer hose) from the inlet in my ww air dam to the bottom of the stock airbox. Because of the angle the airbox sits at I can only use 2 of the 3 mounting bolts for it, but the setup works fabulously and yesterday it rained all day. I drove right through a 6" deep mini lake that my lowered teg w/ AEM CAI would've had a fit with.

 

I am using BSQ's DIY icetake with a short ram intake, it is great! Very light, and fits well with the stock airbox Get that!!!

As for using the K&N filter, don't bother. It's going to cost you around $70 to get the filter. You might as will go on ebay and buy a K&N Typhoon for your car ($135), the filter of the intake will rest right where the airbox is, with some homedepot material you can seal it in the stock airbox. Then take out the resenator and put in the icetake from BSQ, you got yourself a Comptech icebox clone! Good luck!

I'll post some pictures of my intake when I get hold of a digital camera.

 

the diy intake will loose power

there are dynos floating around with the stock vs bsq vs comptech

comptech had more mid and top power than stock box

the diy intake made less hp through the whole range on an itr

 

Ya, of an ITR. Because air is pulled from the wheel well in an ITR. In a gs/ls/rs and gsr, the air is pulled from a hot engine bay.
