Default my not so diy arc box

cardboard mock up.



16 gauge sheet metal. notice my beautiful welds



thermal coating (bbq paint)




i've noticed more mid to top end powa on my jrsc gsr

my previous setup was a modded intake arm to stock are box and comptech filter. i also had a dryer hose routed to the box.

Just get a grinder and grind them down. If your welder is a gassless welder you will have slag. Try to grind if you make a new one, then paint.

But never-the-less it looks good.

Foam filter with JRSC?

You should read Jackson Racing's warning against using foam filters...

It states that in the installation PDF instructions in the recommended upgrades section (last two pages). It mentions not to use any aftermarket foam filters and try to stick with the stock one or an oiled K&N. On the new JR website though, it seems like have removed the installation instructions page so I can no longer access the PDF files online.

Perhaps they are referring to non-oiled foam filters. If the filter you are using is preoiled or uses oil, then it should be okay.

here's an idea....

weld the inside then use seam sealer on the outside, then you won't be showing off the shitty welds you get with flux core. Not ragging on you, all I've got at home is a flux core mini-mig too

Just a suggestion to make it look better with the tools you have. Bend the sheet metal to make different facets instead of welding each facet to the rest of them. You could probably have gotten away with making 3 welds this way.

if you grinded those welds, it would've looked awesome. But still a great DIY
