Just wondering where other poeple have thier air filter or whatever you are using to get some cooler temps

 

well since your turbo is hooked right to the manifold and sits infront behind hte rad.just stick it there! the wind blowing in will hit it. thats wut i got anyways..im not running an intercooler, just filter on the turbo.

 

Im not runnin a Filter, my car see the track more then the road but you can use screen from a porch or something with a clamp if you have fitment problems

Thats what it currently is, but i have a feeling that since my turbo inlet is sitting right behind my rad, its killing my Intake air temps. So i wnated to route an intake somewhere, just seeign if anyone had a way they did it

 

Having a filter at the turbo and not having a filter is not gonna make a difference on air intake temp, If you have relocated your battery I would say that would be the best spot have your local performance shop make you up a pipe with a S bend, or get some old intakes and hack away!!!!!

 

well i wanted to keep my battery up front still, so i don't have to run a cut off switch and stuff, since i am going to be running at the track

 

I run at the track every weekend and I dont have a cutoff, mines in the back

 

well then i guess your track doens't care, every track has different rules, and my local tracks say i need a cut off

 

????? well you got to give up one or the other filter,battery?

 

Not nessecerally. I just ordered an NRG-cell battery, small as hell, tryin to mount it against the frame rail, and put the filter on top, i was just poking around to maybe see what other people did

 

Yah i saw those there neat, but i like the idea of goin to Honda and gettin a new battery for free if i have a problem and not ordering one and waiting, here in Florida are batt's go bad alot B/C of the heat and humidity

 

For free? i never knew about this, whats the deal on it?

 

Honda has a 3 year free replacement on ther Batt's. They are usually really goo about replacing it when it goes bad I go thru one about every 16 months or so

 

mine is here, along with wire tuck : P

 

wheres your battery, in the back i guess? Thats what i want to do to mine but mount my battery under where your filter is siting

Haha i was gonna say, wtf is that.... What is up with the color, your whole motor is painted?
BTW do u think a tiny battery could fit on that frame rail?

haha no the block and valve cover are painted blue, the head is glass beaded. you cant fit a small battery in the frame rail. plus even if you could, it would probably ground itself. when i had just the b16 in there, i hid the battery in the front bumper where the stock resonator box goes. just use your stock battery tray, a few pieces of metal, and its hidden away. i wish itook a pic of it but i didnt.

the frame rail is way small, and it actually has less than half an inch of room in it at one point. people think that wire tuck goes into the frame rail, but it doesnt, it just hides under the frame rail.

i would put the battery in the back if i were you. it will save you future headaches. but this post is about air filters haha, and mine is behind the radiator, so the hot air can blow right into it!

 

i don't think you understand me. I want to mount a battery where your msd box is basically, and run a filter over it, and possilbly have a block off plate form the rest of the engine and the filter

 

Like this:



this is NOT my car, just a photo I found a long time ago on HT and saved.

 

hell yea, thats what i am talking about!
That gives me hope, cuase the battery i am getting is shorter then that one. Thanks for the pic

 

Yes you can mount it on the frame rail. Mine is mounted there. Our track is the same with the battery rules so I put mine back up front. I will get pics when I get home.

 

Damn, any smaller (battery) and your better off with a 9 volt.

ahh sorry, i read "in" the frame rail, not "on" so yes, that works great, looks good too.

 

maybe it will all fit this time
