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.

p.s. anybody have welding tips to get a good bead. i have a lincoln weld pak 100. what type of pattern should i do to lay a nice bead, zig zag, semi circles?

 

nice build

 

yes, nice

 

Turned out very nice!

 

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.

 

How's that thing sound? I bet it changed the intake note quite a bit. Nice Job!!

 

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

 

Hahaha, AWESOME job man. Looks really good

 

looks good, lets see it in the car

 

Nice set up I like the air horn


Heres some Picture of my setup Made out of .0625 alum sheet and 1/4"x1/4" alum angle. there is a AEM filter in side the box , The box get air fed around the head light and from a scoop in the bumper. Ran it at gingerman and the box stayed ice cold the whole time



I know the bays dirty its a midwest daily driven car what ya expect

 

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
