I have been thinking of making one for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRP intake is the way to go, but if you do not fancy spending $650 you can make your own for a fraction of the price. This is one I knocked up and it works a treat.This looks similar to mine haha, but mine isn't painted. What type of paint did you use? Obviously one for high temps... And at the bottom of yours have you run rubber or something along the cut edge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im still running the std airbox and a panel filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of paint did you use? Obviously one for high temps... And at the bottom of yours have you run rubber or something along the cut edge?I just used normal Satin Black, $8 can from Bunnings and I gave the outside 2 good coats. No need for hit temp paint as it does not get very hot at all, all the heat is on the turbo/exhaust side. The rubber is just some U profile trim I got from Clark Rubber so that there the non metal on metal rubbing. The box does not move at it is fixed in two locations and very sturdy and solid.

datjas Member 22 Member For: 14y 6m 15d Posted 13/03/11 12:32 PM Share Posted 13/03/11 12:32 PM I got carried away made my own bracket to mount my battery to the other side after getting a second hand cooler kit and really didnt want to keep the crossover ect,if someone tutours me how to scan and upload ill share these templetes which started from a rough copy of the plazma man kit I believe,took me about 3 days off and on as its my every day car,bits each night trial fits than paint,I already had fitted the cooler kit and changed the pipe work to not use the crossover so had the pod on the pipe already.I made it all out of an old parking sign approx 1.5mm alloy. near copy of original plazmaman I just changed the way it follows the fuse box top painted with crease line done,hard to do on a table out of an old parking sign haha, mucking around trying to get the base right,very hard to bend up with just a small vice and a big shifter,used alloy L section to clamp in vice for some bits finished in the car,spent alot of time on the base piece profiling it over the pipe feading the turbo from the pod to the turbo in and out but the old sign cost me $10 and another $60 for the pod filter piece of three inch stainless pipe with a bend on it and the silicon joiner from pipe to the compressor housing.

Heaps louder, better fuel economy and a bit more power. Definately noticeable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barra Donating Members 467 Member For: 16y 2m 7d Gender: Male Location: Toowoomba Posted 16/04/11 08:34 PM Share Posted 16/04/11 08:34 PM www.originalpartsgroup.com.auThese guys are weeks away from releasing their version CAI for the FG range. Quite reasonably priced and testing has been performed. It'll be in alloy painted or polished. It will prob be on ebay in the next mth or so and is simular to the current BA version.I inquired too,in their testing, if there is any temp differences between the plastic and alloy, and they confirmed less than 1 Deg. They will only make alloy as the tooling has been completed and needed to order 200 units at a time. Plus the plastic was pretty much the same price, so they went with the alloy.Unfortunately it'll be on the standard location side. The guy did tell me if there is enough interest for the turbo side he may concider the outlay for production. Please hound him if anyone is interested in one, and could possibly be a Group Buy?

Good work. Modern day hot rodding, bahahaa, no one seems to want to make things any more... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
