Hi all,
anyone have the measurement for arc super induction box:hmmmm:...might wanna build 1 for 4G93.

attached in sketch drawing of own version

please help give idea...filter goin to use K&N to replace ARC

material still thinking

 

[93na]

dude where u doing it
intrested do together cheaper?

 

[nitrous_o2]

its still in testing stage...due to my car still in spraying i dun have my car to measure the location of the filter box...all drawn out based on K&N dimension...still thinking what type of material suitable for the outer frame...or perhaps u can choose which design is better for 4G93 NA engine...
attached picture for ur suggestion
cheaper is better

hi there, i was also planning to do the same type of arc induction box during my sem break.. the type of material that i was planning to use was aluminium(haven't decided on wat size yet).

method of doing it:
1)first method:i was planning on making a template out of card board first with all the mounting holes indicated then cut the corresponding pieces out of aluminium sort of like a jig saw puzzle, take the pieces to a nearby exhaust shop that does intercooler piping and have them weld it together...

2)second method: using the same template, open it up till i get a single flat piece. transfer the template onto a sheet of aluminium and cut it out. i had two ways of putting it together:
a)first is the same as the above; have them weld up all the joints..
b)other way was to actually to have extended sides(circled in the example pic attached)-not sure what the proper term for it..:stupid: ... drill holes on those extended sides and to its corresponding sides to be attached with and rivet it... then take it to the exhaust shop to have the edges welded for proper seal...

then have a 3" hole cut out and an aluminium pipe of desired length welded on.. and mount it at desired position

bt my only question is in the design there seems to be only one hole, so i'll be assuming the hole is connected to the MAF sensor via a short length of flexi hose.. but where will the air be sucked in. i can see a square at the front so i'll be assuming that where the air comes in. just to share with you(hope you dont mind :hmmmm:) my design in mind was to DIY a custom headlight out of fiberglass with a projector lamp on the right side(drivers side headlight; towards the grill side for wira,putra,satri) and a CAI funnel next to it connected directly to the airbox.. the airbox will be placed where the battery was (moved mine to the trunk)...

this is just my 2 cents... hope u dont mind me sharing

Wooh sounds nice dude. I like

me like it too...
HKS power flow giving too much noise...

i think the 1st pic in nitrous post better..
but maybe can vote from few design i think..
heheheh..

guys where to buy arc super induction box?? im looking for it look nice bro ~ ehhe where can buy for evo 6 ?

heheheh..

yup... agreed :cheers:

i am looking at making an induction box too for my wira 4G93 coz the radiator fan is blowing hot air in the direction of my HKS powerflow. i did an aluminium think plate cover from right behind the battery to the suspension mounting area but is koyak now.

my 2 cents is u need to do a piping from bumper to the airbox for cold air intake (force cold air in during driving). problem with that is (especially with lowered cars) chances of water getting into the piping. so need to have the piping mouth to the airbox slightly pointing away from the air filter juz in case. can get a funnel/horn type of piping mouth installed at bumper including piping to engine bay from accessories like brothers. RM150 or below i think.

btw, i think aluminium is too thin and soft. maybe need to consider other options but must be budget!

there is also a theory i got of lining the inside or outside of box with reflective windscreen shades that u can get from tesco/giant for RM3.99

 

[nitrous_o2]

great idea...i'll break out the drawing and will build a prototype using acrylic by pasting all the break out portion...air funnel will have to use back original location 1st...

actually there's many sizes, types and thickness for aluminium sheets and it all depends on the manufacturing of it... from really soft to pretty hard. most hardware shops carry the soft type but you can order the thicker type of aluminium... i'm not to sure about the sizing whether the thickness is measured in mm or in other types of measurement (anybody care to advise on this, pls??)

so nitrous, u r entrusted to design the box. hahaha. needs 2 holes. one for the piping connecting to airflow sensor to throttle and one for air in piping from bumper. i guess the air ram can get from Brothers or any accessories as long as not more than RM150. can do ownself but the horn inlet at bumper looks super cool. another thing, the air in hole must not face directly to air filter (assuming using powerflow or pod filters like me). donwan to have water flying into the filter! lolz. have fun and do share ur design. and if we are all located in klang valley can all go get the design fabricated together and get cheaper price.

bro...i designed the air intake area on the bottom and the intake to airflow is on the upper section...to prevent water direct sucked to engine but dunno will this effect the smooth flow of the air flows to engine...
can pls help to attach picture of the air ram?:hmmmm:

thanks

 

[mydvdrom]

i seen the air ram on the bumpers of many cars before and i asked Brothers and they have them. last i remember was around RM120-150 plus installation. pls share ur design wif us 4G93 fellas.

here's wad i got from Brother's website

of coz we can do it ourselves but the ones in the pics sure look cool.

i m considering not going for airbox as i m using HKS powerflow now. maybe i will go for a professionally done heat shield like the one from Hotbits from Speedworks. go to speedworks website and go to performance kit and input proton wira 1.8 and they will show wad they have to mod it. i m considering using the heat shield and air ram from brothers. wadcha guys wif open pod think?
