black box

[minijrocks]

Hi, ive been searching and reading a few posts about pod filters and where to get air from without moving the battery.
People mention a black box or cover or something which you can cut a hole in to feed air up to the airbox/filter. is this black box thing just plastic and it joins with the wheel guard/arch plastic thing? and it goes to the very front left of the car? if i remove/cut away at it will i be able to run a pipe/air duct from this upto the filter? thanks in advance. (pics welcome )
sorry im so confused...

That would work nicely on an AE101. Just don't drive through deep puddles

Yep same idea worked quite well on mine, and is now for sale if your interested minijrocks. Its stainless too so looks pretty

i dont understand where this hole is. had a quick look and couldn't see anything. i have my battery and then the factory intake pipes (black and kinda square shaped) which go to the front. i cut this up and ive not got the tinfoil hose things ( air ducking for houses) going from the front kit to this pipe , ill have to see if this makes a diff.
send some pics of it to minijrocks@hotmail.com anyway. ill have to remove my batt and factory box n sht to see where this hole is

is a fat pod filter going to make more performance than this or will it be unnoticeable if i get a nice new K and N element

ok, ill say it again.

FILTERS ARE NOT VERY RESTRICTIVE AT ALL.

poddies dont increase power, reducing restriction does!. oftern people think *put a poddie on* increases power, SO VERY UNTRUE.

A) sounds cool... must make it faster!
B) no more airbox, no restriction!
C) cold air! more dense air = more power.

put a poddie in the wrong place = hot air = less power than before!

a panel filter (factory) will be fine, simply modify the existing airbox... and plumb in a *cold air duct*, you will increase low down torque (longer intake trapt), and keep cold air!

note - i put a poddie on the rona coz... its the rona, and i want noise

thats what i have done. put in a k&N replacement and got cold air duct, but the cold air duct is a 50/50 call weather it has increased air flow or not. just getting ideas for more air. no need to get ur nickers in a twist, im not stupid about the cold vs hot air thing

Check with a vac guage. more restriction = more vac.

you want as close to full throttle (the throttle plate being the only restriction) at all times.

Yeah you wont see the hole until you take the battery out and then remove all parts of the intake system (except airbox of course, although youll temporarily need to take the airbox out), which is all the black plastic 'resonators' and crap out. The resonator (or black box) is in the front left bumper basically straight in front of the LF wheel. You get to it you'll need to either unbolt or bend back the plastic guard liner. But once you take the battery etc out its pretty plain to see where it is.
