I was never happy with the way the ATI just stuck an air filter on the back of the procharger sucking in all the hot air from over the exhaust.

so I finally did something about it.

I made a cold air box and reused the original cone filter that came with the supercharger.

Since I have a Formula I have the cowel area in the hood just had to add a mid 80's TA grill in the opening.

I then welded up a mandrel bent tube to put the air cleaner up above the valve covers under the cowel area.



Then I mocked up a box to surround the filter



I then welded up a sheet metal version and covered the outside with cool it thermo shelding.



I still have to add a gasket around the top (on order) to seal completely with the hood.



I am still thinking about what type on insulation I can place on the inside to further keep the heat out.

So far I notice a drop in intake temps while crusing that I did not see before.

 

the looks really good. nice job now u have cowl induction! nice job!

That looks awesome. I love the procharger. My buddy has a D3 for sale....I wish I had the cash to buy it....

 

VERY NICE WORK!

 

very nice install, looks like it came that way

 

Very nice. I have a similar setup I made. It covers the complete width of the hood cowl over the plenum. I used some G-10 (plastic covered fiberglass) I got from work. I looks ok, but I would like to get one made out of aluminum.

I will post some pics when I finaly have the car put together.

 

Thats sweet good idea and work man

 

If anybody doesn't have cowl and still wants to relocate the filter, check mine out.

Wow... not only is that motor beautiful, it looks like you could eat off it! And your craftsmanship is A+ work!

Do you have a thread on all your mods or track times? I'd love to hear more about it!

 

No Track times, never been to track.
