G'day all!
I've been planning this mod for a few months now. But I never really got it off the ground until last week when i made the fibre glass mould. Unfortuantley today whilst working out how to mount it my old man drove in the adjacent driveway and crushed my fibre glass mould!!! (sorry i'm addicted to those icons).
Anyway it is back to the drawing board so before I do anything I would like your input.
The plan is to use the lower right fog light mount as an air scoop. running piping up and directly to the airbox.
The only main issue is the large liquid and particle debris. I have found a solution to this which i will talk about later on.
The mod:
The plan is to insert a fibre glass mould into the circled area. I believe this is for the fog lights (actually i know this I just do not think i'm using the right terminology.). From there I will use 6.5cm diameter flexible hosing (from a local hardware store) that will connect to the fibre glass mould that will travel up infront of the coolant tank (see image below area circled as pink)
once it is out of that hole it will go directly into the air box connector. The image below shows a pink circle; where the pipe goes up from. And it will show an area circled in green; where the pipe will be going down.
The main focus in this entire project is the mould. Being able to tech draw my original diagram was done by hand which I was planning on putting onto cad but never really was bothered about it. Instead I have a grade A mspaint job of what it basically does.
The image shows the blue lines as the air flow into the flexible piping. The small "tit" to the right is intended to act as an filter for larger, heavier particles. There is an small hole at the back of the "tit" which is about 1/2 inch in diamater. Hopefully any large amounts of water/dust/rock/rubbish will be forced into this area and blown out reducing the amount of rubbish my air filter will have to deal with. in the event that any debris would go into the tube it would be a 2ft (i think thats about right) straight up ascent before it would billow over and into the air box.
Thats the end of my description. What are your thoughts?
Also, is there a better substitution for fibre glass? I tried manipulating soft plastic but it is not very malleable. And i do not realy want to make one out of metal because any oxidation will go straight to the engine.
Bonsai-out!
