I been looking at cold air intakes but most of them are expensive and are not true cold air cause they are still sucking hot air off the manifold. i was wondering if could make a attachment on the front of my stock air box and run it some where for fresh cold air, any one who has done this or anyone with ideas?

 

i vote snorkel!

 

thats the thing i got no money but i got lots of pvc

 

does any one know any way to get nice cold air with out putting in a snorkel or anything like that?

 

Hm.. You could do this with plumbing...
1. Use a hole saw to cut a hole in the top of the airbox.
2. Attach a pvc flange to said hole.
3. Glue a 10" piece of pvc pipe vertically to flange.
4. Drop hood.
5. Use hole saw (once) to cut out the metal where the dent was made.
6. Glue 90 degree elbow to vertical pipe, facing front for "force feed".
7. Paint with chrome hobby paint.
8. Purchase broom for swatting away hordes of beautiful impressed women.

 

Just did a quick curiosity run. Ambient temp 48F, intake air temp 69F at steady 60 mph, according to the ScanGauge. I presume the hewdiwhapus circled is the IAT sensor so 69F air temp inside the metal intake runner doesn't seem too bad. Obviously the numbers will vary greatly with the changes in ambient temps, vehicle speed, stop-n-go driving, etc., etc. IMHO, the factory CAI seems to do a fairly good job.

 

Oh i like the sound of that especially the women but do you have any pics of what this might end up looking like?

 

Well....you do it to yours, I'll do it to mine!

 

This took a surprisingly long time to edit. But that's the best I can come up with. That's actually my car too, when I was going to sell it. The camera says '05, but it was actually summer '09.

 

oh...i see i am the test dummie its a good idea but i looking for something a bit more clean looking, maybe just a big filter on the throtle body and a hood scoop

 

Well, since you're all of 30 minutes away from me hit me up whenever you need an extra hand to work on your Jeep...or need air tools/angle grinder

 

Btw, I can be a bit sarcastic at times, so I hope it's understood that I wasn't honestly suggesting the pipe for a cold air mod

I'm more of the sleeper type. I prefer any and all mods to be 100% functional before showing, if possible. Lifts and tires are the obvious exception to this of course

 

ha its funny you offer zack cause i might need help with a lift kit in a few months

 

haha I was hoping so I was kinda thinking like a air ram but thats just asking to get hydro locked.
