Don't do it unless u make a good heat shield or get the intake out of the engine bay. Gets way to hot in there to make it worth it

 

Anyone know where to get just the outside piece of the snorkel? I could make that work into something. I just don't want to spend the full price

 

I moved the filter over to the "cooler" side of the engine bay (away from the exhaust manifold) and that also moves it up near the firewall so it stays dry...in my opinion a better location than putting a cone filter right where the stock airbox was. I used 3" ABS pipe with a 3.5" K&N filter

 

DubbleJ's, I like your thinking on using the other side of the engine bay. I'm up in the air about venting the engine bay by hood vents or lifting the rear of the hood. Yours looks good, what vents did you use?

 

If you've got no time but you're willing to spend some money, the Airaid CAI works great. That's what I did. It comes with an air dam that attaches to the top of the stock air box, as well as the cone filter and a partial pipe that eliminates the intake restriction. Made a big difference on my XJ.

I'd get the Spectre Cowl intake. Cheaper and the air from the cowl has to be better then air up there even with the heat shield http://www.quadratec.com/products/17006_7101_07.htm

 

Where did you get the Elbows / parts from? Specially the one out of the TB.

 

Thanks man! My hood vents are off a '92 Lumina z34...found them at the yard.

 

will the air aid work on my 88? i havent had it for that long, so im still doin my research on what will work and what wont.

 

I found a set on ebay for $5 shipped

 

Oops, I didn't look at your model year there. Not sure. Airaid says no it won't fit anything older than '91, but I'm not sure what the differences are. You may have to finagle the vacuum hookups or something.

 

Its the way it mounts to the tb, older system has 3 bolts 91+ clamp on

 

i dont really see the difference either but if the only difference is that it bolts on instead of clamp, im sure i can figure. thanks for help.

 

I made my own cowl snorkel has a inline filter similar to the spectre one

 

I like the look of your air intake, Unique. What trail is that your on, I like the look of that too?
