Air Box Progress
Well I got my new used air box from crashtd today and the cutting began. You may ask yourself, why take a perfectly good box and hack it all up. Well since the very first day I took the lid off the box I was dissapointed. All those turns, all those restrictions. So I thought, why not make your own modifications. So I did a little looking around and kinda took what I liked and used some of my ideas. Here is what I have done so far. I removed both walls that support the filter floor. I will lay up some carbon where the paper is now. A filter will be made on each side that will span from the original box bottom to the side. The lid will be removed and it will seal against the tank (I stole this idea, he he he). I will keep the velocity stacks and throttle bodies all stock. I plan to run my TLR on a dyno with the stock box and stock filter, stock box with the K&N (thanks crashtd), and lastly with the fully modded box. I have a slight tranny problem so that might get fixed to this winter. If that's the case, then new cams are going in too, heck maybe pistons. I will try to do a very detailed write up, like rupes did for the TLS box. Any sugestions, well I am always up for them.Last edited by yeller_twin; 10-27-2003, 09:24 PM.Tags: None

I could drop the floor, but I would have to re-route all the lines through the side or the bottom. I don't see that much of an advantage to justify that much work. You have to remember that I am lazy. I wanted the stock base so I could remove it just like a regular box and work on it w/o any troubles.
To lay up a box of that sort would require a lot of masking off and a lot of free time, something I don't want to do and something I don't have time to do. I am gettin the best of both worlds here. I can also show anyone how to do this, beacuse it is really simple. Free forming or moldless construction is quite a pain and would get almost the same results, in my mind atleast.
