1 hole airbox mod for the cab
After all of the hard work that went into the new motor i thought it best to run the Harrop LS112 with a filter this time out to avoid any nasty mishaps.
So the first thing i did was convert my 2 hole airbox to a one hole airbox.   After making the hole large enough i whipped up a quick mould out of some waste plastic & made the intake that will replace the headlight.   I have since put another layer of glass on the scoop. I will finish this tomorrow night. Next thing to do is fabricate the 5" maf pipe & new airbox lid.

1 Hole airbox mod part II
Part II.
This is a big rush job so no points for presentation, function is the call for the day. Liverpool exhaust made up a piece of 5" pipe reduced to 4" at one end for this job. Next was to cut the air-box & mark the pipe ready to cut. (oops forgot the pic of the cut box) The pipe.  Here is the 5" pipe with the first cut.  The pipe & airbox after a bit of handy work with my handy dandy angle grinder.  Line it up in the cab & hold it in place with good old Gaff tape.  The inside view before fiberglassing  After fiberglassing.  & a peak inside   Fitted in the cab, phew, one job done.  Easy as!! I think this would probably work just as well as any CAI

It was a prototype & needed some fine tuning, it was restrictive & made the cab run rich. I am sure he will have it sorted shortly.

I am very curious to hear how loud the Harrop will be now with this 5" pipe & scoop replacing the headlight. I have a feeling it will act like a megaphone if the noise i made last night is any indication.
It was loud enough before...lol

Pete, don't know what it looks like close up but it looks pretty damn good in the photo's.
It was the noise of these blowers that made my decision to go turbo. Even at 6 - 7 PSI and with a full airbox inlet they're noisy buggers. |

I'm one of the people who is missing the part of the brain that allows them to work successfully with fibreglass, and I reckon you've done a bloody good job.
That looks pretty damn good Peter. Well done, should get a fair old induction roar going.  <-- A smilie roaring. |
