I had a really productive day in the workshop today, I have completed the custom air filter plenum chamber that was required on my V6 Bosch K Jet Juel Injection System. (With a lot of CNC machining & help from my dad, all that saved hours of manual milling work!)

The original Sierra Air Filter box was a hugh lump of plastic that was almost impossible to fit under the hood. I have spent about the last 8 months pondering about the best way to get around it and putting off this job.

Very nice Spike, like the it sits on the bulkhead to. Should give a nice induction tone to the engine to - maybe add some vents to the side of the bonnet for plenty of cool air.

Excellent......AndyH ;)

Sound like a good idea, possibly an in line filter - canister filter connected to a scoop on the side. It's all a bit of trial an error but heading in the right direction!

Forgot to mention, I used Aluminium because it was a lot cheaper than a peice of plastic of the same size!

I meant to say more of a scoop like the one below:

Will get plenty of cold air in and not too obtrusive either, just thinking about it i think you have suggested the same thing....:confused: been a long week.
