Anyone have a stock air box they don't want?? I need a top half of the box, the part where the MAF mounts. Email or PM me if you are interested in selling it.

Why??? After looking at the Injen and Weapon R intake tubes and doing some thinking, I have an idea that could be a breakthrough for Scion intake systems. I need the top half to check it out and so some experimenting.

I just happen to have mine sitting next to me. I think you could have it for free, but You would need to pick it up.

Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks, but I don't plan to be in your neighborhood in the near future, haven't been that far south in over 10 years!! I live north of San Francisco. Would you consider droping it in a box and shipping it? I'll pay the freight and a little extra for your time/effort.... unless someone has one within 100 mi of me or so.

hey kdanie, do you need it off the box permanently? if not we can meet up one weekend (not this one but maybe next saturday?) and mess around with the intake... hrm... trying to think who in the NorCal group added the intake aftermarket... I'll keep you posted

 

I have mine sitting in the garage. I live in San Francisco, Sunset area. I can leave it in an ice cream shop (Marco Polo) if you can pick it up. It's at 1447 Taraval Street. San Francisco, CA 94116. Let me know.

can you give us some more info on this hopefully a good break through please cant just leave us hanging like that thats uncool its just like having blue *****

 

mine is just sitting in my garage, but i'll need it the next time i dyno my car with my new exhaust to get a baseline...

if you want to borrow it you are more than welcome

 

i'd give you mine, but thats the piece that i'm using... the bottom half is all yours if you want. haha.... i just pulled it off for the ghetto-style open air box mod. i dont need no stinkin' intake... all the sound, for zero the dollar... i dont gain the 1.2 hp, but i wont see it either.

 

I need a top half to cut up, there will be just the inside intake tube left when I'm done.

Here's a little info on what I have in mind. All the intake tubes I have seen use 2.25" tubing at the MAF sensor, 2.5" dia. triggers the "check engine" light. I measured the stock intake tube at the MAF, it is just a hair under 2.5" dia. Sooooo, why does the "check engine" light get triggered? I have some ideas that need checked out, if I'm correct we will be able to increase the dia. of our intakes at the MAF (the main restriction in our intakes) and increase air flow considerably.

Bump,

Come on guys, I know someone has an air box they don't need/want.... I'll make it worth your while ($$$$)

dude HermanC is offering his in S.F., I can pick it up for you, let me know... anything to help development

 

OOPs, Sorry I missed it. I'll PM or email him and work out the details.

If you go over to weapon R they still have my stock one, you can use that for now... Just let me know if you want to do that... and ill let them know. They are in South SF.

 

Thanks but I need one to cut up and experiment with.

I was at Weapon R a couple weeks ago so Leo could use my Xa to prototype an intake. It took a lot longer than we thought it would. That's when I spent a lot of time looking at the stock system and aftermarket systems and formulated some better solutions, they just need to be proven.

well you can have my stock intake as long as its for the better of scions.

 

Any update? Been losing sleep ever since then.

 

Not much progress, been killer busy at work but I will start fabrication of a new intake this weekend. Should not take long to test my theory and see if more air flow can be achieved without triggering the Check Engine light.

I'll keep you posted.
