Air box mods

Did you do both together , that is remove the mesh plates and fit the HPD at the same time?
If thats the case that would be a huge increase in air flow, and you compensated that with extra boost?
On that thinking removing the mesh and replacing the OE hoses should see some gains as well

If funds allowed this would save a lot of work and looks very well built

I spoke to these guys about this six months ago. They said they had one they were designing.

mine is about 1/4 of the price and will do the same thing Im hoping
They should also do alloy IC piping kits

Looking at what they have made I would rather it made in alloy or stainless myself.

I'm going for a fully tigged stainless number,
bummer as it might be wrapped not sure yet

Measured up the OE MAF outlet and its 80mm, and heres me thinking 76mm would be way to big.
luckily I have a heap of 76mm stainless to fabricate the inlet pipe out of. will now need to measure where the hose goes into the turbo.
Im sure the 76mm is bigger than the convoluted hosing they use as OE.
Need all my bits to arrive so I can assemble and test fit.

Found some 3.25" x 3" reducers

Has anyone upped the size of the steel boost pipes on there ZD30.
.

Nearly have all the gear need for the air intake from the airbox to the turbo.
it goes from 80mm at the air box to 50mm at the turbo, good thing is I can do the lot gradually reduced
out of stainless steel, I'll then wrap it to try to keep incoming air cool.
Found a mob in the States that make Hi flow MAF housings seems the Audi ,VW, Volvo and Opel
use a very similar style MAF, these units are 76mm thats bigger than the HPD unit but not by much.
plus cheaper too.

Can you do a before and after dyno run?

[threedogs]

yeah I'll try, Ive been able to source all the fittings in stainless, .so it should be all smooth running from
76 at the MAF housing right down to 50mm at the turbo, using one 45 in 76mm and a 90 elbow long radius
in 63mm Ill need to tig an elbow in to it to run a line in AN8 the catch can, and braided as well,
Probably end up wrapping it to keep it cooler, might be interesting to see the figures though not huge lol
There is a pipe under the airbox I need to figure out if its required or not, nearly there
