Hey mate, do you mind but how much was that airbox? And do you have more photos of it?

[nissannewby]

Fatz fabrication item and will probably set you back around the 600 mark.

Yeeeeeeep. Fatz fabrication. $660 including gst. Only have a couple of closed photos. They have more on their website I think.

That airbox as advertised flows 308 cfm, the td42 requires approx 550 cfm @ 4000rpm.
As I understand it is not the lid that is the sole problem. There is very little room around the filter element itself. That area is easily choked and therefor will restrict flow.

Performance wise, in the higher rpm the turbo has to work for its air, which it shouldnt do, higher and less managable pyros in the top end and torque and engine responce could suffer too.

Thats my understanding of that anyway

I'm a bit late on this thread but the main reason in my opinion is the restriction around the filter.

Every time I checked the filter, especially up in the Simpson was the thick dust circle from the snorkel side, rest of the filter brand new, very restrictive and wish I knew this before hand!

Few vids, ignore that old fella haha, was just my eyes to bleed it up and hands to cut the fuel cut wire if need be.

Should be on the road by tomorrow evening. Ironing out some loom differences and wiring up all accessories still to do. But its all looking good to make it to the exhaust joint Tuesday and if that goes well ill book it for a/c pipes Wednesday. Can't wait to drive it, sounds AMAZING!

If you are really excited put a towel down on the drivers seat..... you may have a bit of wee come out

[Dales300exc]
