    Default airbox options for 1ggte ra2x?

    Hi all,

    Nearly got the 1ggte ra28 conversion to an engineering point but just a few little niggling things to finish off including the damn airbox. I was confident at first that I'd be able to jam the stock sucker in the bay. The intercooler piping however has different ideas :S.

    Now I'm looking for some kind of stock airbox that screws to my afm and is a tad smaller than the stock ga70 one. I noticed Rod used a cresida box but last time I was out at pickies they had all been pilfered . So before I head out on Sunday in a futile search does anyone have any quick wins?

    how much room do you have to play with? I used a VN-VS commodore airbox in my corona which has a very similar sized engine bay to a celica with little modification. Its smallish, fairly universal, easy to get and cheap

    charade airbox

    got one that you could borrow to get it thru also

    or get a couple of thin sheets of alloy and make a box, would only take 30mins.

    Why do you want a stocko box?

    There are BMC cold air induction kits fully enclosed for f**k all, and surely you would feel the benefits of them compared to a stocko commo box

    well I went scounging at the wreckers on Sunday and looked at all my options. After pulling a lot of airboxes out of cars and chucking them around I finally settled on a st162 airbox. The AFM bolts straight to it at the right kind of angle. My intercooler piping is a little obstructive so it doesn't fit perfectly but that sucker is jammed well enough in there not to go anywhere and the strut brace now fits on .
