Thinking about moving some things around...

[Knucklehead97]

While it's been almost non-stop raining lately and I cannot do anything time consuming to the Jeep because of such, my mind has still been stuck on "Jeep mod" mode. I've decided I'm going to homebrew a cowl intake with an inline air filter like Bleepin Jeep did. Just instead of out of the hood it's actually pulling air out of the driverside cowl. Since I have upgraded to a 97+ wiper fluid bottle the space where the old one was is almost perfect for the inline air filter canister to sit. Since I'm going to have that big space open without the air box, I want to move my EVAP canister over there so that I can put my coolant overflow bottle where the EVAP canister is and put a relay center on the firewall where the coolant bottle kinda is in front of right now. Then an accessory fuse panel beside the battery to save on wires being connected to my positive terminal. I made up a picture kind of explaining where I'm planning on moving everything, what do you guys think? seems like it would clean up the engine bay a little bit for me and add my own little personal touch to the Jeep. If all of this is able to be in these places, I don't see why they couldn't be.

Looks good. 

 

I would relocate to the EVAP to under the truck, near the gas tank. That is what I'm doing. But I'm just using a can with charcoal in in. 

 

I would put the overflow bottle next to radiator cap. I put mine there, next to the radiator cap, next where the original air inlet is. 

 

I bought a cowl intake kit, the filter housing sucks. I'm trying to figure out another solution. I like your drawing, That is an empty part of the engine bay. Any ideas on what you will be using?

Which cowl intake did you choose? I'm guessing Spectre as it has an inline filter and the Thor kit uses a filter in the cowl itself. I'm doing as Bleepin Jeep did in his homemade snorkle video. Its just 4" PVC with a Spectre inline cone filter fitted inside. I'm working on figuring out how I am actually going to run it to the cowl, flexible intake hose is expensive... and gosh I love that relay center! I was just going to get about 5 relays with plugs off Amazon and make a panel either out of Kydex or angle iron to screw them to. And on the EVAP canister I honestly didn't know there was an option other than the stock set up.

Spectre is what I have now, with driver side hole. The filter housing can't seal proper. The filter element is puny. 

 

I was looking at the Thor kit, but I don't think it will work on driver side, due to wiper motor.

 

link to the Bleeping Jeep intake?

 

Thanks

Jeep Snorkel - DIY for $144.37 or Less:

 

Hope that link works. The Thor kit is for passenger side only from what I understand. The passenger side has the room for the filter to fit in. With the Bleepin Jeep snorkle I'm just taking the filter housing idea, i don't want it going over my engine is why I'm routing it to where the old windshield cleaner bottle was. I also bought one of Spectres Renix TB adapters to make a Renix use a 3" coupler instead of being in one fitted position. My idea will probably work with the stock intake position but I wanted to try it out and let other people know how it works out because I couldn't find any info on it.

I may use his in line filter idea, seems much more stable then the Spectre one..

[Knucklehead97]

Exactly my feelings on it. And it's cheaper other than the filter itself being 30$. I can't find an inline filter for any cheaper than that. I'm hoping to get the reducers soon and have the filter housing kinda fitted in the engine bay. If rain would quit so I could do some of the important work on the Jeep...
