Big Dan Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I recently did this and it's freed up a lot of space, on the manifold side. If a similar set up has already been posted, my apologies. I used the following - 3" aluminum tubing Spectre Performance 8791 Black 3" Low Profile 90° Elbow Spectre Performance 99456 Throttle Body Adapter Spectre Performance 9712 Vacuum Sensor Adapter Kit 3.5" to 3" silicone coupler Air filter from a 1995 1.8L Acura Integra (I used WIX 46398) Pieced together an old renix harness to make a breather tube.. I need to make a more permanent solution. The throttle body adapter bolts up to the renix throttle body in order to give the TB a "lip"/nipple(?) for the tubing to connect to. The 90 degree elbow is then hooked to the throttle body, followed by the aluminum tube. I can get an exact measurement, if someone needs it, but, I think I cut my length at 18". The Integra air filter is used as it was a cone style air filter, but was an OEM paper style, instead of the K&N style, which seems to let in more contaminants than it should. The Integra filter base is a shade under 3.5". So I used a 3.5" to 3" coupler to attach it to the aluminum tube. Finally, I used a hole saw and the 10mm fitting from the 9712 vacuum sensor kit to make a breather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pizzaman09 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Nicely done. I'm trying to figure out why one would do this. Are you planning to put something in the area the area resides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 nice! but the big question is... how bad is the whistle? is the tube long enough to muffle it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dan Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Nicely done. I'm trying to figure out why one would do this. Are you planning to put something in the area the area resides? Yes, I put a fuse box and bus bar where the old air box was.Additionally, I just like the extra room to access things. And, the new intake doesn't take up much room, where it currently sits, so it not a hindrance in its new spot.

Big Dan Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 nice! but the big question is... how bad is the whistle? is the tube long enough to muffle it? Honestly, it sounds the same as stock. I can't tell the difference when driving. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZJeff Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I notice one thing that nobody has mentioned: in your picture where the master cylinder was shown, the brake lines seem to be made from copper. Are they? If they ARE made from copper, that is NOT a good choice for hydraulic brake lines. They should be made from a steel alloy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokeyyank Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Just wondering how much you ended up spending on this? I'm was looking at a THOR intake for the MJ because I need to relocate the airbox when I dove nose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75sv1 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I have the THOR kit to put in. I plan on a second battery in the airbox place, in my '00 XJ. I think Dirt Bound sells a tray to go there. Also, won a Genesis Dual Battery kit. It will probably go into my '01 XJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
