If you've thought about moving your airbox...

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.

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?

nice!    

 

but the big question is... how bad is the whistle?  is the tube long enough to muffle it?

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.

Honestly, it sounds the same as stock. I can't tell the difference when driving.

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.

I've used this on my Ford Contour SVT. Porsche uses it.

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.

Ah...I have never seen a nickle copper line before.  Now I know.

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.

Total was $117, from Amazon.
