Started and finished the swap this afternoon. Easy. Did it a little different than I have seen done, by using the old radiator shroud and bolts. Shitty cell phone pics.

Before


Mocking up lid


Cutting lid so the inlet faces the throttle body more.


Cut the frame to fit the filter. Used a 4 1/2 inch cutting wheel and it was like cutting butter. Same with the hood but I didnt get any pictures of that.


Fernco coupling on the throttle body. Reused old radiator shroud.


Fitting in the filter


Done


Drilled holes for the IAT sensor and opti vent


It hits the hood a little bit, you can feel a little bulge when it is closed, but it holds the filter tight against the lid so I am fine with it. Next up is to fab up some sort of ram air effect from the front, then test it in the spring.

Total Cost:
Used SLP lid $50
Fernco 3" to 3" coupling: $7
K&N filter: $64
Beer: $10

Tools used
Hacksaw
Sawzall
Cutoff wheel
Drill

So, you just flopped the air filter down on top of the radiator? Slamming the hood on the lid holds it together?

I will put the little 1/4 inch screws in the front of the lid eventually, car isnt leaving the garage for a while.
