making an aluminum air box

[exrider008]

can some one give me the Dimensions of there alnminum air box because i have the skill and metal to make one and i dont want to spend 100 bucks when i can do it for free.

Thanks!

will this box work? i can give u the dimensions

[exrider008]

yes that will work i was looking at that same box.

i also made a k and n box top for it... want the k and filter number or anything to make a custom box top?..... i will get these dimensions on here in about 20 minutes... notes: try to have the fewest peices possible for best strength, make a lip all the way around it, it will increase overall strength... dont put the solenoid on the inside if u have a k and n, it will get in the way of removing the filter

width 18.4 cm, length 28.2 cm, height 14.5 cm ........... make sure u leave enough lip left to weld and for when u bend it and such......mine has 2 mm thick aluminum.... but u shuld get 3 mm it will be stronger make sure u use high quality aluminum to..... dont forget to make a lip around the top like the um has

i bought that box and it is pretty strong, except for the back where the battery is, it is cracking along the edges from the weight and the jumps.

easy fix is some pieces of angle alum. and weld them in.
and you will want to drill holes in the bottom if you run with no lid.
you also have to cut the intake boot to fit the hole and groove it some how. i used a utility knife to cut the groove.


other than that it is a good easy design that can be easily made
