how can you make the jwt popcharger more effective
#46
This is for bling, and I doubt it does anything. Plus it's metal, wouldn't it conduct more heat than the plastic shroud around the Popcharger or stillen heat shield would?

I think most need to get off the "it's ARC!" wagon and try to see it for what it is. It doesn't do much good when the louvers are a good 3-4" away from the oem scoop.(if it's even on there anymore). When the car is stitting there at a light, those louvers only going to draw heated ambient engine air.

this is what my JWT looks like... small changes
i moved the OEM intake vent back, and made it flush... dont mind the zipp ties.
and also placed an cupling around the exit of the vent and threw the hole of the JWT shield for a straight shot for the pop charger, figured it would be A LOT better than two seprate pices of weather stripping and foam strips... and also used a nismo tube instead of Z- Tube.. eventually ill be wrapping with heat-wrap. i liked how it turned out and let me know what u guys think
PEACE

Have any of you thought about measuring the intake air temperature with Cipher?
Intake Air Temperature is one of the many parameters Cipher can measure and log. I imagine it uses the air temperature sensor that's integrated with the MAF sensor.
Might be worthwhile if you are designing new airboxes.

I was planning to tap a couple holes in the area that you have the center 2 zip ties and use pin clips to force the bottom portion down... I'm not sure setting it back and flush will work with the 2 air boxes I use either (Stillen & OEM).
Nice creativity on yours - every little bit helps and I think you made some nice changes

jwt ....
thanks man, here is some updated pics. i swapped the white ties for black...and added screws to the air intake and cupling just to make it secure.
i also wanted to figure out something to bypass the zip ties. maybe small brackets or something along those lines... and sooon ill be wrapping the nismo tube with black heat wrap.
hint !!! red bull gave the car wings! booyaaa
lets see some more customized intakes guys!!!

I like the idea of the snorkel/vent being flush with the radiator core support... however, lately I've been doing a bunch of aesthetic stuff to the engine bay so the zip tie method of securing wont work for me... I might try to figure out a cosmetically pleasing solution.

Slightly off topic...
So I got to looking at the stock setup a while back and figured if it weren't for all the resonator crap it would basically be a CAI.
Red lines show where the hood seals so the only path for air is through the grill and up into the stock air box.
Blocked off the resonator area in the stock air box with some RTV and a piece of phenolic I had acquired years ago...finally found a use for it!
ended up with this crap as extra, all from the bottom of the stock box
total cost $0...RTV I already owned, phenolic was scrap from work
