LS Airbox
 

Thought I'd share my air box.

95-97 chevy truck under hood storage box with "ram air" opening in core support and temp sensor relocation.

Double Duty, I like it!
Are these in all pick ups?

Re: LS Airbox
 

cool setup. Fwiw, thats called a "bellmouth"

Re: LS Airbox
 

Thanks! I think they are in just about every truck and suv. Some of the diesel trucks had 2nd batteries in that location.

I really wanted to find something GM to use and this popped in my head.

Re: LS Airbox
 

I always called them turbo mouths because they are often seen on turbo cars. Bell mouth sounds better.

Re: LS Airbox
 

Especially if you run one on a supercharged car....turbo mouth wouldn't feel right :lol:

TODAY, find a truck box from a 95 to 97 Chevy truck !!

Re: LS Airbox
 

Killer looking ride. Love the stance.

Re: LS Airbox
 

Also added a gasket to the lid and a clevis pin to hold it tight.

Re: LS Airbox
 

Thank you. I am really happy with how it turned out.

Daddydan717 is who I got mine from

Re: LS Airbox
 

You are right, same side, but it is s Griffin LS radiator without built in transcooler.

Summit racing. Couple hundred bucks

Re: LS Airbox
 

Thanks, I will try that

Re: LS Airbox
 

heres mine
used the stock hose, with a K&N on the end.

sawed off the big empty square on the stock hose cause it was hitting the radatior
covered the hole with a data plate i took from a abandoned coal fired powerplant in Greenville SC

now gotta figure out how to get the AC compressor on

Re: LS Airbox
 

I wonder if that box would make a nice home for the ECU and relays needed for my upcoming LQ9 swap? Seems like the right location for the typical truck harness. I remember this box in my 96 K1500 well!

Re: LS Airbox
 

Here is mine.

4" hole cut for the air to enter the box.

The caddy box with another 4" hole cut and coupler installed. I sealed off the factory opening.

Re: LS Airbox
 

I'm sure it would. Would be a nice way to hide all that junk. I chose to use it as an air box so I could do the ram air thing. All of my electronics are under the seat with amplifiers, relays and the push button start box. It was just too much to squeeze in there and not stress the harness connections.

Re: LS Airbox
 

Nice set up. Very discrete.

Thanks,
That's why I like this site so much. People do some of the coolest easist stuff to make their rides personal.:chevy:
