Air Filter options
This might fit perfectly for my build as I have almost ZERO room coming out of the throttle body to the radiator so I either need a really tight 180 degree bend (with a 4.25 inch opening) or something like this, but I don't know where the MAF would go :/
Help? |

Re: Air Filter options
can you post a pic with the radiator in? and give some measurements?
do you have the stock maf air tube? for a maf to work correctly with a factory tune and computer the maf needs to be in the same area as the stock location if the maf was in a 12 inch squared area it needs to go back into a 12 inch squared area we relocate the maf all the time when fabricating a one off turbo installation, but then the get dyno tuned weld up a box with two 4.25'' rings on it to direct the flow where ever you need to one ring on the intake and then add your cold air kit to the 2nd ring

Re: Air Filter options
heres a pic with the radiator. I wouldn't say more than like 4 inches
I do have the OEM maf tube as well so I would need to implement that. |

Re: Air Filter options
Its a crate motor so I am working from scratch... That jegs one might be an option.
Not really room for a fan, might have to front mount it

Re: Air Filter options
Don't know if this is an option or not, but I've seen the radiator moved forward by moving it inside the current frame and using spacers to space it forward about another inch. The spacers were different sizes top and bottom to handle the radiator angle. Seemed like a good setup to get more room.

Re: Air Filter options
move the radiator to the front side of the support. You can trim the upper and lower valances to accommodate the radiator. The hood will close fine and you gain 3" and it looks stock
