tjcannon Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I've been searching for quite some time and can't seem to figure this out. My Jeep Grand Cherokee has a plastic piece that sits on top of the upward-facing throttle body to direct air in. Like this: http://www.kandn.com/images/l/57-1506-2.jpg That seems like the most logical solution to my problem. I currently have a round 14" air cleaner on top of my Holley Street Avenger 670 in my Z. It baaarely fits. I don't like using all that hot engine compartment air, so I want to build a cold air intake for her. I can figure everything else out, but I'm curious if someone makes something like that Jeep piece for carbs. Another option would be something I saw yesterday on TV I think. It was a complete enclosure for the air cleaner with a gap between the edge and the filter element. It had hoses coming off either side to dual air filters in the front. Basically, anything that lets me redirect air from somewhere else is acceptable. Here's what I'm working with, except for new wiring and new 14" air cleaner: http://www.tcannon.net/pictures.htm Worst case scenario I'll see if I can pull that plastic piece off my Jeep and test fit it, then go find one in a junkyard if it works. I'll have to wait until I'm back in the US next month for that one though. I want to have it figured out before then, so I can just get to modifying when I get home. Suggestions?

e_racer1999 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 ya, you can find them. don't know what they're called, but people use them for 4bbl blowthrough turbo/supercharger setups all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
