This is what my pop charger turns into after a visit to home depot, I went originally build a fence today, but instead found myself at the air duct section of HD. I bough some thin galvanized steel sheet, went home cut out a template with some cardboard, traced the template onto the galvanized steel . 30 min. later JWT /HOME DEPOT POP CHAREGER. And no fence never got built 8.00$ mod.

 

duct underneath channel cool air into compartment still raw but not finished just yet

 

under shield while utilizing jwt heat shield

 

Nice fab work =)

I love Home Depot....you cant go for one thing...
Last time I went for zip ties, I came home with a router, and a value pack of Dremel bits.

=)

 

I have some sheet metal waiting for me to get off my lazy but to built a heat shield around my K&N cone filter. I bought it at Lowes though, will it still work??

 

Is it the ducting type of steel . if so it should when you get it donw upload a pic or 2 ok . thanks

 

Too true.

 

bigern, you thought about possibly painting it black?

 

thats not a bad idea, I might , it was a last minute thing , i better get that fence done first. lol .

 

priorities, man. the fence can wait. j/k.

 

Yeah, I have been meaning to finish my air box for my JWT, but no time. I put my stock airbox back in tonight cause I am trying to test a few things out dealing with heat and the intake system.

 

Ill buy that JWt from you if you dont need it.

 

I will be putting it back in once I figure some things out.

By the way it has been in for 6000 miles and is really dirty . . .time to clean it while it is out.

 

Would you do a favor of me while you're cleaning your filter. Please obtain the following measurement from your filter.

1) Overall length = _____
2) ID - where it fits over the velocity ring = _____
3) Large diameter of the cone = _____
4) Small diameter of the cone = _____

Why do I need the measurements? The open ended filter design looks interesting and I'm curious to see if it will fit my Stillen CAI.

Thanks in advance.

OK, I will do it tonight.

 

Vandy, what is the pics of the GTO for

 

cool

i dont have the heatshiled on my car since i figure the more air swimming around the filter with my vented hood the beter

 

Ahh!! Another engineer from Home Depot Academy . Good job man. That place is a goldmine for ideas..
Here's my version of Home depot popcharger. Note the secondary airduct. Lots of cool air feeds the hungry popcharger .

 

I got my Idea from you ,and the gears started turning in my head. lol.
