WaveyKat

how much does the C32 Air box cost from the Dealer?

advans

haha why? how much ur willing to sell it for? i'd probably know someone that might want it!

mike, the c32 airbox at cost, i'll try to get the price. as long as theres a part #.

IF you want to get it at discount. I can get it for you mike. I have an account at mb soverign parts.

phattbam

I dunno. I have no clue what the market is like for one of those.. I just like how the CF is in my engine bay. only now I need some more on my car to match it.. possibly interior trim.

Good luck with this proj. really interested in the outcome of it if you do go through!

phattbam

has anyone tried that "bolt-on" electric supercharger?

advans

hahaha the mod bug has gotten me since i have joined this forum. it just gets worse and worse...why? because u start off with the cheap mods. then once all the cheap mods are done. you gota move up. lol

i'm gonna give jody a call today, see if he can meet me on the weekends.

that eletric thing is just a fan. lol

advans

I just met up with jody, abt...an hr ago. and I just cleaned the Y-section. it seems to be I have measured wrong. the Y section is 83mm+ so I think it will fit on the MAF.

and also, jody dude, you have the dirtiest Y-pipe ever lol. a thick of buildup.

im going to the garage for a test fit, seeing what i need to modify.


*EDIT*

the fitment is ehh. the left side of the airbox sits perfectly, but the right side is a bit ehh, I took the plastic thing off from the Y section on the c32 airbox, to the MAF. and it fits the MAF, but its wobbly. hope there is a larger Y section. and also, the rubber that attaches the Y section to the airbox, that needs to be replaced. def.

I'm gonna take a short drive tomorrow morning, when I head over to my gf's house. (abt a 3 mile drive) and see how things work out. but I'd probably throw back the stock one till I get new hoses on friday. or something.

btw, THANKS ALOT JODY, I OPENED UP THE AIRBOX, and they were RENNTECH foam filters! hahaha a bit dusty but RENNTECH! btw, the airbox needs to be freakin washed really bad. its so dirty, theres so much dirt buildup. this project will probably be working on for the next month or so. due to school!

KIRA

wut dat do?

advans

its so late here in NY for a test spin. I'd have to do that on the way to pick my gf up tomorow morning. but when i get to her house, i'd have to put the stock one back on first. the jody airbox needs excessive cleaning.

and also have to work on the fitment issue.

WaveyKat

yayaya

advans

mike is so happy. when this is done, drop by and check it out. i PMed sunman abt a few fitment issues. hope he PMs me back soon!

WaveyKat

i don't understand how u will do the fitment but i can't wait too see the finish product,,,, so the middle part of the engine will be showing right???,, u need a nice kompressor to sit there lol

bloodyhands

wavykat does police mess with you about 20% all around tints here in nyc?

KIRA

just out run them as easy as that

advans

yes they do, in the summer! not now.


mike lol YES i need a kleeman SC sitting there. the middle of the engine will be exposed!! and the stock airbox is f-ing heavy. and this airbox is so light!

I was gonna buy new filters for the airbox, but wow..lol i got renntech filters!?? and the filters are pretty clean. just the airbox is dirty


hahaha not here in ny. I got stopped a total of 3 times. twice I whipped out the family badge. 3rd time the cop didnt give a *****. then I had to remove the tints because I "got" a ticket. but I threw on 20% lol (I had 35% light thru)

advans,
keep me posted on your airbox project, and specifically part #'s.
I've had that AMG airbox mod on my "to-do" list for a while, and it's time I get cranking on knocking things off the list. Interested in how the 55 Y-splitter works out, and what fitting/customization you had to do to make the air box compatible with the MAF input.

please post pics as you work on it, and don't forget the part # list.

Thanks !!

no problem carlos, as your coupey DID inspire me to start modding my car! but check back in like 2-3 days, as I start CLEANING the airbox, since its...really dirty. I also need to get new hoses.


BUT...testing this morning. I drove 3 miles, car was cold. when the car warmed up a bit, I noticed that there is a huge increase in the "sucking" noise, and on higher rpm, the whiney/throaty noise increased also. but I only drove for 3 miles in traffic. so hopefully I can do another test run this weekend, as I need to CLEAN and buy new parts. I hope this all works out.

and i'm glad, both the renntech foam filters are pretty clean. no oil or dirt stains. they look pretty much "new" to me.

WaveyKat

i got a ticket once but i had 35% in the front windows and 20 Rear at that time then i went and get 20% all around and have not gteen any ticket yet let me don't speak too soon

advans

I have to keep my front windows open most the time during summer. which I really dont mind. but sometimes its very f-ing annoying.

im trying to see if an optician can write me something like i cant take sunlight or something lolll

BlackLiquorish8

i've gotten 2 tint tickets got both of them dropped to a parking ticket and i have 20% all around but i only got the ticket b/c i'm in upstate ny and they actually give a ****. But in Long Island or NYC they dont care just as long as you dont tint your windshield and have limos all around.
