I was asked to post some pictures of the Renntech airbox.

Let me know if anyone wants other pictures of it.

 

Isn't she a Beauty... I love my Renntech AirBox. What are you running for air filters?

Is your passenger side Gasket leaking?

Looks great!!

 

yup.

 

Actually, not sure yet. I need to open it up and check.

It either is or was. I wiped it down since this photo, and it doesn't seem to have come back. I take it this is fairly common with this motor and nothing to worry about, so long as there isn't a lot of oil coming out.

I will probably go in and tighten the bolts back down, as I've heard this can be a cause. If the actual gasket itself is bad, I'll leave it unless it really starts pouring oil.

Any other ideas to fix this? Thanks.

 

cool how does the intake look inside??? can you pls post pics of the inside part of the airbox?? thanks!!

 

No real way to fix it- Best thing to do is pop out the airbox and give it a good cleaning..... tighten up the bolts but be careful not to tighten them to much. After that just keep a close eye on that area - That way you will know if it's bad gasket or not (could just be grime build up)

Either way it's a cheap DIY fix

 

With the Renntech airbox, is there a carbon fiber engine cover to match?

 

You mean the plastic piece right in front of the Renntech airbox? If so I think one of the other members has his to match....All Black W210 E55 he pops up here time to time

 

nice airbox!!

 

this is a very easy fix, get some gasket maker silicone in a tube, take off the cover, take off the old gasket, apply silicone wait 20 min or so until rubbery and not too sloppy, tighten with hand , after 12 hours tighten a little more with a tool. Your done

 

Yes, exactly what I meant. If I were to get the Renntech airbox, I would surely have to match.

 

I have Renntech foam filters in there. They are very dirty, and appear to be somewhat rotten. I will be replacing with stock filters, as I hear they flow very well (when new).

It appears my valve cover bolts were loose, so I tightened those. Hopefully that will fix it, without requiring new gaskets or sealant.

Here are some more pictures of the intake.

 

Ah - that's right it's SAMAS well his looks like it matches - SAMAS care to chime in

 

They basically take the stock filter top, cut it off, keep the bottom part (to mate to the stock filters), and replace the top with carbon fiber. Here you can see the cuts, cracks in the carbon fiber, resin from gluing on the carbon fiber top, and even a fingerprint in the resin.

 

That reminds me I"m going to take a looksie at mine this weekend (Tighten if needed)

 

Did u notice a difference in pwr with this airbox,or does it just look more appealing? Thnx

 

The car came with the box, so unfortunately I can't really compare before and after.

 

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread but I was just wondering if the renntech air box shares the same bottom half as the standard e55 air box I have looked for picture on the web but can only find a picture of the renntech with a filter in here is a picture of the standard air box with filter removed to compare.

 

I remember reading somewhere that the bottom piece is different, free flowing and doesn't have the diagonal plastic walls. (completely empty)

Can anyone comfirm this? I don't suppose there are too many people out there with this air box to confirm? Thanks

 

Hi... I responded to your IM and yes only the top half is different but shares the same bottom half for those how come across this in the future
