Evo Intake Install and MAF update

[Jaxonalden]

I have an Outerwear on my EVO and I have yet to clean it. By the sounds of Johnny, his air filter is doing an extraordinary job cleaning the air. I also agree with his statement on the increase in temps, no difference here. If sucking in hot underhood air leans out the fuel and in turn raises coolant temps by ten degrees!, someone needs to be checking their coolant system. My temp sits on 182 degrees and hasn't gone above that since I've owned it (4+ Yrs)...and I live in an area with 100-110 degree temps for most of the summer, and yes I have the air conditioning on also.

Maybe the problem is your not driving it fast enough.

If it is just sound you are after, save yourself the hassle and go with a K&N drop in & de-snorkle.
Quick, cheap (under $30) and sounds great!

The increase in air and water temps are not noticed unless you check real time while driving with the scangague tool or simular. The water temp gague is pathetic at best. A mark from 180 and 250 is not a precise instrument.
Basing your water temp on how much of the 0 is covered up will not see the increase.

If your fans turn on High up front the water temp is 215ish or higher. I have seen my temp go as high as 219 with redline water wetter and 230 without it. The pin was just at the edge of 0.

I highly doubt that I have an unusual boxster in that I have a zone of super heated air around my car.

I promise you if you look you will find the same as me.

I made a make shift cardboard case and sealed it with duct tape, and down the air intake temp went, by 20ish degrees- soon did the water by 5 degrees.

If you want to really have some fun....I sewed a piece of thin white cloth to the inside of the filter and drove around. That fine dust gets past the EVO filter. The problem is that the odd size of the cone and pipe preclude buying a better filter to use instead.

The pre filter is the way to go at the very least.

Hi Guys,

I can make custom light weight carbon fiber intakes which will seal out all hot engine air and dust.

Have already been chatting with Jhandy about this and will probably be making him one soon. As I need to source parts from a few different places around the globe - doing a few at once would be cheaper. If your interested - let me know.

They are:
Light weight (pipework is a few grams....)
High flowing (3 Inch mandrel bends)
Pretty (high gloss 2x2 carbon fiber)
Heat resistant (carbon has excellent thermal properties)
Sealed off from engine bay (no hot air or dust going in your intake)
Completely custom made (I can make it to suit what ever filter you want, whatever MAF location you want etc. Could even make one to move the filter to a different location if you wanted!)

Let me know if I can help anyone out.
