C3PO Intake setup complete, (cusco inlet)
Hey club ft 86,
I thought, hmm what can i do to lower intake temps without buying a whole intake box? Gold Foil heat barrier came to mind, i saw people covering ej20/25 intake manifolds with it, so why not the stock intake box? Im waiting on an intake tube too, thatll get wrapped too.
I bought 3 feet (3'x24") from Pegasus Racing, cost $105.xx shipped.

took me about 3 hours to do both peices of the intake box, i took my time.
Tips:
* cover up ur intake tube with tape, so no buggers get in while ur wrapping
* clean the intake box with alcohol
* strands of fiber glass may get inside the intake box while wrapping, wipe it down when done and if you have an air hose, blow it off.
* cut the material with a SHARP razor blade down to the end not tacked, dont cut from the untacked end to the adheared section.
* when you get to angles, cut a pie cut, and cover it over & overlap. It all blends in pretty nice once ur done.
* YOU DONT NEED A SQUEEGIE! this stuff lays down really nicely, and u can peel it off n retack with no problem. no waste with this expensive stuff
* around the edge of the box, use the side thats factory cut, or a side with as little fiber glass strands, so those dont go into the box when ur changing air filters.
* there are 2 TINY holes in the air box add on thing, DONT COVER THESE OR THE FOIL MAY GET SUCKED IN (there is 2, about 1/8th in diameter)
all you need is, screw driver, 10mm socket, alcohol, rags, razor blades, & time. oh and $105 for the material
Ill post pics of the intake tube covered. Ill let uk how the car feels after driving for a while w the motor getting hotttt at 7k
