    I have a buddy that works for a sheetmetal place and he said that he would build me a cold air box if i could get dimensions. This is prolly a dumb question but does anyone have dimensions for the wizared cold air box. Once completed will provide updated info o the steps we took.

    What is needed most is the measurements of the acutal lid, we they can create one for near minimum cost. Any meansurements will help

    thanks

    It's been done before. Best way to do it is make a mock up out of cardboard.

    Agreed, if your going to make one, it can be done better than the Wizaired.

    This is good I got some attn. The reason I asked for the basicly the top measure measurements (wizaired cover) this will provide me a better gauge on how to improve a CAI design that both have a performance model and looks all in one. So again can someone give me at aleat the cover measurements

    My friend do you honestly think that they put time and money into r&d to make that box have aerodynamic characteristics? It's just a box with a filter in it, and it takes the air from the outside and separates it from the engine bay heat. This isn't aem where they make parts for 1,000's of different cars, there's not much profit after that kinda time and money is spend on r&d. All you need to do is surround the filter with a big enough box to keep the filter from getting starved of air and get as much outside air into as possible. Plus making it out of something that doesn't absorb heat would help a ton. I would just look at a picture so you can have an idea of how big that one is and just go to town. you also want to be able to run a big 9" filter inside of it.
