Oh so you decided to listen to that then!
RE: Custom air box - Jonny81191 - 02-09-2014
Wow. Ladies put down your handbags! Niall I bet you that there is room for an enclosed filter, have you actually tried one in or not yet?

Ive ordered the smallest one I've found to see if i can make it fit but if i don't think it will so will be up for sale shortly

Have you got any temp logs of with and without the heat shield fitted? I'd be surprised if it's doing nothing.
How about moving your battery to the boot and making an enclosed filter box there? Could you then get a nice big air feed down towards the back of the headlight? Sorry it's ages since I've looked under a 306 bonnet!
If Niall didn't like making work for himself he'd have just bought a Subaru...... Yawn

This.
RE: Custom air box - Niall - 03-09-2014
Yeah moving the battery is an option but one id rather avoid purely due to cost.
The air feed isn't a problem. I may get rid of my fogs and use the right one as an air feed but its just fitting a box in somewhere
Yeah i have done logs with and without the heat shield and on virtually the same drive, my average IAT was 2 degrees lower but that was when the charger was eating its self so was stupidly high anyway!

Yes, you want to make custom fibreglass airbox and I posted a video of exactly how to make one.
RE: Custom air box - Niall - 03-09-2014
Yeah i watched that this morning. Cheers man

No worries.
He has some other pretty good videos as well with similar tutorials.

My battery has been moved to behind the passenger seat. Slits have been cut into the floor with an angle grinder and the battery is strapped to them. Looks a bit chip shop but ok. Cant imagine it cost much!
RE: Custom air box - toseland - 05-09-2014
set of wires, (from the scrappy from a 3series BMW) and a little time, small junction box, and you gain yourself nearly 6 litres of room where the battery sat..
Why not get some carbon fibre sheeting, not as expensive as you might think and more robust than Fibreglass,
i found a suggestion for you
