I searched around and havent found a thread that really shows what people are doing for the BFI. So heres my build. Would have been done today but ran out of light.

Heres a pic of everything stock.



Heres where the first nuts and bolts need to come off. There are 4 nuts at the MAF and two bolts on the air box. All 10mm.



There are three bolts that hold on the intake spout. One just to the side of the airbox. There is one behind the high beam. If you havent removed all of the plastic from behind the bumper you might have to move it out of the way first. The one under the headlight is kind of trickey to get to. You have to take out 7 screws from under the bumper and remove the front of the fenderwell to get to the bolt. Once moved its still kind of hard to unscrew it.



Once all of the bolts are removed put the fenderwell and the plastic in the bumper.

The airbox should come right out. Be carefull, there is a rubber seal between the MAF and the airbox. After that with a little tug the intake spout will come out too. It might take a little twisting but pull it back towars the MAF.

When done it should look like this.



And hers the airbox.

I want to do this, I'm really interested on what to do next.

Next is making the hole in the airbox. Im going to box off the intake area. You dont have to do this but I think its a cleaner look. It should be done tommrow. You will need basic tools and some way to cut open your hole in your airbox. Im doing this with a 0 budget. Everything im doing here cost me nothing but time. It should be done this time tommrow so as soon as I get done it will be posted.

Really looking forward to it.

I especially like the 0 budget part!

Hello - sc400808!
What have you done for the last time: April 2008 - November 2008? Where is your report? Where new photos?

I left my camera at the shop. Ill try to pick it up tommorw and load the rest of the pics. IDK how much of a diffrence it actually made, but when I really get on it you can hear a big diffrence from the intake. Im guessing from all the extra air.

Vadim

Ok. I would wait for your pictures and descriptions of the work.

i did a very crude BFI yesterday..i basically just cut a large hole in the intake box..it does make a difference just like that..

Ive been to the shop about 3 times in the last few days, even today. Really need to get my camera back so I can upload the pics. It makes a noticeable diffrence. At WOT you can hear a huge diffrence in the ammount of air that is being sucked in. I might try to make a way to funnle the air up from under the headlight. There is a nice hole... just need a few hours to fab something up.

Here is My old BFI link. Dont know how yours turned out but maybe you will get somthing from this. This is a very clean (looks factory) install. Loved it, now its coming out. Enjoy

OK, I remembered to pick up my camera and upload the finished pics. Its not as nice as scotts was but it makes a world of diffrence. The ammount of air getting sucked in is amazing. I wouldnt have thought it would make that big of a diffrence.

Doesn't look like you cut open the front of the airbox. Try cutting a big hole like Scott's and using some stronger ducting that doesn't collapse like the dryer vent. You've got the right idea though.
