JWT Pop Charger Install question concerning stock air box.

[TekneeK]

I just installed the Pop Charger filter. Do you guys recommend that i keep the stock air box around the filter to help direct air & eliminate heat or just leave it exposed & eliminate the stock box. Thanks in advance!

If you mean the long horizontal intake along the radiator, I think you should keep it. I just looked at mine, the air from there was clean, but my JWT pop where it sucked in air from the engine bay was dirty. (side along driver side near turn signal). I'm thinking about getting some aluminum to seal it so it there so it doesn't get suck grime from the engine bay.

shouldn't be too difficult to figure out.

PDF for 350z but should work for FX = http://jimwolftechnology.com/wolfpdf/POPCHARGER350ZINSTALL.PDF

There is really only one spot the bracket fits. It's actually a little lower in the FX than the Z. I bolted mine to one of the lower bolts on the filter and then to the spont on the lower part of the front shock tower.

thanks guys , ill post pics let u know..

should i leave the stock top part of the airbox there or just remove the whole thing for a cleaner look?

The kit is designed for the more popular 35's, and happens to also fit 45's. The bracket is not 45 friendly. You will have to be creative to get something to work. Try to find a convenient mounting spot and then expect the strong possibility of needing to bend the bracket or fabricate a new one.

i know right...!

do you reccomend i complete remove the stock airbox or leave half of it there to tuck the cone part of the intake in so it acts as a "shield"

 

[porkandbeans]

You can leave the front portion of the airbox in place and the cone filter will tuck inside and stay held up without the need for the bracket. Be sure that the end of the cone filter has the metal end cap and that the filter element does rub against anything. This configuration will gobble air from the factory snorkel path and from the engine compartment. I don't necessarily recommend this plan. With the front of the air box also removed, you can better access cooler air from down below - but you'll need a bracket to hold it up.
