DIY CUSTOM cold air INTAKE BOX | B8 Audi A4 2.0 TDI

[@capcadoi]

Great start, but you can improve it more: - You need to insulate that sheet of aluminum to prevent it from drawing heat from the engine bay and heating the enclosure where the filter draws air from. You can use 5mm self adhesive insulating foam that has an aluminum reflective layer on the outside. You can stick that foam on your separator piece, on the engine bay side. - The seal you have there will not fully seal the enclosure. You will draw extra hot air from the engine bay from the top side, defeating the purpose of the cold air intake. You can put an aluminum cover (insulated too) over the top of the intake to make sure that ALL the air that goes inside the box comes from the outside. - Another thing is the hose going from the filter to the turbo. That hose will get HOT on the outside because it's super close to the engine, and it will transfer a lot of heat to the air that's circulating inside it. Your air will be a few degrees warmer when it enters the turbine compared to when it enters the air filter. You can insulate that hose by wrapping it on the outside with an "exhaust wrap" cloth that's made from fiberglass and carbon I think. That will help the pipe draw significantly less heat from the engine bay, and it will allow the air to keep it's low temperature as it's reaching the turbo.

You’ve Made some really excellent points! This was just more of a simple not too in depth Version of what K&N sells, but honestly I’m going yo maybe remake a video In the future, and use some of the things you’ve mentioned! Thanks so much for your comment🙏🏽

[@MrEMVme]

@@modified_eurosport You can also buy weather stripping(or take it from a junk yard car) to replace the tubing that you used for a more "finished" and factory intended look.

[@randomrangoon5476]

Never thought to wrap the inlet pipe with exhaust wrap. That's a great suggestion and I'll be doing that when my avant gets back from the shop

[@Anthony-ue4zm]

Great job man looks killer

[@maker7901]

i would say yes replace it with black tuving or even use a rubber black hose from the auto parts store and cut it to fit and as well put some around the intake induction hole you made in the heatsheild so it will help keep from heat air from coming in and over all it will keep the pipe from getting rubbed on from the metal

[@ultraleo3165]

That looks awesome!! Thank you I made my own with the same design and my car feels more responsive because it’s sucking in less hot air from the engine thanks heaps!!

[@modified_eurosport]

Awesome👌🏽

[@pr1sm55]

Sick project, nice execution. The best advice I can give: Get yourself a 3D printer, you could print a rubber seal (with TPU) for the cutout where the air filter hose goes through. That would make it look 10/10.

[@robertdaone]

I'd go with black door trim guard and adhesive foil heat shielding from your local hardware store. Also a Dremel or similar tool to smooth all the rough edges, but overall great build!

[@adamnovak7717]

I have been looking for an idea to do this for mine I have the same car, thanks man probably do it on the weekend.

[@ayojex]

Well done. 🍻🔥For the rubber strip, go to a junk yard and just take the door strip. Good luck!

[@anito4138]

I would personally also close the top so that no warm air from the engine block comes through the cracks under the hood to the filter, then you really have cold air, which is what you really want.

[@Tweakin]

This is actually crazy I may they this one day

[@mk2nemo94]

C’est exactement ce que je voulais faire ! Bravo 👍🏾

[@rossn5186]

Not bagging anyone who does this, hell I've even considered it myself just to hear the supercharger, but always been curious as to why they are called "cold air intake" as they have been proven to increase the incoming ambient air temperature, however the only benefit is the airflow won't be as restricted as the factory box.

[@modified_eurosport]

This is a super common thought! However it’s been tested and measured. After the air gets pushed through the intercooler it has little to no difference!

[@Xentrion]

That’s a great box,

[@modified_eurosport]

Thanks brother🙏

Hi i have a question i drive an Audi a4 b8 as an A-traktor ( search it up) which is a car that goes in only 30 kmh do you think that if i put an air intake without making a heat shield that it would affect my cars driving?

Everyone will tell you something different… but if the car only goes 30kmh then it probably won’t make any difference

[@cristiroland]

is there a diference between stock air filter and the one that you have?

The Main difference is sound. But also less restricted airflow.

I’ll be honest with you. Probably not. For me *PERSONALLY* I feel a better throttle response, and obviously a deeper tone in the exhaust. As for fuel, probably no better no worse. However now I’m running a different setup. More videos to come in the future! Thank you for your comment🤟🏽
