Message: [QUOTE="markfuga, post: 895794, member: 10964"] Another step forward today. Earlier in the process I realized there wasn’t much room for an air cleaner and after much thinking I came up with this solution. I found the most available space was on top of the engine if I used a rectangular filter element. A little searching and I came across the AFE replacement filter for the 2011+ Ford 6.7L which they boast flows 650 CFM. I machined some ¾” aluminum flat bar to sandwich the filter seal, used 16ga sheet for the box, used the 3 mounting points for the stock engine cover (modified one) and added a filter minder and some decals for looks. Another feature is the 2 rectangular funnels that attach to the radiator support and the Spectra corrugated pipe that attaches between the funnels and filter box. Now it’s not only a filter box but also a CAI. Two additional modifications to make it fit was making a bracket to lower the GPR down into the valley and moving the EBP sensor to the front cover (later 7.3 location). I did some testing using pressure and vacuum to be sure the box was sealing properly. I was able to get about 8lbs of pressure before air escaped passed the seal which is acceptable. The vacuum test passed with flying colors. I attached the shop vacuum as seen in the pictures and burned paper at a smolder to produce lots of smoke. The smoke passed all around the box without the slightest hint of getting sucked in. I’m calling it a winner for now; the true test comes when I run it down the road. Here’s a ridiculous number of pictures to show what I’m talking about. [/QUOTE]
