Good thought, and at least you're trying to make your own. Kudos for that.

In all honesty, if you've got an open filter element, you'd be much better off making a proper heat shield to stop the heat from the exhaust manifold from entering the intake. It's funny having more than one project car. On the BMW forums, all the guys are absolutely crazy about heat shields on their intakes, and I never see that here. It is a good idea, IMO.

instead of getting a pod, im thinking of just bolting my high flow to the plastic intake.and leave the front end of the air box out. think that is a good idea?

Was a joke, I took the signature from one of the 1jz guys (forgot who) and put 2jz as the best of everything, so I made it a gundam.

Sorry, I say back to the drawing board. like others have said, kudos on the effort. Keep it going. More into the planning stage though.
Good luck

real "well"
If hope it sells and you can make some $$$

Onto your filter though, I'll need some kind of comparison to prove this statement, else its just not believable.

itll still be sucking air from that little hole, yes maybe it will be sucking hot air if its still.
The restriction is the way the back plate on the stock airbox flows IMHO, i dont know what you mean. can you explain it more? yeah good find, but i think the way it shows the rivets makes it look shiittt and that naca isnt great looking ether. for a mk3 supra it needs to do way more chopping up the headlight structure. ill be picking up the paint in 1 hour. ill see how it goes . should i paint the aluminum plate in the vent aswell? or leave it



this is useful but http://www.revlimiter.net/mods/coldside_isolator.php
