Increase Room In Your Engine Bay with a New Battery Box

[cshunter]

If it was not said else where, the HTP 3.5 is able to fit with the K04.

Installed my Corksport battery box yesterday... (see image)
Other than that it feels better to know my intake isn't eating my ECU. The side of my intake was rubbed flat but no real damage to the pipe while the side of my ECU's plastic was rubbed away and metal was showing.

Still a Corksport fan boy but the trick to installing the box with the 3" intake is that you need to undo the brace at the top of the intake and push it down to make it fit. lso you need to remove the white plastic piece that's holding the ECU wiring together to fit it through the hole in the box.

Also it said to use supplied bolts to attach the ECU to the box yet mine didn't come with any. Lucky enough I had 4 random ones that fit laying around in my tool box.

So would the new jbr tru 3.5 inch intake fit with the corksport battery box?

+1 on pushing the intake down.
@06yellowroush ; Hard to say, I'd say its plausible. However the difference irc. in the HTP 3.5 and JBR 3.5 is the JBR has an actual inside diameter of 3.5 vs HTP 3.5 outside diameter. So in short the JBR is larger.

I'm running the jbr 3.5 with the corksport battery box. It's snug, but not bad at all.

We should have a 3.5" releasing.... soon..... also.

[jdmage_mx5]

3.5" is the old 3". Skip it and go straight for 4".



It will be interesting to see Corksports version of the 3.5".

I figured (location = armed forces, I think). Thanks though. Are you rubbing anywhere?

edit: Are you using the Silicone or Aluminum 3.5?

It's the silicone 3.5. I went with the silicone because it would be more forgiving than the aluminum if it rubbed. I had the intake in for about 800 miles before I left. When I did look I had no signs of rubbing. If you do decide to go this route, take your time and it will fit. It is snug and is not moving anywhere. I'm sure some good motor mounts would eliminate some of the rubbing issues.

I got the aluminum one so no idea how this is going to work. If the silicone works I can't see why the aluminum wouldn't work, just may take a little more to get everything to sit nicely. Thanks dude!
