Intake idea - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

dragon240sx · 07-01-2001, 11:36 AM

With the talk about moving the battery to the trunk of the 240sx (I have a 96 so I'm sure under the hood of the S13's are a little different), I was looking under my hood and got a "great" idea. How do you all think it would work if you moved the battery to the back, then made a custom short-pipe intake and ran it to the left  into the fender because there is a little piece that will pop right out and leads directly into the fender.  With the battery out of the way, the custom piping would fit perfectly <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Any opinions?

Hey West, since I have to move the battery before I can do any of this, I just wanted to ask how would you recommend running the wires once I got the battery box? What path should I take to run the wires?

Mine runs under the car. If you look under the car there are 4 wires that run back to the fuel tank or at least in that direction. Mine is routed from the inside of the engine bay all the way back to the rear hatch. Looks VERY clean. Sorry for not getting pictures up sooner, Boostaholic always has the Digital Camera :\

Hey, it's all good <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> I don't have the supplies yet anyway so no rush. Thanks for the tips!
