Wow Clownmeat, I don't make my way to the 3rd Gen section often if ever, but I found your build through the April TOTM thread, and you sir, are exceptional!

I've just spent the better half of my day reading your entire build thread and I'm in awe of the things you've conceptualized and realized.

Normally biased toward my 4th gen brethren, but you've got my vote hands down for April. Keep up the great work brother!

I have a feeling you might remember this place.

Broken Arrow in Sedona. Devil's stairs?

I'm in Sedona right now. Driving back to California today. Did one of those pink Jeep tours to keep myself entertained.

Yup, that's me before the turbocharger and stuff but lifted and tires at least.

Just looked through all 28 pages of your build. Awesome, awesome, AWESOME! Crazy good stuff. Please keep going!

High temp neoprene air duct hose to pipe the snorkel to the turbo.

"Seems Legit"

So on a cfm calculator a turbocharged 3400cc motor can suck up to 720 cfm at 6000 rpm. The inline filters I have found only do about 450 cfm like this one.
Maybe I need to biuld a big sealed airbox full of foam so it doesn't hinder performance.

RHeld24 · Apr 14, 2012

Could you run two of those filters like a parallel circuit for a total of 900 cfm?

Jeddy · Apr 26, 2012

Just read this whole thread in my three hour art history class. Way more interesting :bigok: awesome rig! I hope mine gets to your level some day.

Clownmeat · Apr 27, 2012

Found a suitable filter 12" long 6.5" diameter and a 3" radial seal, just need to build a housing.

Thanks! I didn't even realize there was a T4R of the month or that mine was being voted on. I just saw the current poll box on the right of the screen today and saw my name, pretty cool.
