Hi All,

This is what i did to my Accent. All up it cost me around 50 AUD. I plan on getting a proper SRI with a decent filter, but this will keep me happy in the mean time.

Nice, that almost looks like if you removed the air filter box the SRI would drop right in the hole.

BTW .. do you have any links to what parts you used ??

Yeh, that looks like an easy install, would definately invest in it if I knew what parts you had used.

Good for the short term, until I can afford something proper.

That's kinda cool! One added bonus for this DIY is that you didn't have to do anything to relocate the PCM. :thumbsup:

It looks like it would be a much better fit if you take out the air box bottom.

Very workable mod and looks nice.
I was considering something similar ,but right off the throttle body.I didn't want to have to work around a place to hook the hose (weld ob a bung) .This bypasses that problem.
I do have one question though.What is the horseshoe shjaped thing closer to the intake? :thumbsup:

Kinda wondered if it was since I could see no other real purpose for it.
Does that mean I can remove it?Is this the only one? :liebe011:

Great job!, if you cut the stock air box so you can put the filter a bit lower but still can use it for the PCM??

I wouldn't remove it, because you need it for the ECU. But I would make some cuts in it. So it would help hold the piping and filter nicely inside the box. Use it as a type of heat shield. This is the exact type of DIY mod I've been telling everyone to do, if you don't wish to spend the dollars on a great looking setup like the AEM one. It's cheap, functinal, and you can put any filter you wish on it. Hint Hint (AMSOIL)

Here is what the 07 Aussie Version Engine Bay looks like. BTW I have got a K&N Filter now, you can definately notice the difference in performance with a quality filter.

NOTE: Still got the old filter attached in this photo. Will update soon.

Komptek... I think that Might be a different engine entirely... If you'll notice... thats not a vanity piece... and there are no coils on top of it.
