I gave him the filter he is using now since I never went to e36 maf. What is this thermostat you speak of?

ummm it was a question .... sir

my exact question was asked and answered after i posted it. The topic of the Fujita was the only other one brought up. w/e thats done...
Now another question that wasnt asked... How vulnerable is this placement to water?

After this setup is all said and done... would wrapping the piping up too keep it a lil more cool be an adequate move?? Cooler is better right?

First off, thanks for the excellent writeup here. It inspired me to buy a CAI and perform this mod. I did the battery relocation this afternoon so there would be one less thing I had to do when the CAI arrives. I was not able to follow your directions completely, maybe this is because you have a 2003 and I have a 2000. Anyway, when I tried to use the same battery tray holes as you show in the pictures the battery would press into the radiator hose so my try is at an offset a little offset, no biggie i guess. Perhaps once my intake comes I can get things straightened out. Everything looks nice and perpendicular in your photos. Good work.

1) He's auto, so no...there arent
2) He was making a joke....you blew it out of proportion
3) He's got dyno runs, shoot him a PM
4) Don't whine in my forum, or I will send you on vacation.

It's crazy how fast a thread can get off topic.
RMH: I didn't assume that the tray would be that much different. However, if it is then all you would have to do is predrill the holes in the tray to line up with your existing holes. Just make sure that you put it in place to avoid hitting the radiator hose and not too far forward to hit the intake piping. Shoot me a pm with your pics and I'll see if I can help you out. If you need it.

Anyway here are some shots of my initial attempt at this battery relocation on a 2000.
You can clearly see how my battery is offset a little bit and that there is no extra room between the radiator hose and the bottom of the battery. Im gonna have to wait till I get my intake before i play with it any more, once I have it in hand I will have a better idea how things will fit over there.

I think once you move the stock intake out of the way you'll have to room to push it forward a bit. With that being said you should be able to just drill the holes on the tray to line up with the existing holes on the mount.
By the way... line the pics on top of each other instead of side by side.

Im definitely doing this mod once i get time. But if i wanted to use the K&N air filter instead of the apexi... you think it wouldnt be no problem... i mean i have no idea how much room you had left to spare using the filter you used

There is tons of room inside the fender. I think it's just a matter of measuring the amount of space you'll need to use the K&N. Turn your wheel to the right and pull the splash guard back. You'll see the amount of room you'll have to play with.
Good luck.
