Custom Air Intake

[L31MaxExpress]

While the van is down waiting for a new radiator. It is time to finally get the Kodiak K&N figured out and customized to fit. It needs a little trimming especially near the grille end but the massive filter clears well. The heatshield under the filter clears the fan shroud well but the front needs some trimming. That Kodiak 6.6L diesel filter is a monster and it is 6 ply for added filtration. With over 1 lb of dirt in it the filter still outflows the K&N drop in filter for a 2001+ van.

Nice. Does this receive cold air straight from the cowl area or the hood itself?

Keep us posted with the results. That thing is massive!

Neither yet, but I am planning something for that. My intent is a pair of scoops on the hood. One aestetic and one functional. After seeing my intake temps hovering at 160+ driving around town the stock GM setup is terrible. Its supposed to pull air from the small gap between the hood and grille but it is not sealed to anything and idling around at slow speeds pulls hot underhood air.

160+?! You're approaching my boosted IATs.

I guess there is just not as much airflow with the vans front end geometry...

Actually hit 170+F after 10 minutes of idling the other day. Cruising 70 mph down the highway it stays in the 120-130F range.

Interesting seeing the work you do around the entirely different engine Bay Area.
