CIS to EFI conversion thickness
I am going to build an airbox for my EFI conversion and am wondering how thick the steel should be,(wether I use stainless,Carbon steel, or Aluminum)?
Thanks Oscar |

Here is something to think about.
Cutting the throttle at speed can create a vacuum in the airbox of 10psi. If your air box has a surface of 6" x 10" (60 in^2) this would result in an 600lbs force on each side trying to collapse that surface. Cheers,
