    Default Need suggestions on OTR cold air intake systems.

    I have been looking around the net for a good Over The Radiator (OTR) cold air intake system for my VZ Crewman ute. And all of them look rather cheap, though in cost they are anything but. So I was thinking of making my own.

    My idea was to cut the opening into the stock radiator shroud, make a small ram and use ducting to link it near the original air box (so I can still use a high flow air-filter and keep it looking stock). I would then cover the ducting and air-box in aluminum heat tape to help keep the temperature down.

    Is this idea feasible or are there better options to doing this?

    Any suggestions or improvements.

    Suggetion: Don't Bother, all Alloytec OTR CAI look Crappy and dont really do a darn thing (except cost a lot) Save your coin and spend $30 on a M.C.A.I or two hole mod.

    otr wont fit, needs the maf, unless you can modify it, but then again Castle Hill have designed one, and did not get power gains, instead got a reduction in power from fitting the otr to the alloytec. dont believe me, call them up hope this helped.

    Would a VCM unit be suitable?

    They looks pretty sweet!
