What are the dimensions on that airbox, if you don't mind? It would be nice to get the length, width at the back, front, height, and the diameter of the inlet. Thanks!

Hi there
The dimensions of the air box are
Length = 400mm
Height = 180mm
Width = 140mm
Hope this is of some help

This blower is a TMC brand and its air flow is 122CFM , I just went to the local marine shop and purchased this as a bilge blower for use in a boat.The old heater box I gutted everything out of it and made new baffles inside it to direct the air through the heater core ,and only out the top to the windscreen .Then used some aluminum to make a plate for the end and mounted the blower to it.The intake for it is through a plastic bend and draws air from outside through the original place under the dash.
Hope this is useful !

why do you use a airbox ?

By using an air box you can draw cold air away from the engine and with the filter further away from the end of the throttle bodies there is no interference with the air speed and flow.

ah oke

Today the final hole in the body shell was filled with a new laminated windscreen, also another interesting discovery made as well . I lot of people here have had trouble getting a new replacement screen for these cars as the new ones all appear to be too short .Toyota have made two different scuttle panels that fit under the windscreen , one fits the original toughened glass screens from the factory and the other fits the cars that left the factory with a laminated screen that is shorter in height .All that can be purchased here in NZ is a laminated screen .

Here is a photo of the two different panels

Well you learn something everyday!

Nice and shiny!!


Managed to get a bit of work done on fitting the dash in and fitting up the center console, this takes the reservoirs for the master cylinders on the pedal box , also it will give me something to mount the fuse boxes and relays to as well





so the inside is starting to come together finally .

I noticed that on my windscreen too when I replaced it due to a chip/crack, although the laminated screen I took out wasn't original either. I should have ordered the shorter panel when I got new sides and top trims... but the longer panel is ok (If it was short panel short screen then )

I maybe would have mounted the remote reservoirs on the firewall behind the dash just to keep the interior less congested... but makes for easy access and keep fluid levels in check.
