If I cover the entire back half of the Honda, vent it to the outside and have a 6" porthole on the intake side is there still a need to have a fan to push the cool air into the box?
A properly designed box based on the principles I described does
not require the use of an intake fan, just as
jauguston's own pics illustrate. I only added a fan to my own interpretation of his box because I was using an existing plastic box rather than a custom designed box and using a fan was easier than trying to cut in intake holes as
jauguston did and have the end result look decent. You certainly don't want to cover "the back half" of an EU2000i as that would circumvent the genset's design which uses the case to direct air flow where it's supposed to go. Leave the case as it is and either seal the exhaust bezel as I and
jauguston did or invest in a replacement bezel from Generator Line.
