Looks like just the battery. Personally, not too keen on cutting holes in the skuttle

Apart from the scoop, I think airbox and pipes are identical to 21 Turbo airbox. I have one at home and it looks identical.

need to look in the megane section for it, fiber is 35 euro and carbon is 60 euro + shipping etc

the air box is from a espace v6, altho the 21 turbo can be used, then al you need is a throttle adaptor and some silicone connectors

To run a group a scuttle panel airbox set up you will need to do the following:

Cut the bulk head
Remove the battery
Remove the top gear box mount and strengthening bracket (have to run a lower mount only)
Modify the header tank position
Remove all the clutter from the scuttle panel to aid air flow

Is that your car?

Can you comment on performance difference over standard? Looks a serious bit of kit.

I reckon the noise is frightening. Looks feckin huge!

I dont think it does anything for performance to be honest. And the bass must have been turned up loud on the youtube video as mine doesnt sound any different from a standard air box (ie it makes no noise).

Ive taken it off and run a standard airbox for now as its easier to get on and off and im still working on the car.

If i had the choice id probably get a hillpower scuttle IK as the gains are proven and the noise is immense.

If you fit one you will have to remove the upper gb mount and run only a lower gb mount. found this tended to make the engine move a lot so i had to uprate the mounts.

You also have to modify the bonnet catch as it wont fit on the bonnet with the scoop in place.

So in summary, it looks good and probably stops the engine flooding from standing water, but i cant see it doing anything else.

depends on the scuttle type though really..

if like group a cars you retain a standard type airbox and element type all your really doing is sourcing your air from a different place to a front feed.

with a scuttle induction kit mounted in the scuttle your re routing the air as well and its more beneficial as tested by nick hill.

if you use silicone fron aair box to tb you can lift slightly inorder to keep box topmount iirc

That is true, but then the box sits at a funny angle. You really need to mount the box onto something. I have built a custom bracket that mounts perfectly to two of the gb upper bolt holes. The weight of the box and scoop is quite considerable and it starts to sag after a while if its not fully supported.
