Bonnet Feed For ITB's..Any Ideas?

[cliolord]

Martin's white ITB clio had the bonnet cut out for RamAir type feed for the engine but I want to try and keep it looking original....Any ideas lads? I have though about making a rectangular feed from metal which sits in the place of the grill and screws into a fixing around the radiator to force air towards the ITB's? I keep looking at it and I still cant be certain if this will work :cry:

Your car doesnt look original though, its lowered, different alloys, exhaust e.t.c

Just cut the bonnet you gheyer! :lol:

Saw a quality ITB airbox made by piperX want one for mine but £200 is a bit steep :shock: Will see if I can find it.

most of the renault maxi filter set up isnt available now, the airbox itself is off a r21 turbo iirc, then just need to make the rest up!

[Wobba]

That looks the dogs bollocks!

Think I saw stromba acquired one of these recently - though his one went on to the normal tb, not itbs

[Matty86]

Also, don't cut your bonnet!!

Yeah, Northy mentioned exactly the same thing, louvres ... It just looks abit like halfords stick ons though thats the issue. I am not sure if I would have to get the engine mapped again once i have either drilled my bonnet or run with no bonnet on as it may run lean? I don't want my naughty engine getting hot as hell...Man I am so anal sometimes about my car :roll:

[Matty86]

it'll be worth it!

looks amazing so far!
