Airbox for bodies

[evouk]

Any ideas where to get one of these airbox type boxes to go over my throttle bodies, been on some sites and there all carbon and cost 300 quid!!!

Tried rally design, demon, merlin so far

Cheapest option is to make one.

Not if the baseplate isn't drilled for your inlets it won't be... fibre glass can be re-filled and re-cut with ease... carbon can't. Also, have you got adequate clearance to fit the thing in?

The PiperX one is very good but it's also helluva pricey.

[evouk]

yes you have to make sure the trumpets line up....theres very limited space in the bay now.

The demon ones are well pricey, may have found someone to make one for me....

try these guys Adrian.

regarding the airbox is there not some design process to be thought about, like how the air hits the trumpets equally etc?

[evouk]

no idea had not though about that!!!!

Could run an inlet i suppose at base of filter to the fron tof the car above rad???

What do you think?

[J o n]

possibly, but I think it's more complex than that tbh. I think the angle the air comes in is an important factor? One of the engine geeks on here will know for sure, but with ITB's I thought they were less effective if air is just coming directly at them, hence the taper

[evouk]

over my head.............anyone?
