R33 Airbox

[quarkgun]

Hey guys,

i bought an airbox from a forum member for my s2 r33, but it doesn't fit properly. the mounting bolt holes dont all line up. I can probably make a bracket for it, but i was just wondering - his car was a s1 - i wouldn't have expected them to be different, does anyone know if they are?

cheers

Anyone?

Hmmm, I can't remember if its the R32 and R33 boxes that are different or the series 1 and 2.

Did your original airbox have the hole in the side of the airbox? (ie. one hole for the snorkel to connect to, and another on the side near the filter).

My car didn't come with an airbox, it had a hks mushroom filter, so i couldn't say. I wanted to replace with a stock box with high-flow filter to avoid any defections I was surprised when it didn't all line up

they are the same. it may not line up if your rubber intake pipe is out of alignment. or if your intercooler hoses are getting in the way

post pics and we can tell u for sure

I installed it today, it did fit, well all mount points except 1... but seems solid enough, so not to worry i guess

I have to say, the car is certainly alot quieter when driving now, it made a big difference. can't hear any induction noise at all, so it sounds slower hahaha, but the noise what starting to really bug me, so i'm happy, and from what i've read, i shouldnt be losing any power hey

On each bolt hole did you have a what looks like a rubber gromet with a washer on each side, if you dont have those maybe that may have put it out of alignment a bit.

From the research i have done (i also went from a hks pod to an airbox) an R33 airbox is good for 250rwkw with out losing any/much power.

Yeah, the upper two (the holes that line up above the wheel) had those grommets , the lower two, which bolt into a little mounting bracket above the intercooler didn't. It was one of these lower points that didn't line up properly. No big deal i guess.

As for power, thats what I read also. I'm not aiming that high, about 200 is what i want so i dont see that i'll have any issues, plus it's no longer defectable and thats a plus!

I said that as well, now im at 200-230rwkw and i want more.
