Arc Airbox

[toygtr]

Hi all.

Just wondering is a arc airbox legal?

Thinking of getting one but got my car fully legal now.

Will i get dicked for it? Got a EPA off petit a while back and dont want him harassing me again.

If you have a factory intercooler - then yes it is legal as long as the pods etc are not oiled.

i've got a trust cooler on it.

Isnt it still class as a airbox tho? so can still have 1 mod to intake (cooler)?

Why don't you think the airbox counts as an intake mod?

The rules state, only one intake mod is allowed. If you've changed your cooler, you must have the standard airbox. Granted it might be harder to dick you for it given it's an airbox, but if a cop wants to be an ass about it he/she will get you for that IMO.

no not classed if its not stock its not legal lol as above you can have one or the other.

As soon as its aftermarket they will say its modifed theyd probably if going to extremes say having a aftermarket panel filter in your stock airbox is a mod ahhaha.

Is it factory? No.

Answers the question

Rest is here in the first page of the EPA/RW thread.

i wouldnt there a waste of money unless you find one really cheap... stick to a stock air filter......better performance and no po po trouble

I considered getting one myself, not worth it IMO.

How much power are you after, in my research i have found that the standard gtr airbox is good for 300awkw any way (some say closer to 350).

an arc airbox if f**king awesome dudes.

definaely worht the cash i spent getting mine. i have had a few different intake setups (stock airbox with upgraded panel filter, apexi pod on a 3 inch metal intake pipe etc) and the arc is the only one which u actually notice the difference over the whole rev range it is more responsive.

ive been pulled over many many times with it and never had a problem however petit is another story lol

Ive got 350kw. Thats all im after, no need for anymore, just want cooler air going in. With the bonnet im looking at it has a vent right where the arc box has intakes.

thought of selling the trust cooler and getting the ARC?

that would be legal

[Birds]

Legally expensive

But worth it if you have the dosh...

Actually, near impossible to tell unless they go ripping your front bar off, but it's still technically an intake modification replacing the standard side mount with an ARC...

Not that I don't believe you but I'd really like to see dyno graphs to back that up. Not being a smart ass here, actually being serious - do you by any chance have any? I've often wondered just how much difference, if any I'd see.

ARC coolers are rad, I had one (and still have a damaged but air tight one for an R34 GTT in my roof). Not sure what you mean about legal, unless you mean the factory mount replacements, which yeah - you'd get away with.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

adam its an R...

i mean replace the trust FMIC with the stock GTR FMIC which is fine for 350rwkw and use the sale $$$'s to buy an ARC airbox

My mistake Yep Would be a good way to go.
