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.

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

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).

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.

Legally expensive :ninja:

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.

    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo :-D

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
