Std Airbox With Over The Top Intercooler Piping

[nakuma]

Hi guys,

I tried searching for this but couldn't find any info

I'm sick of the POD sucking sound and want to return to the std airbox.

The car has a generic intercooler with the normal piping that comes up in between the fan and the front of the head then around and over the top.

My question is, before I purchase a standard airbox and snorkel (which didn't come with the car) will there be room to fit it?

Or am I stuck with the pod or buying a return flow cooler?

Cheers

Some do, some don't, and some require some cutting of the snorkel to fit.

Totally depends on the kit & installation.

Good point.

It pretty much has the same layout as the picture below.

Any ideas?

no way it will fit

you sure,,, i think the box clears it, just may need to mod the snorkle....

could always make a custom runner through the wheelwell and mod the airbox to suit....

or not,, that may not work at all haha.

sorry... im trying!

yeah box will fit.... only the stock piping/hoses under the pod so should be right

get the snorkel with the air box and u can see if it fits dont imagine its gonna make the price skyrocket having the snorkel paired with it

Tell you what i noticed was if you take the top cooler pipe off and turn it around so that the curve side goes over the top instead of the right angle it may just fit, mine did...may need some modding but nothing too drastic and easier than modding the snorkel..

Worth a try anyway, give it a go, good luck...

heres mine..

You're right. I'll buy it anyways and see how I go. They aren't too expensive.

Good idea Arthur, not the pretty solution, but if it works..

Any major downside to running the box with out the snorkel? Just means it will be sucking hotter air, right?

Already got a pipe coming from the front bar, maybe I can join they up somehow.

Thanks guys.

Yeah a '"PRETTY" engine bay isnt high on my list of priorities, I like black..

But try it , should look fine on yours...
