R33 Turbo Airbox Into A R32

[mrsr32]

does the factory airbox from a r33 gts fit into a r32 gts?

Note that the washer bottle location will make it difficult to fit the R33 box to the R32. Note also the cold air inlet is over the rad support panel on R33 and it is from the front of the R32 box (meaning that the boxes are effectively upside down compared to each other with respect to clean and dirty sides). I'm pretty sure this places the AFMs in different locations/orientations so you'd probably have to do something about your turbo inlet pipe.

I don't think the R32 bonnet/rad panel clearance is particularly suitable to drawing the inlet air in through the gap. You'd have to check.

And then there's the question of whether the various mounts line up. Given the rather different shape of the suspension tower, it's more than likely that the inner guard is sufficiently different. And even if it isn't different, the plastic is sufficiently different that expecting the mounts to be in the same locations is probably optimistic.

So, whilst I haven't given you solid information on whether it will or won't, I'm pretty sure that enough of those points will be valid to make it not worth the effort.
