ITB'd 1*2s - Show me your airboxes

[Hollidog]

Hey guys, I'm in a 182 on Jenvey bodies with a sausage filter. I want to go to an airbox with cold air feed but I'm not really sure what the options are, I've seen the pipercross and reverie carbon options, but for the price of the carbon Reveries I think I could get something made up. I've got a Polo Rad and the PMS AC delete kit, so plenty of space to work with. Custom, off the shelf, show me what ya got!

Thanks Bozo. I've done a search, but with Photobucket bricking itself a lot of the images have gone with it. Anyone else?

for your delectation......

Some cool stuff on that website.

Look at @Nafoff ‘s project thread, he had a custom airbox/caf made up

Thanks chap.... here are a few pics of mine from a while ago...

Going back together now....

Thanks for jumping in Nafoff. Unfortunately I don't think I could get that to work with my rad, but perhaps I could split the top and bottom and connect them with some piping. It looks like yours is filtered where they are split? Do you get much venturi effect?

I would just go for something like Peugeot fitted to the 306 Maxi if you can get away with it with the rad:

Sorry, struggling to find better pictures.

It is indeed filtered where they split (for ease of service) and uses a standard filter size from a Hyundai Getz I think it is.
I haven't tested (or have the ability to test) the venturi effect but simple physics suggests to me that it should be relative in this case I would have thought

Thanks for your replies guys, appreciate it. There are certainly some innovative solutions for the 306, I think Ill go for something like the below, should give a bit of ram air if I can get a half decent seal up against the bonnet and block off the heat coming from the rad and block.

This is actually the bottom half of a two piece box, but the principal is similar. I think mounting it on the crash bar so its fed by the air coming through the grill and leaving a bit of space for the block to move around it.

A guy I race against has a slightly improved setup with a rectangle air filter fitted into the bottom part of the box letting even more air come through.

@Nafoff did you make this yourself or a company?
Would you/they make another?
Cheers Rich

This was made by someone who was contracting at RS Fabrications. The guy was called Michael Moyers. He now runs Alpha Performance Fabrications, you could speak to him and see... but I can tell you it was by no means cheap at all...

I like the look of the carbon reverie personally it’s what I’d buy but think as mine is pure track I’ll just run a sausage filter or no filter at all

Updated image as I re-assembled this today...

My cheap design and it works great. air temperature 27-30 degrees.
