just recieved this in the post :)

[couzens]

carbon scoop for my new induction kit, to say i think it looks awsome is an understatment!

cost me £93 in all, including a £25 money transfer charge , i think its worth it tho

got the espace airbox on order now all i need is some hoses to attatch it all together - should look something like this when done.

 

[Zmaster2k]

wont look like that, thats GRP... will look like this

you need to cut the lip off the top of the scoop to fit. Jay-s wrote a stunning guide for fitment.

siliconehose.com for hoses

 

[couzens]

looks like ill have to pay £10 to read it, unless some one copys and pastes it to me in a pm lol has yours got a dent in on the bend aswell?

How's that going to scoop the air in? Air comes from the front not the back.. ? Or am I being retarded? lol

 

[.Stevo.C.]

These look good. Do they make much of a difference in performance over the standard box?

How's that going to scoop the air in? Air comes from the front not the back.. ? Or am I being retarded? lol

I was thinking that too. Like the spoon kit for the jap stuff as a scoop on it which scoops air in, surely that just sitting in the scuttle panel isn't going to do anything?

 

[Zmaster2k]

its an adaptation of the maxi setup shown here:

the idea is the air is at a lower denser pressure apparently...

and due to the size of the intake system it will proberly give more peak power
my cammed 2.0f7r made 176bhp on the rollers

 

[WTFRage360]

Is there an air feed at the front as well as this scoop as well then? The air is usually pushed up over the windscreen after deflecting off of the bonnet though, and there's a lip where the bonnet meets where the windscreen is, there can't be much air heading downstairs at that lip?

 

[Tom@JMS]

the idea is the air is at a lower denser pressure apparently...

Other way around; it is experiencing the high pressure / relatively high density region that is generated right in front of the windscreen as the car moves.

An intake does not have to be pointing 'forward' to work well.

Although a poor example take a look at the below image, ignoring the Vel paths, the colours are indicating accumulated air pressure:

Get higher pressure of air through the scuttle, Makes quite a bit of difference.

 

[WTFRage360]

So there is no front air feed as well as this scoop? I just have my air feed in one of holes in the bumper lol

 

[Zmaster2k]

doh... i knew what i meant in my head lol... theres the dyslexia comming out

 

[WTFRage360]

Isn't it causing the two high pressure points because of the way the bonnet is shaped with the larger like, "bump" in the bonnet, making the air need to curve around the sides of that before it goes up, Clio doesn't have that?

 

[Tom@JMS]

Don't get too excited, it's a principle based example...

^ Here's another, again ignore the vel paths.

 

[WTFRage360]

Just trying to educate myself mate lol
Questioning is always the way forward

 

[Zmaster2k]

i think this combined with a JMS style f7r inlet manifold would be rather nice...... wink wink

 

[Savi]

As if your polished inlet isnt tidy enough lol

i think this combined with a JMS style f7r inlet manifold would be rather nice...... wink wink

aye something along those lines would be nice

 

[Zmaster2k]

its the bain of my life, always have autosol in the car lol

meh... polish or carbon ...oooooh hard choice

Yet another decent induction system using a V6 espace box, I bet Renault are confused why people are still buying these!

lol, they probably sold more v6 boxes than there is V6 clio's out there.
Looks good Couzens, seen this setup a few times before. Meant to very effective.

waiting for you now wests

Lol I'm waiting for Renault!
