Is it just me, or is there no air filter on that car? I mean, shouldnt it be on the turbo inlet? I was thinking it could be in that box before the air hits the injectors and what-not, but wouldnt you want the air filtered before it goes through your turbo and intercooler? Someone explain please

PS - In this pic, you can see both the box Im talking about, and the front of the turbo, so you can see both of the places I think it could/would be...Personally I would run some cold air intake duct work up to the front to match all that other shiny duct work.

Revhead and rotor - When you are making 500+hp and running low 10s using 25psi+, an airfilter has to flow a shitload and has to NOT get sucked into the turbo...
Most DONT flow air and some ENJOY getting sucked into a turbo...

I was just wondering, because one of the best carburated setups I have ever seen was on Carlos Gonzalez'z RX-3. He has a holley setup on a 13b-re and a Turbonetics T70 series Turbo with a Greddy Type-C wastegate. He's running alcohol and all he has is a street port!
8.435 seconds @ 157.45mph
You can reconize the cap, but it has been modded, you can see the beads of weld around the top and sides of it. But its polished! Too bad i cant post any pics. No scanner.

I've only heard bonnet to mean the thing covering the engine compartment a.k.a. hood, so the bit about him connecting it to the bonnet- ah, nevermind. Stickers, anyone?

me me me! i was thinking hood too. if he does have a filter it is probably a cone and sits in front of the intercooler/radiator. that is where his piping disappears to.

It also looks like one could eat off of it too.. clean,,i don't
know about the location of the shifter though,,but thats just me.. I wonder just how much difference there is about the toyota - vs- mazda transmissions,,,if its gearing,or stronger innards and or case,or both..
I trip, that a toyota would bolt up,and the starter lines
up correct.

At the risk of pissing Moremazda off, you can also get fully cast and machined bellhousings to fit the Celica/Supra box on a rotary here in Aus. Apparently the boxes are quite strong and there's a good range of ratios available for them.

OHHHHH.... have you smelled the "new car smell" tree air conditioner? It's great stuff... my friend has one in his '83 Buick Skylark.... the air freshener's worth about as much as the car...
My rex has 8 tree airfresheners in it, covering up the smell that 22 year old cars tend to get after sitting by a hay shed for a year...
I'll look for a pic....Jeff

I think my question was where i could get that K&N intake cap....and it was awnsered...with where i can get it. After that i was just noting that this Drag Racer from the IDRC has a 9 second Rx-3 with the cap that i asked about wich is also on that black car.
Jrios:
7 seconds! Holy ****! 18 psi, HOLY ****!!!
