FD Airbox Build:
I'm in the process of making an airbox for my FD. I had the Greddy Airnix kit which fed the turbo only hot air and we all know that on track that's not acceptable. I'm going to get air to it via a NACA duct mounted in the hood and through the bottom of the box.
Here are some pictures of the progress so far: https://www.rx7club.com/picture.php?...pictureid=3899 https://www.rx7club.com/picture.php?...pictureid=3900 https://www.rx7club.com/picture.php?...pictureid=3901 |
Looks nice. Where will you be drawing air from?
|
nice set up.

Gotcha. It sounded like you were describing two openings and I got confused. But now I understand. :)

Looks nice so far. I have the same intake and have been planning on doing something similar tailored to my Vmount setup.
How do the filters attach in your current design? What are those black things? |

Gotcha.
I think K&N will build you a custom filter if you provide the specs. Might want to look into that. |

How about using a couple of Apexi filters inside your box, would it fit?

Update: Finished Airbox
Here's the finished airbox, I can't get accurate AITs yet since the sensor is still located under the UIM but I'm going be relocating that next week so I'll have the numbers for that soon.

I'm wondering about rain. Do you think there would be any ill effects if you were to drive it in the rain, sucking water into the intake?

Very nice work. A couple of points:
The "black things" AKA velocity stacks will work better if the rounded surface doesn't touch the plate that they're attached to. Your overall airflow ability is restricted by the size of the hole in your NACA duct. You might get better flow with a duct with a larger opening, and instead of going through a little hole, build the box higher so it's flush with the bottom of the hood and seals with weather stripping or foam or whatever. |
I found this article. Hope its useful.
