More cold air needed

[Rotary Rex7]

G\'day peeps

Just been thinking about how to get a better amount of cold air in to the engine.

What if there was a way to mount the induction fillter in the front bumper away from the rad?

I think that if the front bumper was an after market jobbie that was bigger that standard,then there might be enough room for the fillter and with slight mods, the pipe work that connects it to the turbo intakes.

dose any one else thinks it might work or is it just never going to work?


cheers peeps

One of the guys has done with with a stock early model bumper.

He removed the side lights/indicators and used these holes with the air filters just behind.

Took a lot of work, and extra wiring for lights, but he seemed to think it worked pretty well.

Shame he doesnt post much on here.

You can get a custom job on the bonnet making a vent right where the air induction is, although if its raining the filter will get wet???:confused:

Mines got a slit on the front bumper for air. Its the standard airbox inside but has a funnel type thing to catch air in the box.
