dont want to restrict the air coming into the car by fitting a smaller box onto the car.
Is the "run" going to be on the road marty??
will alan be driving??

I rang up & sought Technical advice from K&N & was told this was the best they had & gave figures to prove what it would flow. Boxed it in & no ones going to say it dont work . Its fed cold air from underneath & also ducted from the front, its a tight fit & a right pig to re-fit when its taken off.

As Martin says, the Escort airbox lid is a two piece design, with the 65mm "trumpet" being a push fit into the end of the air box. Obviously this "should" make it relatively easy to do a spun aluminium replacement item to any size to enable anyone to swap over.
That's the theory, the reality is, YOU try removing it from the lid
. It is well glued in or twists out, and haven't yet figured out the best way to separate the two, so if anyone knows how this is done without damaging the lid, I would be eternally grateful .

. I did this about 3 years ago (on the old T4 spec)............BTW - the internal hole diameter is 86 mm
......some lead the way....others follow

Testing the future
back on topic mike, maybe the escos lid can be put into a warm oven to melt the glue?
i would have thought that the glue might go soft before the thermoplastic melts, but you try convincing the missus that you won't get a pile of melted plastic in the bottom of the aga

I'm still pretty dubious about all the hot air my pod filter sucks in, but I had to remove the old airbox as when I fitted my Pace RS500 Spec Intercooler I had to remove the air splitter and the piping that ran to the air box
Here's my current setup on my 2WD Sapphire (admittedly it's only a T3
)
