my finished airbox
for all you cone filter/standard air box peeps what do you think of this
its basically my 9 inch diameter 14 inches long inside a new box i have made up and fitted
its 11"13" oval 18 inches deep 2 2.5 inch air feeds from the bottom of my bumper to the bottom of the box it has a massive 17"x2" inlet that is feed with forced air from the front grill all is enclosed in multi layers of heat proofing to sound deaden the intake noise and also reflect heat from the rad it works very well indeed

no it doesn't its the angle of the pic the finished cover intake it tapered to the front of the grill thus splitting the air (anyway i think my cooler is big enough when its 120mm deep
all the sides are blocked off and around back of the head lights and underneath it has a a shroud around bottom of cooler just like yours
i show you a finished pic later
testing yesterday 24psi 7800 rpm for 15 mins i was seeing 22 degrees it was a warm day
i got no chatter now thow

i also didn't quite understand the 2 hoses at the bottom. was that for additional air from the front bumper? is so, good idea try to use as big a diameter hose and as smooth as possible though. airflow doesn't like the ribbed hoses
another way of doing it, similar to yours and maybe something additional that you can incorporate, would be to have the top part of the plenum open with a seal to the bonnet and a NACA duct in the front of the bonnet to push air in there
not everyone has the space for something like you have - moving the engine back was genius

don't want to cut bonnet or i would just cut hole and had a big chimney out the side
i can not go any bigger on hose sizes due to no room left in there even rods had less intake at front so i think the pipes were used as there ducts in the bumper so i should use them
the finished cover intake is flared outwards tapered to around 80mm deep in the grill area
to be honest i dint have much hot bay temps due to my engine back and heat shielding the filter was over 14 inch away from the turbo another good reason for engine moved back but it was more to stop induction noise for track days n such
thanks for your inputs

Will you be making these up then Brom?
I'm using an airbox for my throttle bodies to stop induction noise on track days, but I can still see me having a problem

proper job 
i like the way that you see things in motorsport and apply them to your car rather than following conventional road tuning that people have been doing to cossies for years

Or am i just lookin at it wrong

Look above the lip that covers the upper rows of the cooler.
The Red line above the R in PRO stops level with the opening of the airbox mouth....
See it yet??????????

Happily retired
I think you need to look at my solution Brom. It works at 950bhp & is neat & compact, will be polite & not comment what that looks like.
Wonder which one of us got payed as a designer.

Good work Brom, very well thought out
Any idea when the next trackday is? Wouldnt mind coming up for a look and maybe even a passenger ride
Does your car actually have to make any noise restrictions except for Brunters?

Arrrrh now I see !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brom would you not have maybe been better fitting it with a ram/scoop towards the lower section of the bumper to drag in colder air not a slagging either b4 any one starts just a question !.
