The new airbox is now on.




We were supposed to get on the dyno today, but when I got there the tuner didn't have his cable to connect the laptop to the Motec :x Rescheduled for Wednesday night at Insight motorsports

the good news is - the car is alive...it starts and runs and although we have changed a host of things, the tune is good enough to get the car on and off the trailer.

Mark.

And here is a front view of "the Barrell"

Cant wait to see the results of the dyno. Just keep us posted aye

Is the way this works, similar to inlet manifold plenum theory?

I would like to see what is in the barrel :)

Any clues Mark :)

im thinking fins in the shape of a spiral..........

Hmmmm, the old water swirling in a bottle theory again 99.
Should be good with a 34 mm restrictor.

Nothing gets past you guys!

I am hoping (expecting) the air to swirl inside the barrell - we know the air spins when it goes through the restrictor, so my theory is that with a round airbox, the efect might start a little earlier, and hopefully help flow through the restrictor.

Phunk.....it's very similar to a plenum. Essentially we have one trumpet (restrictor) attached to the front of the turbo. With this set-up the shaping of the trumpet can work to it's best effect, and still have cool filtered air.

where do those sunny strut braces come from?
