Gaz Walker Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 for those that were just discussing this in the for sale thread.. Available from zstore in the US, but i seem to remember Envy can get them... I'm sure we can yes, will try and stick one on our next order to take a look at. Quote
scottsoulby Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 We was on about making a CF version of it Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 We was on about making a CF version of it Daft question maybe, buts whats the point? Sits behind the grill and you cant see it!! must be easied and cheaper to do one in plastic? Quote
Darren-B Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Its all about the carbon, Im sure you will see it when the bonnets up Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 Its all about the carbon, Im sure you will see it when the bonnets up Not if you got a carbon air dam!! as it will sit under it... (Cant understand whats up with me!! Saying something shouldnt be made in carbon!!! Must be ill!) Quote
Pimm Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 I would like one if they are cheap enough Quote
andymc Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Mark - this is what I need for my Nismo issue .... do they make them for Dual intake motors ? Quote
Chris`I Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 I'm not convinced for pop charger/K&N type intakes these will make much difference. For a sealed unit (ala OEM) I can see it will help get more air into the airbox, but I cant see it doing much for popcharger given when you are moving airflow already forces air up that way. Any notion of "ram air" is balls given the unit isnt sealed so it wont presurise anything. Ramair only really works on very few cars and bikes. I remember when my R6 came with it, and they reckon its only good for a bit more power above 60MPH. What I have noticed is that there are bits of trim behind our grille which when removed could aid in airflow, but need to look at it some more Quote

Interesting. Was that at all speeds or just higher ones? I might go get a normal intake flexitube and add it to mine if thats the case Quote
