T1R Air Conduct Box

[jrotax101]

i already asked that via PM, they said no.. it comes as a kit - although maybe if we get enough interested they might give in. lol

[redpepSi]

so this is a polished, production version of the homemade, gutted/dremel'd icebox with deleted resonator box and rerouted piping, correct? (and drop-in K& N)

[knh564]

this looks like a real solid piece, good work ajr, will there be a group buy offered?

[ImBiginKorea]

Just to ask; when you run the dyno and test it, can you post the afr for the dyno AND in motion? I'm curious how the maf/ecu..... will adjust to all the added air.

Can we have a ball park price range? If its less than 350 I will cancel my deposit on my injen intake since they are still on backorder.

[j's silver si]

subsribed!!!!

[citizh]

i hope this thing costs around $300-$350. anything more... no thanks

it would be real nice if it was $250 but i doubt it

[Turbotezza]

Less than $350? For all that carbon fiber, the machined metal MAF adapter, that intake pipe etc. etc.... You guys gotta be kidding right? More like $500+ or more I'd say.

all i can say is it's about time

carbon fiber and metal $500,shanangans

Does someone mind telling me how this is a "ram air" intake. Looks to me like the snorkel comes out where the CAI filters are placed. You mean to tell me there is forced air in there? How will this intake make 8-10 more hp while moving?

If I am missing something here please show me.

As the car is moving through the air, air goes through the grill and under the bumper to the area where the snorkel/filter (on a CAI) would be. The air will move into and around the snorkel/filter. The thing is, an open element filter doesn't "catch" the air because air can pass all the way through the filter. A snorkel can catch that moving air and redirect it to the filter. Thats where the ram air effect comes from. Not the best explanation but it should give you an idea of how it works.

No. The stock system pipes down to the resonator box, which pipes up to the top of the engine bay on the driver's side of the vehicle:

Now, I wish samco would come out with a replacement hard tube from the air box to the tb.

If its 500 then might as well buy the mugen one for bragging rights.

so stfu unless u have something good to say.

you know how deep in water you have to be to actually hydrolock it with that if your stupid enough you will probably have more than that worry about at that point. and if you splash water that area is pretty sealed in from the elements unless you actually go front first into a large body of water.

Wow Thanks for the input...I'll keep that in mind. Well I guess the foglight in front of it will keep water from hitting it or leaking into that compartment of the car...

[I Vtec, do you?]

So any idea on a price? I'd be interested in selling my Fujita SRI if it's not too insane. If it's going to be $500+, then nvm.

Quite simple really. Joey said that it could be hooked up to the foglight on an FG2 or one could use the lower bumper intake and connect flex tubing to the scoop they are using.

This is a high pressure area. The air will be forced in do to the higher pressure created at the lower bumper area. Once this air enters the inlet, it will be rammed into the intake airbox.

If there is not a connection to the foglight as Joey mentioned, you still would get some air in there, although not as much as if the foglight area is ducted to the scoop.

I explained why it will make 8-10 hp in a previous post. For every 10 degree drop in intake temperature, there is a corresponding 2 hp gain. Bearing in mind the ambient air temperature inside a hot engine bay, it is not unrealistic for air temps to be 40-60 degrees cooler due to the rammed air, which is denser, and the enclosed airbox.

I for one am quite pleased with the overall look of the airbox. My only concern as I stated previously is the MAF sensor position. I still contend it would be better to run a sectioned MAF housing and connect to the airbox, rather than installing the MAF sensor in the cover.

The other issue that is pressing is price. I would assume that wil the carbon fiber cover and scoop/duct, the price will be close to $500 or more. If you look at King Motorsports Type R airbox for the Si, it is $700 w/o cf. If you look at the Gruppe M, which is almost $1200, then, it is a bargain.

BTW, water should not be a problem unless you drive through water one to two feet deep. The T1R seems to be quite similar to the factory setup for drawing air in.

(That probably has answer all the questions regards the bottom portion)

To conclude all of this, all the parts are supplied in the T1R Air Conduct Box therefore they are bolt-on .

sweet... im really thinking about getting this. its just that carbon fiber top i kinda want it to look stock just in case i get pulled over. would this fit even if you had the tb spacers?
