Previously I had the blue pancake filters fitted so there was the noise of the air being sucked in. Now I have refitted the original air box with internal filter and directed the air intake through a space in the front panel so that it sucks in clean cold air from outside the engine bay and also has a "ram air" effect. This is on my 144S. Will post more pic's later.

It's a B20b so it is relevant. There is an cut out in the front panel which looks as though something fits in.It leads to fresh air. Just need to find a better piece of extension tube

I think the injection cars have an air filter on the rad side of the bulkhead in a can. There is normally a separator wall to stop major water ingress into the filter area. The 3 small cutouts around the hole probably allow a bayonet fitting of some sort, maybe just for a rubber seal/grommet. I'll have to look a the parts book sometime.

I think any ram effect would be dissipated by the filter and the turbulence brought about by a fluted inlet pipe. |
