xsspeed Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 ^ this, but I guess you could still open up the windscreen end of the bonnet if need be (assuming its a +pressure zone on my car it could work alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yeah for sure! you could definitely have the air feed to your intake coming straight from the drip tray below the windscreen, this is definitely a high pressure area. (Which is why its where the air for the heater/fan comes from) Probably makes a bit more sense than running to the front of the car. It would be best leaving the rear of the engine bay sealed though (helps your radiator do its thing) And then have a sealed pipe feeding to the airbox from there.

xsspeed Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 But to do that I'd need to run a link or similar ecu yea? Due to stock relying on the MAF in the intake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Exactly what I was inferring. the engine type doesn't change the fact that the bottom of the windscreen is a high pressure area of non heated air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 For sure, dont need a bonnet scoop for it though edit: Never realised thats what those bonnet bulges do, thought it was just to give clearance for a high rise manifold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
