Following photographs of our prototype airbox/ram-air box that appeared in Kit Car magazine and in response to enquiries from several customers, here are some details on this new product (available in January/February 2010).
The airbox can be used either as a conventional airbox; mounted onto throttle bodies carbs via its universal base plate with an inline cone type filter fitted on the inlet or in a 'ram air' configuration; with the box fitted through the bonnet with the inlet facing the direction of travel, increasing intake air pressure. In this configuration the airbox would be fitted over the air filters (like the Pipercross or ITG) which it is designed to do perfectly.
The box itself will be made from 100% pre-preg carbon fibre, with a universal carbon fibre base plate which is supplied as a 'blank' ready to have holes cut into it to suit your throttle bodies or carbs. It is likely that we will be able to provide the base plate ready cut to accept the most popular throttle bodies (like Jenvey) to make installation even easier.
An additional inlet ring will also be available for those using the airbox in a 'ram air' configuration (mostly kit-cars with inline engine configurations). The ring, also made from 100% pre-preg carbon fibre will be available for around £20.

Prices and Availability
Until the base plate and inlet ring have been produced we cannot finalise the price of the airbox but expect it to be in the £175-£215 region for the complete set-up (excluding air filter).
