Benyon Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 My question is on most vauxhalls you can drill the airbox on the side facing the inner wing to get a good sound without putting an induction kit on and slowing the car down. Can this be done on supra's? Ive just bought a TOM's panel filter but i would like some more noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 An iduction kit would suit your required tastes a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyon Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yes but it would drag in too much hot air i dont want that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yes but it would drag in too much hot air i dont want that. You can fit a sheild like many others have done. I use the apexi kit with a stock top radiator cold air feed and only time it affects me is after being stuck in traffic but only lasts a second after pulling away.

Gaz6002 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yes but it would drag in too much hot air i dont want that. So will drilling holes in the airbox though. The airbox is ducted with cold air feeds which will work a lot better than your holes. It's quiet for the same reason. Why don't you look at getting a bigger exhaust instead?

Benyon Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 I wanted engine noise over exhaust noise. If you drilled small holes on the boxed side facing the wing then there isnt going to be much warm air getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Are you proposing to drill the holes before of after the air cleaner element? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Apexi with a heat shield if you want induction roar, i would figure the Supra (tt im guessing) engine bay is a somewhat hotter place than most all Vauxhall's, 2 turbo's causes a lot of heat, i would figure those holes will pull in hot air yes cooler than the otherside but still hot.

Benyon Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 I asked a simple question that should have got a simple answer, On migweb which is vauxhall's best forum they say to do this as a cheap mod to get a better sound without losing the hp you would with a normal induction kit. As for these "funny" comments if your trying to offend me you will need to try alot harder. Sounds like a very good forum this you put up a question which requires a short simple answer, then you get people trying to make offence over the internet "the place you can call people and get away with it".
