lambertpig Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 having my hybrid fmic fitted today along with boost controller and fcd. the garage rung me up saying impossible to fit with airbox even as i said butcher airbox if need be .anyway i went to see and cooler looks great very purposefull. i insisted they mod the air box instead of going to induction kit.anyway my question is will airflow suffer with a smaller area airbox even if the pipe diameter is still same and both air feeds are clear. if i remember right the zzr1100 kawasaki bikes has a large presserized airbox for highspeed airlow is this the same principle.dont want to lose the box but dont wish to compromize airflow.i beleive another members airbox is ok done the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 The ZZR had ramair intake. The supra hasn't got really ramair in stock form - just cool air pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 The more power you make, the more volume the airbox needs to keep up without creating an excessive pressure drop. The stock supra airbox is quite generously proportioned (compared to other performance cars). How much smaller do you expect to make yours? Where will the volume be gone from? before or after the filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
