My problem
You could plumb 2 separate intake tubes to the turbos then run a series 6, 7 or 8 RX7 or from a JC Cosmo coz they run twin turbos and being a rotary need a not of air flow, but not sure how water tight they are OR make your own if your game enough.
I'm planning of slapping one together but not sure what type of filter i'm going to run...
i have no idea what im really looking at but could the outlet of the turbos (thats the single larger pipe higher than the rest??) be aimed towards the intake side? That is unless your intercooling it? In that case is there enough clearance to aim the pipe straight up? like i said, i have no effen idea what im even looking at lol
That's the intakes for the turbos Lucas. You could do as 007 said but I can't see to many issues there. Maybe cut and slim the front inlet around so they both point forward.
the intakes are the two smaller pipes? Do they have to point forward or could the airbox be where the coil is at the moment?
Yeah the outlets will be running straight to a front mount as low as possible but cant start fabbing them up until i decide on an air box. Look at my build up more pics there. This is why i was thinking a patrol docta box because one
90 bend and your in. If that box will fit there. Other option is turn the intake over and do a loop back around and i can run whatever airbox i want but it will be ugly that way.:confused:
This maybe getting a bit of topic but very interesting reading for those looking at alternative intakes http://www.patrol4x4.com/forum/nissa...-option-85692/.
More on topic is anyone running "re-purposed" intakes from other cars or custom air-boxes? When I saw this thread pop up I was hoping someone would say the air box from xxxx is a perfect fit takes a panel filter and flows real good, we could all then got to the wreckers and pick one up real easy :). So far it seems there aren't many out of the box options other than the common ZD30, and mainstream custom boxes like the Patrol Docta and Mill Weld examples which look great but are pretty pricey.
In my travels I have come across the below which shows a LS1 airbox I guess out of a commodore and a massive land cruiser airbox which uses a round filter element and a lot of room.
