Default Ultimate Airbox MOD'd

What do you think?





I added this today. Do you think it will suffer heat soak? Can you think up of any negative effects of this? Let me know what you think. Thanks.

There's something growing on the side of your airbox, i think you need to go check it out.

If the tentacles are going to where I think they are, I believe it ought to help.

that opening located at the bottom WILL draw the air from the radiator, BUT theres also a fan there. From what i undertand the air from the fans arent hot. However there still might be a slight chance of heatsoak.

That's what I was thinking when I added it. It sucks in air from behind the fan. If the fans are running, then air behind it is not hot. Let's hope we're right!

the fans aren't always going to be running though. Your still going to suck in hot air from there anyway. The wierd tentacle things are a god idea if you route them to the front to create some kind of ram air effect, but the other thing is just going to be sucking up all the heat in the engine bay.

Any cold air from "up front" should work well. Be careful about letting that air out as fast as it comes in, though.
