Hi,
I've found your thread an interesting read, although I have an older 4/4 with carb'ed CVH, which I have replaced the restrictive standard pancake and box with a Pipercross free flow, looks good, intake roar is nearly as loud as the exhaust! But the reason for me chipping in is, the old system took air from an opening next to the rad, about 2" dia, and ducted in. Is this feasible on your newer cars?

In fact Nick, that is just the problem with my injected Zetec engine It's a silvertop and the packaging is pretty rough and ready. My inlet duct starts about 4-6" behind the rad on the passenger side inner wing and runs aip to the bulhead where it decants into an air filter box ( ex MG Maestro, would you believe!) The runner is too long an I am convinced that it is giving turbulent flow which might be losing me a bit of power

PS I'm a cynic- I distrust intake roar as a measure of power!
