hybrid intakes

[jdm92_accorn]

has anyone on here tried a hybrid intake kind of like this

i see it alot on spoon sports cars and i did a little research. with the factory air box and high flow panel filter it increases the throttle response dramatically. im wondering if anyone has dynoed a factory air box with k&n filter before.

what the ARC kind? idk if i seen it on a CB on this site.

not necessarily arc, just aluminum piping and the stock air box with k&n filter. im planning on modifying the stock air box a little and building a ram air tube. i wan the benefits of a lower iat without restricting flow. i also wanted to point out that the factory air box acts as somewhat of a dynamic air chamber. im going to experiment with this and see what it does. im telling you spoon wouldnt put a factory airbox on a performance engine that turns 10k plus if it hurt performance that much.

The stock inlet tubes on at least a CB are restrictive.

That said, IMO, companies like Spoon and Mugen are on the right track with their intakes.

I have taken several stock airboxes and opened them up by installing larger inlet pipes, a panel filter and then running the stock rubber tube to the throttle body.

I like this setup, because it allows a lot more flow than a stock airbox, keep intake temps in check, gives a large volume of air to flow on throttle tip in (the airbox is essentially a reservoir) and it keeps the intake stock sounding. I have a 3" inlet into mine right now, and at everything other than high load and full throttle/high RPM's it sounds just a little bit throatier than stock. No heat soak issues, no hydrolock issues, and isn't loud all the time. I can also just use stock filters.

i get way more torque with my f22b with a stock box than any intake setup. id like to know more about this.

No. That does not modify the inlet to the airbox. Mine would be reverse of that. Everything going from the bumper to the airbox is modified, but the inlet tube is stock.

I have pictures of it in my MR thread.

thats nice take of your silencers. itll be louder

see this is exactly what i was talking about.
this is the plan
fill in here

cut here and fill

cut here

and install this

and maybe finish it off with a velocity stack somewhere

Sorry to bring this back from the dead but wanted to know how it turned out?
