Standard Spec-S Owners - Pics of Intake Feed?

[jp]

I'm trying to redesign my intake & have heard the Spec-S' take the air from between the bumper & the front passenger arch liner?

I'm looking to see what the Spec-S intake feed for the air filter looks like & where it's positioned, preferably with the bumper off but any pics at all showing where the air goes in etc would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone have any pics like this at all?

Haven't seen it but that would make sense. If you don't have the WMIC then its perfect location

Anyone?

Does nobody on here own a standard Spec-S S15??

Ive seen S13 Silvia NA and basically the std airbox has an additional inlet from the arch. It runs to the airbox thro the hole where the WMIC pipework runs on the turbo'd cars.
Its easy to modify if you have a FMIC. Just get some flexiduct piping and run it from the front of the car (say behind the fog light) and up to the inlet thro the hole vacated by the std WMIC piping.
Ill see if I can find a pic of a similar setup

OK, this is my mates RS13.
You can see the additional pipe he's run into the inlet area.
He's also made a 'box' for the intake, to try and stop heat entering the induction area. Nice job :thumbs:

Nice cold-air box! Only question I have is though what happens when he goes through puddles or through a flooded road? Or spray from the car in front's hitting you?

Any pics of where the inlet on the S15 goes from the arch? Front or back facing?

 

[Matt_S]

Well, on Steves car ( the one in the pics) it goes into the side of the airbox so its quite a bit longer than it looks.
No pics of S15 bu I think the S13 NA one was side on.

You can just see the cold air feed on the side in this pic

Ahh very good - so it doesn't go up where the standard intercooler piping goes but comes into the engine-bay where the hot-pipe usually is, turns & goes back into the cold-air box?

No water/spray problems?

my s15 feeds air stright from the gard n the standard hole in the front bumper to the left of the car i dont have any water problems at all not even when it rains or if i smash through puddles, mine is a smialar design to the ca 180 in the pics but my filter is where the cold intake starts all most i can relay pics if u wants

This is an aftermarket intake box and intake chamber - but fits in standard stock location.

Thanks Elizium! :thumbs:

Yes that'd be great thanks cause I can't get any low-down angles of where it goes in or what the intake looks like.

Is it perforated at all to let any water that goes in, out?
