Julian H Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 On the Supersport Championship one of the engine upgrades is a cold air intake. I have a K XPower 140 (with the standard VVC manifold) and wonder why such an upgrade is not available for my, or other engines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Shelley Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 As a previous Elise owner I don't understand why cold air intake is not as important to the Seven K community, when it was a big deal with Lizzie owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted February 4, 2015 Member Share Posted February 4, 2015 There are/ were pictures of a fully ducted system in the archives. Was it from Uncle Fester?Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Stu Forshaw, occasionally of this parish, has cold air intake on his SLR, with an intake scoop under the radiator, and black hosing runing through the chassis to the airbox. Email him and ask for some picstures, Im sure he'd oblige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian H Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hithanks for the feedback gents. I have sent Unclefester a BM but don't seem to be able to send one to Stu Forshaw.

AdamQ Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I messed about with this for a Duratec a few years ago and concocted (read 'botched' as is all too plain from the pictures!) a cold air feed.I remounted the radiator a bit higher (and canted it back so it still fitted under the nose cone) and installed some ducting through an in-line filter up to a home-made airbox (which has now been replaced with something significantly smarter and more professional I'm pleased to say). I cut a letterbox hole in the nose cone below and behind the number plate (invisible without getting down to ground level and looking for it). FWIW ...
