had my 1992 wrx on the rolling road yesterday and it ran 296bhp and 296 lbft torque at 1.1 bar . with a blowing manifold ,with the following mods just thinking if i would get a little bit more out of it with the standard air box and a good panel filter

japspeed turbo back exhust 3inch and bell mouth
boost controller/ turbo timer
apr fuel pressure gauge
walbro 255 pump
japspeed headers
td05 turbo
induction kit
polar performance ecu chip

ngk 7 plugs
bugeye intercooler and tray

This is a piccy of one that Harvey makes

ha ha sorry been a long day. may have a go at making one or try find one on fleebay that i can make fit

IIRC Harvey makes a template out of cardboard,then uses carbon fibre wrapped in heat reflective material.

Think this is his template (may be wrong though)



Not the best piccy as it's blurry.

It may be easier to use the standard airbox but if you've got the time give it a go.

could i take the resonater box off or will the cause me lots of running problems

myblackwrx

Depends which IK you have ,i have an Apexi one which has a metal tube that the relative hoses attach to. i'm not sure if any others do.

i see yep will it gain me a few bhp if i take the box off


and yes it really is rusty

That's not good i'm guessing it's a Blitz one or a copy?

andywiddss1

iTrader: (4)

iv had it off and there are no markings on it ect so a copy im thinking

need to get a new one really was very surprised with the rolling road results at 296bhp was thinking it would be about 270/280 bhp

what filters are best apexi and blitz

myblackwrx

iTrader: (1)

Apexi and K+N ,imo BUT if you're not going the fmic way possibly better just to refit the airbox and good panel filter as it will save you having to spend about £100ish on a new IK.
Results are good as i expect it's quite chilly up north.

Or you could wait till it gets warmer then have it rolling roaded again and see the what results you get.

was bloody chili on sunday yes ha ha

thanks for the help when u took the resonator box off did it feel different to drive ect

myblackwrx

Wouldn't say particularly different or noticeable to drive tbh but it's in a better position than any of the other IKs you can buy (i.e. basically the same position as the standard airbox).
only thing really is a bit more induction noise
