"The Confines of the Engine Compartment"

I don't mean to complicate the issue, but it reminds me of the stock airbox/ramair setup of the S5 RX7.
It seems to me that if none of the fast RX7 guys utilize these stock parts, it probably isn't worthwhile.
What I do know is that we toyed with it, and we determined that its volume flow restriction would likely
outweigh any possible (and doubtful) pressurized advantage

In this case, this intake was included on a Miata driven by an extremely talented driver (I'm almost certain - Price). I never would have protested him because he could drive circles around me and I would have known it sure as heck wasn't the intake.

Andy - what's your take on the performance of that intake versus say an ISC?

Go back and look again, you missed something.

The rules are pretty clear about no 'ram-air' and this would put the air intake into an area of higher pressure than it would normally have in it's stock location. You have to remove the plastic trim for it to work.

Two strikes, you're out.

Agreed. No plastic piece and no air intake there? Cool (IMO). No plastic piece AND intake there? Too far.

Now I need to go find one of those plastic pieces. Agree with Andy on using it to keep temps down.

ok Steve ... we still have the parts ... six pack of lager for some hints?

PM me and I will send you a picture.
