A2A Supercharged Intake Options

takemorepills

The air intake of this SC is keeping me hesitant to buy this SC kit.

Could a person just hack the front radiator support to get a more open shot to the SC intake?

From what I see, there may not be much more that can be hacked in Post #10. Can't tell for sure, but looks like there is some material to be cut right next to the radiator/condenser....

I agree with Senna, don't let the intake stop you! I cut a bit away and did my own intake, as you can see from the pictures (Post 10 of this thread). I am working on finishing it still, but it seems pretty "janky", even though it won't look bad. The stock, non-Nismo bumper cover doesn't like an air filter of that size right there though, so it feels weird putting everything back together.

Bewhitey, another forum dude, 3D printed and posted the blueprints for an intake option, along with part numbers, so there's another option. His option required a little more cutting than I was comfortable with, which is whyI worked on my own solution. Follow this link: Topgunz - air to air upgrade

Optimiser worked wit a shop for his option (Post 3 of this thread)

There would be a solution by the time your filter got dirty enough to make a real difference, in my opinion. I haven't seen anyone do a "before and after cleaning" post or anything like that. I wouldn't be expecting dyno, but pressures would be nice.

My plan once I can get in there, is to go for a FULL 4" to 3.5" at the supercharger inlet, or at least a full 3.5" intake. The plan is to hollow out the hole as much as possible so that its surface area (which is in the shape of a rectangle) is equivalent to 3.5"/4" diameter circle with smooth transitions to 4" or 3.5" circle at each end... ready for an elbow or filter, with one extra something special. This is a rough idea of the most critical part. Will be using my 3D printer. PLA or NYLON with silicone couplers/sheets and steel zip ties for connecting the rectangular sections.
