It sure looks like this box can be fabricated to seal for boost . That would be insane!!!

Whats the loss in hp and/or tq with the box added? I would imagine this probably creates an interesting amount of turbulance to the air around the ITB and would alter the ultra sensitive lower rpm band.

 

[ScienceofSpeed]

The composite air box is not designed for pressure, its wall strength will not hold up.

This is still in development, performance numbers will be available soon.

Chris unrelated question but do you sell those aluminum clamps that are holding the moton cannisters?

Chris, just brainstorming here...but would it be possible to relocate the alternator (like your supercharger application), and have another intake pipe on the passenger side vent?

Yes, but I think that would block the hole on the right side. We've done quite a bit of datalogging, and the intake on the left side adds no intake restriction.

Will these fit under the engine cover?

 

[ScienceofSpeed]

Sorry, the individual throttles are taller than the engine cover. They will not fit under it.
