Engine questions?
There's also something beneath this that isn't shown in this photo that has me stumped! Anyone have a photo or illustration that shows what's what in the brz engine? Sent from my iPhone |

It's part of the air intake, ie more volume for the front side of the air box. I think it helps equalize the air available, as the engine rpm's vary, and cause pulses in the air being sucked into the intake.

Yep, and also adds to reduce intake noise.

Apparently it's just an acoustic box for the sound that goes into the cabin. Wonder what the bollock is though?

Question number 2,
CAI and Short ram doesn't have that. Is it better or worse with that part that @LWAA mentioned?

Thanks. I hate to admit it but googlemonster does have its uses. But it does help if you know what to search for. I tried for a while but didn't use the right words I guess! Sent from my iPhone |

I've been completely lost searching for things, and tried every imaginable word combination, but still gotten nowhere.
