I wouldn't imagine you will as a local guy just changed injectors and ran 18lbs of boost on e85...turbo but still comparable demand on fuel.

The car is "tuned" by delicious tuning, the car seemed to run pretty good but after looking at the logs he sent a revision and it seems to be worse, We may need Bill to relook at it. This was one of the first few C38's he did so he may have come a long way since then.. a different BRZ that thats turbo'd put 277 to the wheel, completely embarrassed the supercharged BRZ.. we also have injectors, pump and smaller pulley to add to the C38 now and run e85

Question: Does anyone make a nostril that can be cut into the bumper to get air into the filter?
My IATs down here in MX are ridiculous.

What's the ambient temperature in Mexico and what's your IAT right now? It wouldn't make any difference if both are the same temps.

TmP · 08-27-2014, 07:52 PM

IATs got as hot as 165 F.
Ambient is closer to 110...

While you were moving or while sitting at grid?

TmP · 08-27-2014, 11:41 PM

Right after a 20 minute track session.

IAT should be the same as ambient temperature while you're moving. If you stop, you will heat soak and the IAT will rise. Considering the KW claims it's a cold air intake, this kind of moots their point. You can just cut the bumper and put a tiny scoop to funnel the air directly to the air filter and wrap the piping with gold DEI tape like what Cem did.

I know I can cut a hole, my question was, if there is a good looking solution out yet?
If there is, I'd make sure the dimensions I cut fit whatever nostril may be available

Edit: I know the 350Z has one available...

Might just try these...

Look at Ken Gushi's setup. It looks like the 350Z.

I think I'm going with Seibon FA hood to deal with the engine bay heat issue. Side note Oil cooler kit ready for install. As you can see the hose are now pre-assembled and just wondering if I still need to clamp the lines. I think I'll visit my local Parker Store tomorrow.

Are you planning to add a thermostat as well? This will be my next mod but since the season is almost over I might postpone it for a while

TmP · 08-28-2014, 09:34 AM

I have a home grown oil cooler kit using the KW sandwich.
Not a big fan of their choice on placement and hoses...
The sandwich is a billet work of art though!

Need to check out Ken's car. BRB

Edit: Don't seem to find a pic of Ken's FRS with a nostril... Got a link?
