Fitting RS2 airbox to 3B, what do I need?

[Jonas_R]

Well,

Iam in progress of getting an RS2 airbox, but I was wondering if I need anything else then the airbox it self?

I am fitting it to my 3B, so just wandering if it is straight swap?

You need a new inlet box holder

Part number 8A0 805 962G

Oki thanks.

I have a RS2 box on my 3B, fitted without any mods (but without the air guiding plastic bits).

Thats what that part is, for £10 to do it properly it's worth it.

FWIW - I run without the "box" behind the headlight on a standard ABY S2 coupe airbox. I cannot explain why it should be better, but it is. More torque at low speeds and generally crisper. I know all about CAIs, but for my car it just aint so. Maybe the cool flow over the airbox is worth more than the " supposedly" cooler air from the front of the car. At one point I thought the WGFV was being affected by sitting hard against the sliding panel ( I even butchered one to avoid this and testing still showed it was better without). I have also removed the piece Jamo is describing ( with the cut out for the airbox intake horn ). It just looks a bit "naff" when the bonnet is up...

Agree, but couldn't find the part in E**A earlier. 8A0 805 962G is the bit with the 100mm opening, but some more plastic stuff might be needed http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthr...t=8A0+805+962G page 2 a bit down. I even saw a pic with some kind of air guiding a bit lower.
It would be nice to se pics of the complete ducting on a standard RS2, list of part numbers would be great

Thats a very old post since then it's accepted you only need the one part.

I've put an RS2 airbox on 2 S2's now and you only need the air guide the 2nd part is the same on the S2 as the RS2.

If you want to buy the other bits be my guest

Right, I am thinking of changing over to an RS2 airbox. What exactly is needed, bearing in mind I currently have nothing diverting the air to my current ABY box?

Would anybody be able to tell me exactly what is needed along with part numbers?

The part number is in my post above plus an RS2 airbox

[Robatron]

Move along, nothing to see here!

Does that include the trumpet next to the headlight the diverts air to the box though?

[Jamo]

The trumpet is physically a part of the RS2 box.

[Robatron]

Maybe I'm not getting my point across or perhaps I am having a real dim moment this morning!

I currently have an ABY airbox sat in my car. It has a hole in the front of it but with no pipes, no box sat behind the headlight, and no trumpet (for want of a better word) directing air towards the non existant box behind the headlight.

So, am I right to assume that all of these some with the RS2 airbox so as I can have some decent airflow directed through it, or do I need to order these seperately.

I think I need to go back to sleep soon....it was too hot to sleep last night and I'm like a zombie today!

[Jamo]

Hmm must be me as I still dont get what your driving at do you mean you have'n't got parts 35 & 35a?





Airbox, you have an inlet trumpet on the box, then an air guide that holds the trumpet in place and a side deflector to the right of the drivers side light.

[Robatron]

Nope I havent got parts 35 or 35a, nor do I have deflector next to the light, or any tubes that direct air into the airbox. I have an airbox with a hole in it and thats all!

Once I get my hands on an RS2 airbox I shall got all the neccessary components just so long as I can find part numbers for everything I need.
