MTM airbox

[twoqu]

Has anybody got any info/pics on the MTM airbox. The RSR used one and so did Kim Collins Cab. I think I have seen one other on an Avant at Castle Combe one year.
You can just see it in the botom of the picture. Unfortunately thats the best picture I can find!

I am talking about the airfilter housing. Obviously a nice bit of carbon, but was wondering how it functioned.

Are you talking about the carbon shield that covers the cone filter? Like this?

[twoqu]

Yep!
Just trying to figure it out. Reading between the lines there is something mentioned about an intake trumpet.
So is that just a covering, however funky, for a regular cone filter?
I thought it might owe more to the method used in the RR 20V UR where the air is picked up from inside the inner wing.

You can buy a 'replica' at PKM in Germany:

So that's what it is! Been looking a PK website and wondering what that is!

why not just shove the filter down the front if you dont have aircon.


i dont and my filter sits down there

[twoqu]

Oh well it does seem to be just a fancy shield! Another of lifes mysteries debunked!
Does look nice though!
Thanks for the replies!

yes it's like that. However I am not too sure about how much cold air it will suck in from the front . I had the PKM piece in my hand 2 months ago and how it looks like it would only suck cold air from the side where it is placed against the side/wheel.
Maybe it's made for air side-duct?

You're correct. The wheel well must be cut so the cold air can be pulled in (not to mention to create space for the filter) from behind wheel well.

[twoqu]

I guess that makes more sense. Doesen't look like the MTM car has any vents in the wing to feed cold air. So effectively its sealing off the engine bay and pulling air through the wheel well. Makes sense.
I wonder if the oblong intendation is for the maf!

Have you actually seen this or have pictures to back this up?

hi guys,

hope these pictures will help:









The SQ air flow meter and the pipe is from that MTM Car. I´ve bought some parts out of it . Sadly the exhaust manifold was sold when i came there, but i could luckily get the intake manifold, intercooler, crossmember, and the sq airflowmeter for a really good price.

the carbon-fibre piece is only a hiet-shield. nothing more. the air filter is in the tyre "housing". don´t know the word for it.

if there are any people interested in these heat-shields tell me. I could probably get those parts rebuild in the same shape and the carbon-fibre for a smaller price than the MTM one was.

cheers

if there are any other questions ask.

[Jamo]

Brilliant!!! have you got a pic showing the filter in position without the carbon cover?

That's the big thing I need to see please
