Think the air filter on the V8s is a flat panel in the airbox under the bonnet front? Does this draw air from the nose area in front of the rad or does it have a separate intake divided from the rad void? Anyone able to describe the layout please (and whether it is thought to work ok)?

Looking to do something similar on a Chim

Thanks, that's really helpful - any perceived issues with cooling being diminished by air being 'robbed' by the intake? I'm assuming the scoop is a separate part and not bonded into the shell? scratchchin

Cheers Matt - it's more the configuration and the effectiveness I was wanting to verify. Idea on mine was/is to accommodate the largest flat filter I could fit in that panel, with the space above being taken up with a CF removable enclosure/cover with a single 4 or 3.5 inch outlet to feed back and over the rad into the compressor inlet - there's loads of under-bonnet clearance and this just seems ideal to harness cool air and keep induction runs short. A few pics of the Cerb set up would be really handy as a reference.

In the first instance, I'm going to run mine with the in-bay fiter set-up just to get some data on air temps etc but this seems a no-brainer assuming I can get a suitable cover modelled and moulded.

Never had any cooling issues at all, the scoop doesn't take much of the frontal area and angles up into the air box well before the radiator so there is plenty of 'spill room' around it. The scoop is fitted to the shell with self tappers rather than being bonded in.
Thanks again; sounds perfect - want to plumb this in a bit more purposefully smile

No FMIC planned for the nose as there is a charge-cooler rad in there.

Do the scoops crop up for grabs at all?

Thanks - it's the scoop I was interested in getting hold of; will probably make my own box/cover
