Cold air feed
I am missing the front cold air feed off my airbox in my TF. Does anyone know what diameter the hole is? I don't want to take the engine cover off just to measure it but if I have to I will!

Re: Cold air feed
Errr I did measure this a while ago and I assume you mean the one near the back of the engine bay as the the one nearer the front of the car seems to have a special collar that allows it to fit?
The O/d of the elbow the protrudes from the rear is 55mm or thereabouts, I think it is 56mm exactly - I only know this as I'm going to be buying some 55mm I/d aluminium ducting to go to the N/s Vent and recall having to get the ducting 1mm smaller that I needed which isn't an issue

Re: Cold air feed
Hi no I mean the front one which faces the passenger seat. Looking at an exploded view it seems there should be an angled pipe with a trumpet on which goes down towards the bottom of the car. I have measured the hole and it appears to be 65mm internal diameter. I was hoping I might be able to get some pipe to go between the N/S vent and the airbox.

Re: Cold air feed
Yeah there is an angled pipe as you say with some rubber retaining flaps on it that hold it into the hole you refer to - I debated a similar idea but decided that I'd get cold air from the N/s vent to the rear intake hole and I just redirected the OE pipe on the front of the box to the bottom of the car - I'll try find the picture for you

Re: Cold air feed
It's dark down there so hard to get good pictures I am sorry to say but you can see the black intake hose strapped to the subframe
