We have a new product for the FG 6cyl both N/A and Turbo models

we have worked out the modifications required to fit the FG V8 air intake & air box into a 6cyl car.

The V8 box & snorkle is HUGE compared to the std ones and offer much better airflow.

The whole set up still looks like its been factory fitted.


pricing for the air cleaner box & modified intake snorkle is $150 plus postage.

we have a few more mods & accessories planned, we will post up pics as they happen.


pics of the new system.

the std snorkle compared to the V8 one

a small depression is made in the snorkle to clear a water pipe.

the finished product, the top of the snorkle has been modified to clear the 6cyl bonnet. still looks like a factory fit.

I don't think it'd be worth the effort unless you have done the mod of the 2nd intake running up just in front of the intake snorkel...just my guess though.

Yeh if it fits in the BA it'll fit in the AU and EF/EL engine bay.
Phong's right tho, to get any gain youd need 3" piping eg BA or custom made.

we think the mesh might make it quieter. we are going to experiment with cutting it out of 1.

the secondary BF typhoon intake will not fit into these boxes . the inlet pipe is to big.

we took the mesh out of one fitted to the BA XR8 , It gave it a lot better induction sound. It sounds like a V8 now!

it will fit with some cutting to the top of the snorkle.
rather give a kw increase it will give better throttle response
