I guess, but Rich made 540bhp with the same setup and the C38 charger can supply 600+bhp.
Mine is restricted to 454bhp because I wanted it to stay in one piece for more than 10 minutes, that's not its peak performance that it is capable of. With the high boosts it may be different because you're chasing 400bhp, and 400bhp is the supply rating of the C30 charger so you're trying to maximise the potential.

However, seeing as my filter is in the same location and can supply 540bhp (should it be desired) I don't see what you low boost guys are worrying about. The location of the filter is not restricting your potential performance. As for high boost, you could experiment if you so desired, but I seriously doubt you'll find much improvement, especially if you have a badge less grill.

Well what i have found is that my ca when starting from cold it starts right away and withou any problems. But once the car is up at 90°C and lets say you go to the gas station to fill it up it will struggle to start which I think is down to the location of the airfilter and the hot air inside the engine bay.

I personally think that there is a lot of room for improvement induction wise. So i came up with this little project of mine:

http://www.talkcomposites.com/8567/Hello-everyone

This dummy is a little to long so i will make a new one out of moulding foam and finally make it out of fibreglass and laminate it with carbon. The box has enough room to take the original K&N filter on the LB conversion. Still i have been thinking about adding a velocity stack to the filter element.

Last but not least some will notice that the design i made is open on the top. Why because it could either be closed with a foam core carbon sheet or with an opening to get air from outside into the box via one of these:

Unfortunately i lost my models that i had made in google SketchUp.

Any input will be greatly appreciated of

Will do just need to stop being a lazy f**k and start turning the ideas in reality and update my project thread as well

I know for a fact mines not perfect and it's far from it, either I have much higher standards than Stan or mine was thrown together.

Andy - I'm not saying it's absolutely perfect, although to be honest I can't see anything on it which I'd want to improve.
The car is faultlessly reliable, delivers the power I need/want, is always consistent and I don't suffer the issue of heat soak which some people claim they find a pain.

Having 'slightly' cooler air entering through the inlet is going to give you more power and *slightly* better throttle response. I find both of these are plentiful as they are and I don't see a 'need' as such to improve this. I'm sure you can, there must be endless possibilities for doing so, but really if 450bhp in a reliable 306 isn't enough, I'm struggling to think what else you would realistically want.

All I know is I'm happy with my package and improvements will be very minimal I'd think. However, good luck to those who try and find a better solution, there's always something which can be made better.

You'll probably achieve that with a new design from standstill, but I still have reservations whether or not it will make any difference once rolling especially if the grill is badge less.

Heres the rough idea of whatid planned for stillys low boost. As I say, I had all the nessersary dimensions but thats long gone. Cant see why it wouldnt improve things.

If I were you id make the scoop the inlet for a similar airbox to what ive drawn.

Be nice to see an improvement for something so simple.

Thin stainless was my plan. Was a thought for more power, not to stop heat soak. Id improve it during manufacture as I made it. Heat soak shouldnt be to bad as the baffle spaces it away from the engine anyhow. But could be made from anything. I just happen to have a lot of stainless at work

When we get a chance, im sure me and Armzs16 will fabricate something. Be nice to do a RR with and without the box to se a direct comparison. It'll be a while yet though before he starts the work going high boost.
