I’d keep the bonnet smooth and do a VCM style OTR with an outlet on each end runing to each airbox. You’ve spent so much time and effort in keeping the car looking stock, I think it’d ruin it by putting some kind of scoop on it

Like this

What about just simple vents in top of the bonnet where the air box sections are. Not a raised scoop.

 

Yeah thats was what I was thinking too.

You drove past me on chapel street on the weekend.  Thing looks and sounds amazing

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

Ah yes now it makes sense great images in my eyes.. Hardest bit will be trying to make it look decent I suppose. Will you retain the bonnet liner just cut it?

Great thinking should keep the temps into the intake down. If it works well enough might even be able to touch up the tune and get more out of it.  Does it get very hot in the bay now?

I reckon getting it cnc’d from billet would be fairly costly?

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

you thinking cnc or cast?

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

So plans to paint the wagon gloss like the statesman?

[sands vsParticipant vs commodore View build HERE Member since: March 1, 2015 Posts: 619]

This car is so good on so many levels. I cant believe they still pop up in this condition. Didnt ever consider the ls swap?

If it helps any I got these guys to quote a 3d scan on a inter-cooler plate that sits under a supercharger they quoted $412. But gives you an idea of that part price wise.

I dont know the cost of having it cnc they dont do it

 

 

 

 

 

“Hi ,

Many thanks for sending the images.

The part looks like it should scan well and we should be able to convert it into a .iges dummy solid for you to import into a CAD application.

 

Please see attached for a quote. We have a full schedule this week – bu if you can get the part to us we could scan it for you next Monday.

 

Just let me know if you have any questions.
