^^ Thanks for the reply guys.

Looking at installing a BA airbox in an AU. Can I use the same bolt holes ?? Or does it require some modifying ??

Can you buy the rubber sealing lip part for BA intakes separately? Mine was perished so I'd like to get a new one...if not, anyone want to buy a BA intake minus the rubber bit? :lol:

I'm pretty sure that all overhead cam 6 cylinder falcons run the same size from E to B not sure about F series. In regards to 'mouth' size anyway.


E series run a 64mm TB. 3" silicone will fit over it

B series run a 70mm TB. 3.5" silicone will fit over it

EF EL and AU get all their air from the bottom vent dont they? im not 100% on AU's tho

pod seems seriously oversized and pointless

I tried to keep my intake looking as standard as possible when looking at it from the top
I kept the top part of the original plastic intake & used fiberglass to make the rest of the plumbing fit around the supercharger & idler pullies. I Made it in sections that fit tightly & snugly together & are easily pulled apart to allow for me to change belts & pullies etc. Just before the main pipe connects to the air-box there is another intake that connects to the pipe-work which utilizes the gap between the left side of the radiator and the body. This setup sucks in a serious amount of cool air, but to the unedumacated viewer it just looks like the standard intake.
It's hard to see but there is also a Homemade Typhoon extension at the front of the air-box that sucks air from under the left headlight.
Cost: $15 bucks in materials & took about 3 hours to measure up & make. I have had heaps of request to make some more for others, but I'm afraid that I only intended to make two & the other one is on my xr6.
This a rough sketch because you cannot see it properly in the photos:
