RaseR Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone has bought & tried the cold air induction snorkel advertised on the UAS website to suit R32/33 GTS-t (pictured below). I want to keep my factory S2 R33 airbox and I'm wondering if it's additional to the existing airbox snorkel or a replacement, and either way does it make a difference??? At $250 it'd want to be pretty good! Let us know your opinions. Thanks!

dezz Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 hmmm kind of looks like its designed to be additional to the factory snorkel, and come up from underneath the airbox...

Craved Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 hmmm kind of looks like its designed to be additional to the factory snorkel, and come up from underneath the airbox... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> looks like that to me too, would only be useful if you had the "across the front" IC piping and no factory air box.

nizmokid Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 well make your own.....easy just get a 3inch 90 degree PVC pipe bend and a metre of 3inch pipe and make your own. also a funnel for the bell end. measure and fit. and spray black for stealth look. will Have to take a photo of it sometime. Was cheap to do as I had the parts lying around. wouldn't of costed any more them say $40 if you needed to buy all the parts!

Bunta Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 hmmm kind of looks like its designed to be additional to the factory snorkel, and come up from underneath the airbox... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If it comes in from the bottom of the factory box it will by pass the filter Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/105983-uas-cold-air-snorkel-for-r33-25t/#findComment-1953650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaseR Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hi Guys, Thanks for the responses! Sounds like it might be worthwhile making my own - nizmokid, it'd be awesome if you could take some pics of your setup so I've got a starting point!

nismo_au Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) Im a bit confused RaseR, how are you going to keep the existing airbox and use the air feed from below? As said by Bunta, feeding from below the airbox (and would need modifications to the air box) will by-pass the filter. What ideas have you got for ducting the air in with the second snorkel so it will pass through the filter while retaining the stock airbox? What your suggesting only looks like it will work if your using a pod filter I would think. EDIT: Also if you still running the stock IC the return pipe will be taking a lot of the room to play with below the air box. It looks like to me the UAS pipe feeds up to the hole where the stock return intercooler pipe would have been if your running an aftermarket intercooler whose return pipe goes over the engine/fan. I don’t think I have explained that very well, I hope that makes sense. Unless someone has an idea how to make it work?

RaseR Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 hey nismo_au, Actually you've raised some good points - I'm more familiar with the setup in the R32 where you can actually set up a cold air feed that comes from beneath the filter, but the R33 airbox is quite different (upside down?!) so same principles don't apply! I'm sure the stock snorkel is adequate, it's way better then the one on the R32. I think you're right, the uas snorkel looks like it should feed down into the hole where the stock IC pipes would be, if you had a front mount (non-return style - with piping going past the radiator fan).

Kennedy Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Looks like it's only suitable for a POD/FMIC combo. I'm assuming it go's where the stock SMIC go's?
