Arc Airbox-who's Got One?

[LTSJayce]

Hi all. I wont bore you on some of the words I used in the search engine to see if any of you lot has one of the fabled(and I'm led to believe very expensive) ARC airboxes,but I came up blank. So...who's got one? What's it fitted to? And does anyone have solid,proven info' either negative or positive about their flow rate,legality(will be involving an engineer to get everything passed anyhow),quality of fit(ease of fitting up,too) etc? Availablity of new elements? I'm not a fan of pods sucking in engine heat,and an enclosed box usually looks average,and no one whats to say they've dropped flow with their new bling box. So,the ARC looks pretty good...so far. A quick overview as to it's intended home: R32 GT-R,approx. 350 AWKW is the expected figure in the end.

So,now I've put it out there;what say you all?

P.S. I'm a bit bah,humbug about tomorrow's little religious gathering,so I'll just wish you all a nice day off if you get one,and keep everything nice and safe,'K?

i was looking for one for ages. but settled with a k&n hi flow panel ($80). i dont think the gains vs. cost is worth it imo. but hey everyone on this forum seems to be richer then me lol. damn money pit gtr's. arc boxes were $550 new from nengun last time i checked.

I have built a custom air box and intake...using a UniFilter. In the end I reverted to stock aitbox with hi-flow panel filter which not only makes it more stealth but is one less defect I need to worry about...

as for performance...I reckon my stockie is actually better now...eitehr way there is no real difference. My tune is at 270 rwkw atm

I have one

Had pods on it beforehand - those m's k&n ones.

The box is a lot quieter, but still makes a bit of sound

Compared to the standard box wih an s tune filter its slightly better, compared to the oem filter/box im sure it would be miles ahead - otherwise why make it?

You get what you pay for i guess

i have one in my 33. bigger cavity, great quiet intake sound compared to pods. reservations though as it sits pretty hi and close to the bonnet. thinking of modifying the stock snorkel to provide better and cooler airflow but havent gotten around to it. if money's an issue just get urself an apex hi flow pannel. the stock box is a very good setup in my opinion because of the snorkel intake. it just popped up on the forums for a good price and i snapped it up.

oh yeah it also makes the engine bay look pretty too!!

For nissan afm's you can't go past the Apexi' power intake pods and a (highly stressed) pod box with CAI set up!
