I really want to put my old airbox back on (getting tired of the pod filter noise), the only problem is the snorkel doesn't fit becuase of the intercooler piping, is there custom airboxes i can buy? or even something to enclose my pod into as my pod is behind my front bar at the moment and i'm just a bit scared of too much water getting sucked up.

thanks

I made the factory snorkel fit by cutting it to fit around the cooler piping and then plastic welding (with a soldering iron :) it actually worked pretty well) a sheet of plastic over the hole, then made a partition with an inlet for the snorkel. The partition seals pretty well against the chassis and the bonnet and I also have a cold air feed from the front bar to the factory IC piping hole.

Will take pics tomorrow when the camera batteries have charged.

I used a file and filed out my old cooler piping hole for my cold air induction then added some pvc piping shaped like an L, maybe u could cut a hole bottom of ur standard airbox let in cold air that way and piss the pod off prob get good performance out of it. My thoughts newaiz..:)

Only problem with that is there would be nothing filtering the air before it hits the AFM. The filter panel in the factory box sits above the AFM.

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
