My GTT currently has the following

Stock turbo

Greddy Profec OLED boost controller set to 10psi

Blitz FMIC

HKS mushroom filter

3" exhaust from downpipe back no centre box (only back box) 

The air filter element needs changing soon as its coming up for its service. I've found a Blitz Induction cover with airbox for sale and I'm a magpie when it comes to parts you don't usually see (always wanted an Arc box but they're not available for the GTT?) 

A quick google shows the induction cover is for the GTR, the seller said it was removed from a GTT. The filter element part number lists the GTT so it must be an OK fit

(sorry for the long read) 

My question is, with the snorkal removed, will the filter get sufficient air flow?

I would be surprised if the GTT and GTR items were the same ...possibly the GTR item was modified to suit the GTT. Have you studied the photos? Is there anything about it that makes you think it will improve air flow rather than raise the temperature of the incoming air? Oops - see you have already exchanged your snorkel for a mushroom!

Either way I guess the difference will be marginal.

Hopefully someone can identify the airbox to confirm. 

The car came with the mushroom filter and the snorkal cable tied on. I know the snorkal won't attach to anything but I guess it'll help flow some air.

I had the same cover, thinking it would be good from a legality point of view. No performance improvement, tiny increase induction noise, and worst of all a rather noticeable performance drop on hot days. Don't bother

They did make ARC boxes for the GTT, I've got one!

    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
