The S14 Carbon Airbox is made of 100% carbon fiber including the internal intake runners. This is the large version DTM type plenum with > 15l capacity and long runners. Intake runner geometries are available to work with 46, 48, 49 and 50 mm throttle bodies. There is also a special version for 50 mm S38 (M5) throttle bodies which incorporates a special mounting flange integrated into the airbox. The airbox is to be used in conjunction with an Alpha N type of engine management. A CF snorkel matching the particular airbox version is included (except in the case of a 2002 M2, where a snorkel is not used). An installation kit with all necessary hoses, brackets, clamps, splices, throttle cable bracket, etc. is included. It is possible to operate this airbox with a stock ICV (idle control valve), oil separator, and stock master brake cylinder/power booster. If you have a single master cylinder, then you need the brake reservoir relocation kit. If you have a dual master cylinder setup (race car), then you do not need the relocation kit. The airbox is available for fitment with an external air-filter, via an optional CF air filter housing. Note, that the optional air filter housing is only available for non-AC cars. If you have an AC equipped car, then you need to use an alternative air filter. The crankcase ventilation hose from the oil separator can be attached to one of the air ports on the bottom of the airbox. Alternatively, you can block the air port and install a breather filter on the oil separator breather hose. If you wish to delete the oil separator altogether, then you can use the optional crankcase ventilation catch tank. The airbox utilizes tuned intake runners and larger plenum volume (Helmholtz resonance) to effect a power gain. The engine will have a more aggressive intake note and a better throttle response. The airbox works particularly well with uprated cams. The S14 CF airbox is available for E30 M3, 2002 M2, or any other chassis powered by an S14 engine.

Range Rover Evoque launches in China – Hello Beijing
Wed, 09 Nov 2011Range Rover Evoque launches in Beijing Land Rover may have bit of a shortage of parts for the new Range Rover Evoque, which is reportedly causing some delays for UK Evoque deliveries, but they’re still pushing on with launching the Evoque across the world. And this week it’s China, with the tag line ‘Hello Beijing’ attached to the launch. Last week Land Rover were out in India to launch the Evoque, with the Indian market getting the full range of Evoque models – that’s coupe and five-door with a choice of TD4 and SD4 diesels and the Si4 Ecoboost petrol.
Is this a Fiat 500T for the US? (video)
Tue, 17 Jul 2012It’s rumoured a Fiat 500T is about to launch in the USA, and we perhaps have the first look in a new Fiat 500 commercial. Even though we’re living in a car world that’s more global in its offerings than ever before, there are still significant differences between offerings in different markets. The Fiat 500 in the US offers an Abarth in its range, but just so the colonials don’t get confused it’s badged as the Fiat 500 Abarth rather than Abarth 500.
Tesla Model S turns in to Jaguar XF
Mon, 06 Jun 2011Jaguar XF - or is it a Tesla? Tesla seem convinced – or at least they’re doing all they can to convince the public – that the Tesla Model S is a soon to be reality, despite all in the industry saying they can’t deliver what they are offering – a high-end, luxury, high-spec sports saloon with a 300 mile range – for the sort of money they claim. That money – as we learned recently – is to be $69,500 for the Tesla S with the 300 mile battery, a price that’s had many scratching their heads over how Tesla can stick enough laptop batteries in the Model S to go that far, and how they can do it at a price that’s a good thirty per cent less than the ‘Lotus-with-batteries’ Tesla Roadster.
