Just looking through the race gallery.....
Can anyone tell me what the pipe at the bottom of the pic is? I suspect its some kind of induction kit, but it doesnt seem to be attached to anything??

You're right. It's a pipe feeding cooler air to the front of the intake bells, would be as effective as a bonnet scoop without having to cut the hole.
Must have a big budget though, running no air cleaners they'd want to be pulling the motor down after every few meets.

Cold air intake pointed towards the trumpets Smile
Very nice engine, I wonder whether we can get our hands on one of those (or a bunch) over here Wink

thought so......cheers
after seeing that, i have realised how friggin easy would be to make an induction kit like that. Went to the wreckers today and had a look at a few different snorkel kits for fourbys, they look friggin perfect. That flexible ducting would be an even easier option.

Yeah, you'd want a big budget... all it would take is the car in front dropping a wheel onto the dirt and you'd have a free self rebore.
