New ram-airbox design (F1 Carbon)

Vic @ F1 Carbon is helping to design an air box design around a custom oversize Subaru intercooler intake (45cm x 10cm) which will then feed into a tapered air box, which will in turn house a ram air cone filter. The scoop will be centrally roof mounted and made entirely of carbon.

Downsides will be the reduced visibility; but the rear hatch proved rear visibility would be severely restricted in any case. The final rear hatch will be cut to fit around the central feed.

The air box should ensure a strong constant air pressure which will rise at speed to feed the increased breathing required by the engine.
