vr/vs airbox tops???

[VL Berlina 5speed]

was just reading a thread on calaisturbo about the custom CAI (under box 2 front bar) and i read this intreasting post

have u guys heard about using the later models top of the air boxes vr vs, don't know about vt and after series, my bro was reading how they flow 10%-20% better than the vl ones, and the connect to all the vl piping? just wondering if anyone has done this and noticed any difference?

the reason i am asking is because no one evert awnser hes question and im intreaged by it too

i don't think it would fit under the bonnet would it? they have the same filter from memory upto VS, from VT on it is different, so the other dimensions are right except possibly height.

You can use either the Series II VS or early (VN/VP) SV type air box lids. I have attached pics of the two. They both flow alot better then the factory one.

prob they are the 5 litters, and the piping is two much of a angle to get a bendin hose on it
i might try swapping with my old mans box to to see if it fitts,

but has any1 hered about the flow being beta

you'd also have to try and mount the AFM differently.

That second pic of airstrikes is a HSV vs airbox top which I was gonna use, planned to turn the whole airbox 90 degrees so the top points in the right direction and use the normal method for VL CAI (pipe from underneath).

Its bound to flow better, look at the shape of it.

Second one aint a HSV one Chris. Its was on the Series II VS. Its based on the HSV one in the other pic.
There is no better flowing V6 one you could use.

When I'm at my girlfriend's place next I'll try and fit the air box top from my VP onto her VL, I'll let you know how I go. And yes, the V8 air box tops won't fit, but maybe the VN-VS V6 ones might.

[STEALTHY™]

The still fit. Those fittings are just Bolted on with Allen Keys, so you can change the Elbow to the opposite way, and bolt it up as normal.

[fazz1977]

Sounds right to me.

vs2 air box's dont look like that, we have oen sitting in our driveway and it doesnt look liek that, vs series 2 berlina all origional

[ucwepn]

get a pic for us, maybe the S/C statesman box is different from NA?

[fazz1977]

Any V6 airbox from the VN to the VS looks exactly the same. Same as the VL one but taller. Still not big enough for me though, I'm going to try to fit a VY SS box to my VP. More air I say!!!

[fazz1977]

Ok, I pulled the air box out of my VP, compared it to the one in the VL, same air box except for the plumbing going to the intake. The VN-VS one is significantly larger, but the VL plumbing bolts straight in.
