[LS1] Otr

Is it just me or does that eBay one block a crap load of flow to the rad? I'd also imagine that stuck in traffic on a hot day the plastic would get really hot.

I dont understand how it could block flow to the radiator?

Looking at this pic:

The rad gets flow via both sides of the reo. Now there's a solid plastic box in front taking the upper reo flow through the intake, away from the rad. Looks like at least the top third/half (centre) of the rad isn't getting direct flow.

If that were the case ramjet would be out of business.

Ive also found the otr intake the alloy ones " if you have a lumpy cam tend to rub against air con rad and make holes

Looks like VCM have a new VT-VZ otr, made of plastic with a bigger filter. Can also retain MAF. Looks like a better design than the old alloy one which is IMO over rated.

That looks much nicer.

CAPA are now selling the X-Air OTR which is a very similar design as well. I believe the X-Air was first on the market though (albeit in NZ).

Hi i bought one of these of ebay a few months ago fitted it on a vx ss . Total pain to fit then found i could not close the bonnet.looked cheap couldnt get the filter to stay in place ended up using duct tape to secure the filter frame in place. piece of crap total waste of money and effort junked it and fitted a mace alloy otr (vcm i assume) top quality fits nicely and works well ..cheers.
