Who thinks it would be possible to adapt a BFO cone into a sealed induction kit by making a pipe the diameter of the larger end of the cone and welding/sealing it on, and extending it to a vent at the front of the car to make it like a cold air feed.

Would u expect goot gains from it then?

Would work yes...... but i'm not sure if a straight pipe mounted there would fit under the bonnet!

Not sure where you'll find it. Probably best having the big diameter round the filter but then a smaller (maybe more than one) one going down to cold air.

For the big diameter how about a small kids toy bucket or similar?

Attach pipe to it....

Sounds like a good idea, will just look hidious.

I was thinking, you can buy some hefty sized pipe for fitting the extractor to extractor fans above cookers, also the extractor for tumble driers
