Intake scoop on 7th Gen JDM, possibly USDM

[aRDEi]

This is a question for someone who's engine bay (or airbox, etc) looks like this:



Where is the stock intake scoop for the car? I can't see it being under the bonnet anywhere so is it below the car itself or what? Pics would be great if available.

Thanks.

Umm...see the big black box in front of ur battery? Thats the airfilter, there is a tube runing along the left side of the battery into the air filter that is the air intake. The other side of the big box runs to the mas and then to the throttle body.

The air intake tube behind the battery just sucks air from around the headlight area, nothin fancy.

There is none. The air intake goes behind the right headlight and picks the air from there.

1) The air is forced by the air entering from the front and as is pushed in spills to the right and enters in front of the coolant bootle.

2) The air is forced around the headlight and the intake gets it from there.

3) Air is forced from the underside of the baterry, there is a hole there and air goes up and then it gets suck in by the intake.



Pull your battery and you will see that the intake ends in a flat funnel like shape, its more like a bottle of oil with the bottom cut out.

Isnt that what I said. You could see the tube on the side of the battery in his picture.
