Supercharger with standard airbox?

[14500rpm]

Hello all,

Has anyone with a SC conversion on a VX220 kept the standard airbox rather than fit a cone filter? If not do you think it might fit/be made to fit?

Having watched a few vids of SC'd cars I think the whine might get on my tits after a while and an airbox could help to calm it down a bit.

Thanks in advance!

you could i suppose... but would require a 90 degree bend i think due to lack or room
but the whine has nothing to do with the airbox

I think the whine might get on my tits after a while:

It doesn't make the noise constantly. Only when you're on WOT, during normal driving and cruising, it makes no appreciable noise.

I don't think the standard airbox would work well on a sc conversion, the angle of the outlet isn't right to align to the sc throttle body

you could however use a vxT airbox or similar dunno..

You can use the standard airbox, but you need to modify and relocate it.
I fitted a larger, flared air entry pipe and shortened/flared the internal pipe.
And the supercharger whine is no more...

But not sure if it will stay this way. Found a way to battle the whine AND have a big intake filter => Harrop charger.
(Maybe I will use the Cobalt-SS LSJ intake box, as that is big with a round filter and should be a very easy fit.)

Thanks for your replies everyone!
