The C350 airbox is a direct upgrade to the current C320 airbox. This airbox is on all M272 engines. It offers 3.5" inlets, a Y-pipe intake design, and less of a chance of heat soak due to the air routing. Filters are the same as the C320.

 

Semantics but I think you got your less than and greater than signs messed up.

 

That was always my weak point.

 

those signs can get so dang confusing! I always have to think back to a pacman eating the smaller weaker thing haha

 

Does it sound any different then the stock? How would you compare it to a single CAI?

I might be interested!

 

Thanks TVT for all the experimentation and finding cost effective upgrades that make our toys just a little bit better. Not all of us need or can afford the full on, blowout, $800-1200 upgrades; it's great to find those mods that satisfy our disease and our wallet.

 

Seems sort of odd that it fits, the oil fill cap is on the opposite side. What does the little window in the middle show?

 

Just the airbox itself fits, not the front cover, they are seperate pieces. That thing in the middle is where the new cars keep their ECU!


We have not run the car with it on, but the flow is designed like a Y-pipe. I'll snap some pics tomorrow of the back.

 

Nice. You'd think all that heat on the top of the motor would be hell on a computer.

 

Well, it kind of makes sense to mount it right on top of the engine.
That saves on running all the sensor wires from their locations on the engines all the way to either the left or the right fender well, and then back.

There probably is one nice, simple set of wires that run from the firewall to the ECU, and that's just about all you need to pull in order to pull the engine out, and swap in a new one, aside from fuel and coolant lines, of course.

BC.

 

Been like that on the V12TT motors since '03.

 

Interesting, but makes sense.

 

I was contemplating just picking up a 3.5 m272
I found one for a deal, complete with harness and ecu, and its not a di motor.
dohc 4 valve > sohc 3 valve

 

Don't for get the VTEC YO!



But seriously it has a VVT as well. so DOHC+4valves+VVT> sohc +3valves. The 3.5 was the next gen version of the m112 so its not surprising it was a better motor... here is a wild question would the 3.5 cyclider heads fit on 3.2 that would be sweet.

 

well the m272 is based off of the m112 block
the problem is I have a 6spd and it looks like it uses the srt crank pattern.
but that fix is 1 phone call away.
