Laird Performance Outlaw Intake

[MagnetiseST]

So I just randomly came across this looking for some brake caliper adapters...



I like the idea of not crossing over the exhaust manifold,and removing the two bends in the induction hose but are there really any gains to be had here on a stock turbo? Why bother re-inventing the wheel?

I know we are a mostly US based forum, but would any of our international members have any information on this?

The frequency with which some of the /hybrid turbo/BT/'edge tuned', big fuel people on here change their spark plugs would prevent them from using this system, given it has to be removed every time that maintenance is done.

I don't care about it (mine has been off since day one), but many on here also INSIST on keeping their engine covers on as well, so they would not go for this, regardless of how much actual 'power' it makes.

Mine is off due to the vacuum fitting blocking it from sitting correctly. I can't see there being much gain from this, but for a track focused car, I could see it being a potential boon

Hot air intake system 🥵

Its possible lol. It may be identical to the stock one seeing as its going over the engine vs going over the turbo... But more than likely its the same difference.

Stock is way better than a hot cone

I meant stock routing. We all know closed boxes are better. (but I am a rebel and run an open one anyway)

If going super track focused, is there a reason not to just pop a hole in the hood and have a filter sticking out of it?

Now that’s funny

:shrug: with my v8 fiero I had a filter on a stick that was behind the rear glass, and my drivers side sail window was a sheetmetal scoop that pointed at it

I dont think having a filter stick out of the hood would be fantastic. But people remove their headlights for track days and whatnot.

Well anyone with a 2J intake isn’t really all there anyway if you know what I mean 😳

a little bit different take on this type of intake routing but we will have something from another company in the UK very soon like this

 

[Clint Beastwood]

Is it from eurocompulsion?

this looks cool but it adds even more bends. The Laird one is nice and straight lol

I agree

I didn't design either one but you can use the stock, ST200, RAMAIR, itg etc intakes with the one I posted
Agreed, less bends / the increase of power is negligible at best
