Focus air box

[Andy_P]

I've seen it mentioned a couple of times, people fitting Focus air boxes and cold air inlets to give a bit more uumph.
Can anyone elaborate on this?
What year focus etc?

focus diesel airbox or focus st170, very easy to find the airboxes on ebay but very hard to get the snorkle that goes with them. Its bascially the same aibox as the standard connect one but it has a hole in the bottom to connect a cold air feed. I actually just bought the whole set the other day on ebay but have been looking for one for a while.

Got mine out of a 51 plate petrol. Its just the bottom part of the air box and the air inlet pipe that sits on the slam panel of the van for better air inlet.

This is what you need.

Thanks for the replies.
And is £30, as per the eBay link you posted, a fair price?

Don't go for the st170 air box as they have a triangular inlet in the bottom. The 1.8 diesel, 1.8 and 2.0 petrol ones have a circular hole which would be better suited. You want one from a 1998-2004 model focus (the mk 1).

Not sure on price, I got one off my mate. If you got local breakers try those first . I found that it made a noticeable difference to my 75.

i would say 30 is a pretty fair price as i paid 18 pounds for just the box and the snorkle for 15, so its slightly cheaper than mine.

focus mk1 1998 -2004 any model but as above try not to get st170.

try your local breakers.my mates yard has 4 at the moment but all the end intake bits are broken

I mannaged to bag one last weekend on eBay for £25, air box for £15 delivered and the hose for £10! air box has come all well and good, but no sign of the hose yet

I paid a fiver for airbox inc pipes from local breakers
Couldnt say it made that much differnce to performance but it didnt do it any harm either .
Cheap easy mod

[westers]

pipe arrived today so will fit the box along with a KnN air filter 2moro

why not just drill a big whole in the bottom of the standard connect air box and attach a cold air feed pipe.? wouldnt this work just aswell.
