Greddy 'Dustpan' intakes
 

Hi All,

I have been trying to search on this intake as I have never seen one (and hopefully I will have one in my sticky hands in a couple of weeks). Can anyone please tell me their impressions - and secondly - please see the attached pic - has anyone tried this (good idea / bad idea / bl**dy crazy idea).

Looks interesting. You could probably do it yourself if you're careful enough. You are talking about the extra opening aren't you?

Cheers, Jon

yep - the big hole in the front.

That looks like a Racing Beat Type1 nose... I've never seen the extra cutout in between the parking lights. It looks like a good way to get extra air into the top of the radiator although I know nothing about it. That opening combined with a Jackson Racing CAI kit would be nice. What's the reason behind making this mod?

And I think when guys refer to a dustpan intake, they're talking about this...

I think this is the setup people refer to as the dustpan.

AHA! Foiled again... you are correct sir!

Sorry for the confusion - I was indeed talking about the one that jayc72 linked (pic attached). Can you see any downside of the hole between the parking lights?

the only thing I can think of is a hole between you parking lights...:D

That filter will probably get dirty pretty damn quick. The other thing that might be an issue is airflow through the rad/intercooler. I'm not really sure how this might have an effect, but you never know.

I'd bet it works just fine, but you'd need some minmal sort of filter/hinderence to keep rain, dirt, and bugs from blasting on through.

I like it. I might try it.

Dustpan might also refer to those low-profile scoops some guys put under the car.

Cheers, Jon

The hole is just designed for the cooling system, but a filter is that postion would greatly benefit.

The hole in is still below the shelf the "dustpan" scavanges from so I wouldn't be conserned about water, dirt, etc.

Good luck trying to get it imported from Japan though. Looks like they use it for a v-mount intercooler.
