Grill intake n20

Does anyone know of any intakes for the f30 n20 that sit in front of the grill or diagrams to build one

there is no need. the stock air box routes air from the front grill. add the grill scoop, and get an afe momentum intake. you'll get the ram cold air intake you are asking for, without having the filter directly behind the grill needing a clean every 5k miles or every oil change.

For that matter a scoop doesn't do much, if anything. The turbo sucks in more air than the engine needs as it is.

Mate you hate everyone. Please go away with your F34 GT abomination and quit spreading misinformation. We had this discussion before in 2023.

Link of said intake scoop benefits:

At around 6:00 into the video is the actual data.

Nope. Good luck if you decide to make one. Some have said to the world they were going to but realized it wasn’t worth the squeeze if you have the scoop as an option. Please note, with the stock n20 turbo, the intake piping size and filter location isn’t limiting it to make power. It does have a 3.3” internal diameter, thus the pipe size if you removed all the baffling and sound reduction mods (in the factory turbo inlet and upper airbox pipe) within the intake piping, that intake pipe diameter will support around 600whp or so.

Good luck reinventing the wheel!
