8200199158 - Clio V6 box
7700260096 - Espace V6 box

Can people clarify which they mean?

The Espace V6 box is the one JMS use and the one proven to give the best gains in a Clio. This will, without a doubt, fit the Twingo engine bay so that's why I assumed some people were discussing the Clio V6 box which probably won't fit.

Really can't see it fitting in the twingo!

top one fits when battery is out.
i can see the second one fitting just, i had a 250mm long 180mm wide green filter in just but it would require a slight cut of the induction hose (about 20mm) and it will rest right up to the radiator and you'll need to get ride of the scope bit. but still very tight

I'm wondering if this will fit as it's similar to the Espace Vbox, but with two smaller inlets...
Clio 172 Ph1 airbox

Interesting. I did ask my uncle if he had an air box from his old espace ages ago, unfortunately despite keeping everything else he did not.

Isn't the twingo R2 airbox the same as the clio V6 airbox? So it should fit in snugly

 

[maggi200]

I think they reallocated the battery to make it fit didn't they?

I think they reallocated the battery to make it fit didn't they?

And it's a triangular box on the R2 parts drawings
edit- I think the same as the first pic from Graham above

 

[maggi200]

I've never seen it in the drawings so wouldn't know. The v6 is a cylinder isn't it? Massive thing!

personnaly i don't like the V6 air box

it's just a big box without special optimisation

i wait for Twingo R2 Evo box
i supose it will be designed like the Clio R3 maxi one

if it's not, i will make a Clio R3 maxi like box

Clio RS172 phase 1 airbox

It fits but the intakes realy need altering slightly to move them away from the battery

Thats two 65mm intakes into the filter body

Since being on the rollers at RS tunning, I have suspected the BMC 70-130 to be a bit on the small size. The new element is bigger than the whole CDA :?

Some more work required yet and a new filter to go in it before trying it out properly but it certainly fits

 

[maggi200]

Awesome. Which filter will you go for?

 

[singlespeed]

Being as I have the cleaning solution and oil for the BMC, it would have been rude not to

you could try with a smaller gel battery.....
