I just realized that most of the solutions I found for ducting utilize the ability to attach a reducer to the Airbox. The only problem with your Airbox is that you don't have the typical way of screwing the OEM Flap or reducer. After attaching the reducer, you can then route some big ducting from your front bumper into the Airbox.

Barry, are you going to corner weight it with yourself in the driver's seat? What's the scoop at VIR on November 14th? I might come down.

Can't wait to see some on-track videos, Barry. Good luck with the build!

Sorry for being a jerk, but that airbox just screamed out to me.

First time on track!
Had a good time on Sunday taking the car out for it's first time on track. Still sorting out setup and a few other issues but the potential is there. Love the way it turns in and it really feels pretty good overall. I was having some mild oversteer issues in medium speed turns (1 and 4 at VIR). So looking at making some changes. Few pics and vid (sound is terrible so you may as well mute) below. Lap time is not that great as I was being conservative

If you look at the Z4 GTR that has the P54B32, you'll see that it has the CSL Airbox and very similar ducting to the one that Fall Line built.

Car looks great. Thanks for posting the build up, it was a great read! I've wanted to pick up another s2k and make it a dedicated track car. Maybe after I get married next year I can finally do it....

Looks great... wish I was right there with you, but my M3 was getting repaired from an accident with a deer
Would loved to have seen/heard it in person. Any videos from VIR?

Hi folks. I'm back from being banned for making obnoxious comments about other members' cars/intelligence/sexual proclivities. I'm hoping to limit my drunk posting and prevent my annual ban in the future.
To clarify my previous comments on airbox design please read up on Helmholtz resonators and then find information on snorkel length/width. The object is to take advantage of momentum of the air entering the airbox to help pull in more air. There are optimum velocities to obtain in the snorkel to maximize average pressure inside the airbox. Unless the airbox in the picture I commented on has an internal tube much smaller than the outside diameter shown, that airbox has left horsepower on the table. No winning team gets everything right. They just get less things wrong than their competition.

No offense intended here either, but assuming you can eyeball that kind of thing from a photo on the internet is pretty damn presumptuous. And if you CAN do that accurately, I suggest starting up your own fluid dynamics consulting firm because you could operate with a lot less overhead than everyone else
Not too shabby for a first time out even if you were taking it easy Barry
