Pipercross Universal PX600 Carbon Airbox Kit

Pipercross PX600 Universal Carbon Airbox Kit
The Pipercross PX600 Universal Carbon Airbox Kit has been designed and engineered to provide a flexible, performance-focused enclosed airbox system that can be tailored to a wide range of requirements; for engines utilising either open-air or Pipercross PX600 filtered multi-carburettor or multi-throttle body intake configurations

KEY FEATURES

• Carbon fibre construction to integrate organic, flow-conducive geometry while integrating all optional/configuration features
• Functional intake improvements including:
  • Fully enclosed intake options to reduce induction noise
  • Lower intake air temperatures via carbon fibre plenum and remote air feed ducting
• Universal, configurable fitment options:
  • Left-hand or right-hand inlet options
  • 75mm or 100mm inlet connection options
  • Optional high temp neoprene cold-air feed ducting
  • Optional Pipercross internal air filtration for compact space applications
• Backwards compatible with all existing PX600 filter kit baseplates

MARKET ASSESSMENT
The PX600 Universal Carbon Airbox Kit was developed to provide an enclosed solution for a wide range of custom engine/vehicle applications that utilise multi-carburettor and multi-throttle body intake setups. Pipercross’ PX600 Airbox achieves the main functional requirements of this enclosure type; controlling intake air temperatures and reducing induction noise (typically for track-day regulations), while still remaining applicable to a wide variety of different engine/vehicle combinations (through configuration plenum inlet locations, sizes, remote ducting and filtration options). Every configured PX600 enclosure is backwards compatible with legacy PX600 filter baseplates, to allow seamless adaptation for existing Pipercross customers, while the gloss carbon fibre finish adds a unique performance aesthetic to any engine bay.

MAIN ENCLOSURE
The PX600 Airbox plenum employs a high grade, 4k carbon fibre weave and a high-temperature, gloss bonding epoxy construction. The carbon fibre manufacturing process allows for liberal use of “organic”, flow-conducive design geometry throughout the PX600 plenum, optimising the part for stable internal airflow while still integrating the optional features required to maintain a wide range of vehicle/engine applications. The epoxy carbon material also offers favourable thermal rejection properties (similar to or better than OE plastics) while maintaining better structural integrity under extended high ambient engine bay temperatures (which can be a chronic failure mode in engine swapped or bespoke track car applications – where the PX600 intake ranges are typically also utilised). Similarly, the thermal properties of carbon fibre epoxy material stabilise and control intake air temperatures (vs. open or open-filtered multi-body throttle setups) to rectify another typically chronic issue in the relevant PX600 applications.

INTEGRATED FILTRATION
The optional integrated air filter is constructed from a 2-stage, reticulated foam bonded into a polyurethane neck and hand-constructed at Pipercross - utilising decades of successful in-house filter manufacturing methods and knowledge. The integrated filter design is available for all inlet side/size configurations and installs directly to the interior of the PX600 plenum inlet; providing a filtration solution for extremely compact engine/chassis combinations utilising multi-body carburettors/throttles. Optioning this internal air filtration also allows for the cold air feed ducting to be connected without the need for a remote filtration media at the inlet of the cold air feed duct – furthering the flexibility and applicability of the PX600 enclosure kit.

COLD AIR DUCTING
The PX600 Carbon Airbox Kit can also be optioned with a 750mm high temperature neoprene cold air feed ducting, matching either the 75mm or 100mm inlet diameter selected. This ducting creates a fully enclosed induction solution, as it can be connected to any favourable air intake point within reach - creating an isolated external air feed solution. Furthering the configurability of the kit, this ducting fully sealed, so a large remote air filtration solution can be installed at the ducting inlet, for space-conscious applications or other special, remote-fed requirements.

DETAILS
The subtle details of the Pipercross PX600 Carbon Airbox Intake Kit are what define it as a premium product. The PX600 Airbox Kit forms part of the PX600 range of filtration components and thus fits to the baseplates of all existing PX600 filter kits (though these baseplates are not included in the PX600 Carbon Airbox Kit). The carbon fibre plenum features an aluminium structure ring integrated into the inlet, to ensure structural rigidity for the life of the part - irrespective of continuous, sustained exposure to high ambient engine bay temperatures. The optional intake ducting is made from high temperature neoprene, as well as its closed-cell construction (to prevent any debris ingress, if utilised as part of a post-filter intake system. Only stainless-steel hardware is provided with the kit, to ensure corrosion, oil and other adverse engine bay environmental factors have no effect on the PX600 kit’s function or aesthetic – no matter how hard the vehicle is driven.
