I'm looking for a Cravenspeed cold air intake.

The closest one in design still on the market today is the one made by DDM works.

While the top cover is not "see through" lexan, the basic design is the same. You could always use the DDM top cover as template and just cut/drill your own clear top cover...

 

Yes it's close but not close enough. Cravenspeed covers both of the control units. It's alot cleaner looking.

 

I show it only containing the DME and harness hook up...and the DDM and the Craven share same filters.



Same as the ALTA - still available too...

Maybe OP wants CS logos. I personally plan to get an M7 for that very reason. It matches the other accessories under the hood.

 

Here's one with clear lexan cover....https://www.airtecmotorsport.com/pro...-for-mini-r53/

Not Craven but a "looka like"....Only diff is the ECU is exposed, but a Quality piece.....

Could always paint the ECU cover though to match or contrast with other colors in engine bay. Like I did on mine....I painted it over 7yrs ago, still looks like it was just done.

 

You have the airtec one ? If so , what is the inlet size where it attaches to the intake??

 

No I don't have one to measure but have seen their Intercoolers, nice quality and decent price.

The diameter should be the same as stock, since the other end of the Airtec hose attaches to the TB, and also since they sell the Pro Hoses separate from airbox for those using a stock box.

 

As far as I can tell Cravenspeed's is the only one that has a place for the factory ram air.

Wow , those polished horns look nice..lol I hate chrome on a car but love it on an engine.
BTW, does the factory front ram even ever get cool air in it ? The hood blocks it and it sits rite by the radiator , I can't imagine it does much. This is why I love the cowl scoops to better use that spot.

 

The horns are black chrome and so is the intake along with cai and several other things. The ram air might not do much, but I like the look better than having a hole in the engine compartment.

 

The "ram air" is part of the lower portion of the stock box.
The Airtec uses the lower portion..as does some of the others.

Judging from this photo of a Craven CAI, I dont see the ram intake tube....maybe Craven went through various stages of development....

 

It's there but you have to cut and fit the ram air tube. It's not real easy but I like the look better.

Check out the GruppeM intake. It is like $1200, but covers the ECU and includes a carbon front air snorkel thingy.

 

They don't make one for an R53. Thanks

 

Not sure if you can still get one, but they definitely did at one point...

I have one I am willing to sell. Need to get it off my car and switch back to a JCW intake
