So, I have ran into a fitment issue with the Infiniti Designs airbox making contact with the OEM fan shroud/harness after installing a PWR WOT Spec Triple Pass Radiator. It appears the combination of Infiniti Designs pushing the limits of available pass of a OEM car in order to make the airbox as large as possible, and the additional thickness of the PWR radiator have caused the issue.

Therfore, I am left with two options.

1. Cut the Infiniti Designs airbox to fit into/over the factory fan shroud ((((unfavorable))))

2. Find a airbox that will fit with the PWR radiator AND must work with the infinit Designs carbon fiber turbo inlet pipe.

Any help with this would greatly be appreciated. Would be awesome to find one that worked and had matching carbon weave, but I know that is a TALL order.

I have attached a photo of the interference location at the fan shroud.

Please note that the pictured interference occurs with the front of the intake box still about 4 inches in the air in relation to the mounting screws and about 2 inches in the air from making contact to the lower grommet. 😆

Sorry to hear you ran into that roadblock! I know that customers using our coupler upgrade kit are able to use a PRL HVI with the Infinity Designs inlet pipe so you can count on that one being compatible with the inlet.

As far as the PRL HVI interfering with the WOT / PWR Triple Pass I can confirm that it fits without any interference.

If you can please confirm the matte carbon weave is the same you have a deal from me.

If so, please provide the part numbers for the materials needed and also the matte carbon model. Thank you.

Thank you. Can you confirm if the matte carbon weave matches by chance. Small detail, but this is alot of coin. Thanks
Oh sorry if that is what you were asking last time I apologize for missing that.

I do not have an Infinity Designs inlet here to compare side by side but by looking at photos it does seem the weave size and direction is the same.
