    There is no room for a square one, and angled plenums then to angle in to increase the velocity of air to the ports further away.

    QTF

    And if you have the means, you can tune the shape/volume of the airbox to give you maximum gains where you want them, whether it's mid-range or top end. Then you can tweak the ram tube lengths and bellmouth curvature to fine tune it all...

    Kinda like exhaust chamber tuning for 2-strokes... Kinda...

    This may sound stupid, but what is wrong with using the stock air box off the 20v's?

    The outlet on the stock airbox is facing the firewall on a rwd layout, which means that it needs modifying anyway even if you want to use it.

    I have seen the stock 20v plenum run upside down in one of the AE86 club dvds ('Remember' JDM cars have the the booster in the way also) , would have still required some slight mods I think but couldn't be too much.
