K,
One of the things I was wanting to do to spice up my Elio was to replace the stock horn with a 'Horntones' horn.
Horntones.com (or at least something like)

What is the group's thoughts on space under the hood? Think it will fit?

If that box slightly to rear of left engine/trans mount isn't the airbox, where is the airbox's final resting place? That's bound to fill up engine compartment some more.

Where is the turbo/ supercharger along with it's piping going?
PS: Where do you get that pic, do you have more.. and is this pic of E-Series?

That's a P5 picture; the air cleaner is installed in that picture, you can see it under the left headlight, it's one of those cone shaped, high performance air filters.
As for a turbo; the turbo for this size engine it could be the size of the ones they use on the 1100 Superbikes that have turbos; just a little thing.
This is only a .9 liter motor

There are a bunch of under the hood, and engine on the stand pictures here on the site, just do a Search for: Engine, Motor, driveline, under hood and you should get a bunch of results.
If I put up my collection; it would take the next 5 or 6 pages.

I do not expect much space under the hood with the reduced cross section.

My current car has a 1l 3cyl turbo charged engine. It is actually 999cc. It makes 125hp and 148 ft-lbs of torque. The engine is about the size of a piece of paper.

The pic I posted was from the E-1A when it was revealed recently. You can tell from the white paint job.
