Cold Air Intakes

Factory airboxes are designed to be cheap, quiet, and compliant – not to make power. If you want your engine breathing properly and responding the way it should, a cold air intake is one of the easiest and most effective upgrades you can make.

At Australia Speed, we specialise in OTR (Over The Radiator) cold air intakes for Holden models, including VE, VZ, and VF Commodores. These systems pull genuinely cold air from outside the engine bay, giving you measurable gains in power, throttle response, and even that addictive induction roar.

Whether you're chasing performance or just want your engine running at its best, our cold air intakes deliver.

Why Upgrade to an OTR Cold Air Intake?

The factory setup pulls warm air from inside the engine bay. Warm air is less dense, which means less oxygen, which means less power. An OTR cold air intake relocates your inlet to draw fresh, cool air from outside, giving your engine the oxygen it craves.

Here's what you get when you upgrade:

  • More Power & Torque: Cooler, denser air means better combustion and noticeable gains across the rev range.
  • Improved Throttle Response: Your engine responds quicker and sharper when you put your foot down.
  • Better Engine Sound: Hear your engine breathe with a deep, aggressive induction note.
  • Increased Efficiency: More efficient airflow can improve fuel economy during day-to-day cruising.
  • Easy Installation: Bolt-on fitment with no cutting, fabrication, and zero drama.

An OTR cold air intake is one of the best bang-for-buck mods you can do – and it pairs perfectly with other upgrades like exhaust systems and tuning.

VE OTR Cold Air Intake Options

The VE Commodore is a favourite among Aussie enthusiasts, and for good reason. If you're running a VE, our 2 OTR cold air intake is purpose-built to suit your setup. This system relocates the airbox over the radiator, drawing cold air directly from the front grille.

The VE OTR cold air intake delivers proven results: more power, crisper throttle, and that induction sound that makes every drive more satisfying. It's a direct bolt-on replacement designed for hassle-free fitment and maximum flow.

VF Cold Air Intake Systems

Running a VF Commodore? Our 3 OTR cold air intake is engineered specifically for VF models. This VF cold air intake uses the same proven OTR design, pulling cold air from outside the engine bay for consistent performance gains.

Whether you're driving daily or building something more serious, the 3 OTR setup gives your VF the breathing room it needs to perform. And if you ever need spares or upgrades, check out our range of cold air intake replacement parts to keep your system running at its peak.

VZ OTR Cold Air Intake for Maximum Flow

The VZ Commodore is a solid platform, and an OTR cold air intake can wake it up in a big way. Our VZ OTR cold air intake systems are built to handle everything from street driving to more aggressive setups, delivering cold, dense air right where your engine needs it.

Pair your new intake with other performance car parts like headers, exhaust systems, or camshaft upgrades, and you'll be amazed at the transformation.
