Works insanely good compared to having an open pod just hanging off the throttle body. measured intake temps are at most 2 or 3c above ambient. i did some ruff maths assuming that for every 4c drop in air intake temp you gain a 1% power increase so example:- air intake temp 60c - assumed power output 100kw drop the air intake temp to 20c ie 40c drop (40/4=10) 10 *1%= 10% new air intake temp 20c - assumed power output 100kw + 10% =110kw no idea what im going on about really im just pretty just rambling on shit coz im tired goin to bed laters! your math is pretty much right. its a good way to judge gains. as for hydro lock, my engien doesnt draw strong enough. i took teh filter off dunked it in a tub of water and my engine stalled, not from water but from lack of air. you need to be fully submerged for hydrolock to happen. it was raining all night, the intake is bone dry on the inside. although the filter needs a new coat of filter oil, its getting grey where the water has washed it all off [Updated on: Thu, 10 November 2005 20:17] [Report message to a moderator]
