As above basically does anyone know if i would get much of a gain if any removing one of my inside lights to reveal filter to the world lol (twin headlights) thought about doing so and again thought whats the point lol , and again would a standard box offer any gains but defo dont wanna lose my almighty flutter/chuff Its just that my filter is always quite hot and has got me thinking is this doing more harm than good

Any input appreciated

Ginge !

leave alone !!!!!!

rapidcossie

gained 7 horsepower by refitting the standard airbox!!

rabmc

Really

vroooom ptssssh

Standard airbox. . ask mikeR why his 500bhp sapph had it instead of a cone filter!!!!

Euan - nice one

Ginge !

a roundabout

rabmc

Huh ?

Right , chatter over power ???? Hmmmmmm

vroooom ptssssh

Give it a try Rab, see if you still have some chatter, good thing is it's easily changed back

Ginge, weeeeeeeesht

I run a standard airbox and get plenty of wastegate chatter i also removed the inner morrete for a cold air feed to the 'box and TBH there was no noticeable difference
You have to remember that ford(and any other manufacturer for that matter) spent ŁŁŁŁ developing components such as the air box, The cosworth airbox has a good reputation for it "unrestrictiveness"(i KNOW its not a real word)
The air box only really becomes restrictave the top side of 500bhp

But thats just my humble opinion

rabmc

MMMM intresting cheers for the replys

i went from std box to pipercross viper back to std box after loosing almost 20bhp .. so id say stick with std box

Test by MAD proved no difference if it did i would have stayed with Airbox.
If the test above had been reversed im sure the result would have been the other way round . Its called the Placebo Effect. But kidding yourself it made Power is real i suppose .

Ginge !

evil man there speaks

but still true

rabmc

Surely not guys

Ginge !

come on, why remove it for more power gains

next you will be fitting the real yellows to replace the painted yellow ones


cone filters do work a TINY but, but then you could use a normal air box, you aint gonna get more power though

rabmc

Ive not and am not removing anything

I asked if a airbox would be better

Greens painted yellow I thought they were yellow

Ginge !

rabmc

Thats why shes so fast on those yellows

std airbox doesn't gain you power..............




















but cone filters lose you power
my bro's saff made more bhp with std airbox and filter than cone filter so it worked for him
if it works for you rab stick with it,if not change it back
best bet is when your gettin it r/r change it then
rod if it made no difference then why have it?

vroooom ptssssh

Rod, What's the cooling like at MAD?

Ginge !

so let me get this straight,,,,,,,,,,,

for years people upgrade there air filter for a free flowing item and all get power increase in all the car mags on back to back tests

jamsport get more of a upgrade than with the standard box by drilling it, but the cone still made more than the standard

but now years later cars that made 300bhp with the filter swop now make even more power with swopping back again

so if i done that and then swopped to another cone would i still get more power increases

ill tryo swopping turbos over and exhausts too and then after 1 year ill have a 1000bhp cossie on yellows and t3 turbo





as said placebo effect, anyone actually swop another basic part adn get the car re setup and notice the power increase,,,,,,,,,,, its down to the set up too people

rapidcossie

as hard as it is to replicate runs on a rolling road, Rod i tried my best.

this was a back to back run with cone and air box.

i didnt say it felt any faster, just that it showed more power on the second run with the air box fitted.

rabmc

R u still running a standard airbox just now euan

rapidcossie

yeah still standard box and filter rab

rapidcossie

forgot to add

it has a T4 lid...
