Stnd Airbox rules!

**Martin** · 21-04-2005, 19:08

I was bored a while ago so I decided to fit an open induction kit that I had in the shed...it sounded really nice. But today on the way home from work I decided to hammer it down one of my favourite testing straights and the car felt very sluggish indeed with no top end pull.. :o

Got home and put the stnd airbox back on and sorted a cold air feed that was pointing in the wrong direction..Sorted! the difference is VERY noticeable

Yep, very good.
I had a Green induction kit on my Williams 3.. and any kind of warmeth, and it really zapped it - specially midrange.. felt like it had no pull at all at any revs.

Finally got a standard item on.. and it was *amazing*... heh, ok, no noise (well, just normal noise).. but who cares?! It's nice to be able to move.

I was thinking of coating my standard airbox with some sort of heat reflective material. tbh i dont care how crap it "looks" under the bonnet, if it has any effect to intake temps it would be worthwhile... will have to see... hmm, wot u guys think?

Don't think it'll make much difference..

It has a cold air feed, and I doubt protecting it from heat would keep it much cooler.

the standard airbox's work great....would be nice to see how restrictive they are and run a engine with no box on the rollers....see how much bhp you loose.

tr00, but a reel of heat reflective tape costs about 5quid and thats enough to do ch00bing+box..

You'd lose loads.. cus' no box is gunna be sucking in a lot of air.. no real airflow etc.. (at a guess)

It sounds pretty good tho I think? Heh.
