He'd get 20bhp if it had 'motorsport' written on it.
Cool, you've put a new battery in.Originally Posted by [GSV]Trig
Nox
New battery
airbox gone replaced with Cone (and I dont want to hear the sucking in hot air arguement)
Nobody noticed the FSE's gone n been replaced with a Weber one.
Half a hose kit.
Manual Boost Controller
Heatsheild
Different Rocker Cover
Crome Plug Cover
Dump Valves gone
No mention of the rerouting of pipes either, notice the pipe missing next to the rad
New Bonnet
Aircons gone and the alarm siren is in its hole, it used to be cable tied to the ABS unit/aircon pipes.
More cable ties
Oil Filler Cap
When the top pic was taken the car was at just under 200bhp, its now a bit more lol...
NOt up on cally's - does your car have a bonnet vent or something to let air in to where the air box used to be and induction kit now is?

nope they dont butuz, "i think" as standard it had a sealed unit from the grille pointing towards the air box, then a pipe to connect them. coukd be wrong about last bit though.
Theres an intake that comes from just behind the bumper, into a resonator box then into the airbox, the hole in the box is about 3" accross so the cone just being plonked in the engine bay will have access to less restricted air, yes that air will be warmer but seeing as that the air route goes, cone, AFM, Turbo, FMIC the fact its drawing warmer air in matters not...
For every 5 degrees warmer the air is going into your air filter, it will be exactly 5 degrees warmer when it gets sucked into your plenum.....

How exactly are we supposed to see that?
Tough on mirrors, tough on the causes of mirrors.
You havent seen my FMIC have you lol....
You can see bits of it in the pix cant u
Your not getting me mate
The cooler the air going into the intercooler, the cooler the air coming out of the intercooler, regardless of how big the intercooler is. If your getting lots of heatsoak from bad airflow to the induction kit, then your intake temps are higher, than if you used some clever ducting and heat shielding to get cold air into your air filter, and stop hot air from the engine getting to it.
Your losing performance, by not worrying about heatsoak. And fixit it can generally be free with a bit of ducting work and some steel / aluminum.

Not exactly 5 degrees warmer.
In the pic of the old engine. Just about. In the new pic all we see is bonnet struts. And they seem identical, but it may be just the shoddy picture qualityYou can see bits of it in the pix cant u

Would of thought that'd be wrong tbh, depends on ambient temperatures and the efficiency of the FMIC?
IIRC the intercooler's limited by the surface area the charge is exposed to as it passes through rather than the amount of heat it can radiate.
If the charge going in his hotter, the charge leaving will be hotter, however, it's not by exactly the increase in intake tempreature (as the higher the tempreature difference the faster the energy tansfer).... it might be close though,
