induction kit with cone filter or perfomance panel filter?
or perfomance panel filter with a bigger air box i.e almera?

i found that a pipe and cone filter gave mine a big flat-spot in the midrange

I remember someone saying about a calculation you could do to find the optimum shape/size etc. induction kit for your car. Am i mad?

 

[Optispart]

id mainly like to find whats best for accelaration?

robb

i would think that the diameter of the pipe is relevant

Doesn't the volume of the pipe need to be the same size as the engine, for example the pipe for a 1 litre car needs to hold one litre of air

you can get around this by unplugging your lambda sensor, although your fuel consumption will go up and you will get a popping from your exhaust.....:grinning: mines been like this for about 11,000 miles...:wasntme:

Popping eh? sounds interesting

Is that any good for your cat though?

 

[Optispart]

where do you find this sensor lol, and can you just buy kits that tell you it holds say 1litre of air?

Havent come across any induction kits that specify volume of air like (or the theory that the volume of your induction kit should match your displacement).

Only bonus of a cone filter is the sound really, which is good (Y)

this has been covered before and i think the conclution was that a performance panel filter and a cold air feed going to the air box was best.
