don't you guys find that you lose torque with induction kits?

nom 11 March 2002 09:21 PM

Doesn't it actually increase, but more sort of shift than increase? Hugely clear there :rolleyes:...
I mean there's a higher peak level at higher RPM but actually less contant across the range (especially less at low RPM), so less driveable although more power :confused: Hey hey I'm explaining things well today :D
Well, maybe somebody else can describe properly what I'm driveling about ;)

People always go on about induction kits loosing torque and power but i honestly cant feel any i get the opposite

john banks 11 March 2002 10:47 PM

Some people find it makes it a bit lean during spool up losing torque. Stephen Done got good results by remapping his.

I thought it just made a load of noise on my car and now run a panel filter.

yeh makes it much louder :D
Blitz + PiperX induction....

can't comment too much as I had very DP + BB fitted just before.. I feel the mid range doesn't scream away quite like it does when she's on song... I almost removed mine coz of the silly maxpower esc sound but I've stuck with it and just lift of the throttle much faster to get a crisper note from the dv (standard) :)

I'm now using a Green "Twister" filter with their ducting kit and a bellmouth.

Looks similar to a K&N filter (ie. cotton) in an aluminium case with 80mm ducting to the front bumper.

AFAIK Green don't sell a bellmouth for it so I got one for £2.50 from Maplin (aka bass port). ;)

Very quiet and with better flow than the stock setup.

I don't use the MAF (Link ECU) so check with Green beforehand if you decide to go this route.

Thanks

I had an MY94 WRX with a full scoobymania decat exhaust and blitz filter and it was _crap_, the blitz came off after a week or so. From what I can gather it will make the car run leaner, this is the reason for the reluctance to fit my APS Cool Air to the RB5.

I think that a remap is on the cards and the APS can wait until then...

ta,
Matt.
