Oooops thought this thread was about Dale Winton..... .........ill get my coat

I agree it wont work on all cars, but if a car had a restrictive inlet pipe it may be losing power due to restrictive air flow. The question is - is thw Williams inlet pipe restrictive?

Rhys, did you have a look at that piping?

Ok so air travels from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. Basic science. The low pressure is in the engine caused by the downstroke of the cylinder (im not very technical i hope this is right). This creates a pressure difference that alllows air to passively move from the air...

You see from a biological point of view (with my biologists hat on) girls are really there as baby machines. All the females do, is look good to attract men to have sex to have babies. Men on the other hand have a number of functions. 1. Fertilise girls (sex) 2. Gather food and hunt...

Did i say you were good for one thing? Was talking about girls in general. Ok so if its not true name one thing that a girl can do for me, that i cant do myself, apart from sex and having a baby.

LMAO @ Rhys. If you wash your car you get good at washing If you drive you get stuck in traffic

A little birdy told me that some of the original Willys had a little extra power to paint the car in a better light with the media. Dont know if this is true, but my source seemed to beileive it.

So why would Peugot develop one as an add on for the 106 GTI?

Pm me when you get the info. I found a guy that will do a full refurbishment on Willy alloys for £45 each in Derby area. Prob cheaper if a few of us got together and went together. Anyone interested? Guarantees the colour is identical

What does the old thread conclude? Could save alot of time. Does ram air work for a Williams? Is the original induction restrictive in any way?

Well Williams Babe, if you spent as much time round here as you spent with Clive, maybe id think differently.:@

Am i right in assuming that the intake of air by the engine is caused by the downstroke of the cylinder? If so then this creates a low pressure above the desended cylinder which results in a pressure differential between this area and the inlet manifold. The result is that air travels down the...

The question is, are there any clever ways to lower the temp? Dry ice in a sealed tube wrapped round the piping might work, but youd have to fill it up evertime you drove.

Im sure he could, he seems to know his stuff

The prototype was being driven by e Renault test driver.

so multiple cold air pipes from various locations to cool the air passing into the airbox (like rhys) may be the way to go? Any scoop would just increase flow of cold air at lower velocities making the system work at fast and low speeds?

I noticed when i did my blue peter job on my Willy with the funnel, that the car was faster at lower revs? Whats the reason for this. You think i am not getting enough air to the engine with the hill power chip?

Thats a good idea having a drain plug. I noticed after i went out in the rain the other day, i took the air box after i got in and the piping was wet. Bit concerned but the filter was dry.

With that drain / inlet you may be able to replace those three pipes with one large bore pipe

Is that housing completely sealed with the bonnet down?

3 or 4 BHP for a piece of piping and a bit of time. Ill have a piece of THAT. I just tried a similar thing on my Volvo 340. The carb is ontop of the engine and ontop of this is the air box. From this passing forwards is the inlet pipe which bends down and attaches to the front on the car behing...

Nice dead fly collection. Ever thought of making the circumfrence of the intake pipe bigger at the opening (like a funnel)? What about a square funnel that sits behind the grill. Trouble with a With is that there is nowhere to really put a pipe in the front of the car, except the fog light...

Hes a one man band. Does alot of work at garages for minor dents that are not worth a new panel. He used a tool to push them out then hammered them flat.

Only joking, LMAO. Bit of a bargain though, im tempted as a second car. Keep the Willy nice for weekend use.

Just spoken to my friend with the Pug 106 gti and he had a rolling road before and after his mods. A chip (set up on the rolling road), exhaust, air scoop and performance filter and a decat gave him 25 BHP. Not bad gains for a light little car with those mods. What do you think a Willy would...

Ive just been round B&Q and they have all sorts of piping. Some of the piping alows split flow, corner pieces and a really cool piece called a split flow pipe, that really couldnt be better designed as an air scoop. I am thinking of fabricating my own though. Im going to have a good look at my...

This is true. Id rather it was high up on the car. Could you use the air flow that cools the exhaust manifold from the bonnet scoop?
