Hi Neal, 43 eh ? Though I was over the hill at 45 LOL... Old gits rule eh ?? hee hee Regarding the braking ?? ,, Mine does not do that at all. ! how many mile have ya got on it ?.. Joe

Hi Nick. Just as a side note, how are you testing the AF ??.. are you using a lamda take off ?. Also, how does the car perform without the inlet being in the speed related airstream ?. Where are you based >,, would be fun to meet up and test some theories.. maybe a workshop day for the...

Continued again LOL.. wouldnt let me post - message too long Hmmmmmm . the filter is a reasonable point, however, there is nothing to stop the manufacturer fitting K&N type elements.. apart from the fact that THEY DONT FILTER AS WELL as the paper ones... the engine longevity will suffer...

****"Please dont go down the route of worshipping F1 as if their technology and their engine design is so radically different from a fast road car, its not, they use internal combustion engines just the same as I do, and my car is capable of 140mph and a decent ram effect. I will concur that for...

Hi Nick, *****"*lol* Well have to agree to disagree on this one then Joe! "I know what youre saying about inlet tract pulses etc and how this might be upset by pressurised air being rammed in constantly but this is a red herring IMHO. If engines were so easily upset that they had to be...

Hi Nick et al... Nope, not mental at all LOL.. Air is drawn into the inlet tract in pulses. To obtain a benefit in what you term ram air you would need to have a pipe of a tuned length, even then it would only benefit one particular range. there is no turbo effect, no boost effect. no...

Why are you changing them.... ? If the original spring is working correctly, you dont need to change them or if you do you will not notice any difference . Dual and triple often allow for higher lift due to reduce coil thickness. titanium are for reduced coil width and weight...

Yep, there is NO ram induction. take a piece of 3" pipe.. hold this out of the window now measure the pressure at the closed end.. hmmmmmmm.. not a lot.. now deduct the flow that the engine requires in CFM.. ooooooops.. no pressure increase worth mentioning.. as I said, it dont...

Beg to differ Nick.. The ram scoop is a load of tosh... the car would NEVER get to speeds high enoug to enable ANY kind of forced induction. ! the radius on the end of the intake is purely the optimimum design for airflow INTO a pipe. Joe

sorry, dyslexic today KO.. http://www.dtafast.co.uk DTA I meant... doh... the new 32bit unit is the one of choice for me. Joe

Hi, personally I would recommend you stay away from chipping on a normally aspirated engine. If you are doing SERIOUS mods... look for the ADT or similar programmable ECU. Joe

Hey Dave, no probs.. Preston is 25 minutes from me.. let me know. We can arrange a testing session, would be good to see the results. after 30 cans of Stella last night - 4 of us inc the 2 brides ! - I cant think about beer... but I will rekindle my desires when you can get up here Joe.

ooooooooops (standard - I meant LOL)

Hi Dave. not sure where you are located. but if you are ever up in Lancs. I can test it for you with an AP22. I have a dtandard mk2 172 we can use for comparison. If it shows an increase, I will buy the beer ! Joe :-)

sorry to be a party pooper.... but there is no way on gods little earth that an airbox of any sort can make a noticable difference on a 172.. the ONLY benefit is noise... and that would be something I dont want .. the noise makes you think you are getting more.. and the note at vvt...
