JMS induction kit

[Karashi]

I fitted my JMS kit today (thanks _Nero_ ) and I quite like it although, I can't really tell if it's making any more power now. I feel that it's giving me smoother delivery, possibly masking gains that may have otherwise been perceived. Throttle response is improved and the sound is similar to how I bought the car, with a cone filter and silicone bend, if a little more refined.

The old setup took a line off the silicone bend, which I believed to be crankcase ventilation or whatever. Now in my experience with Pugs, that hose would not blow, or suck, but both (ie. breathe, fast), however, this one sucks and when blocked, the engine stalls. My questions are two:

1. Is it just a hose for idle?
2. Could the breather filter be restricting it when giving some beans, hence not feeling much quicker than before?

Hi mate, You have bought the ph2 setup of Nero that is why PM me for more info!

There's a difference between the ph2 and ph1 set up Tom? PM me, tell me more, or I'll flutter my eyelashes at you next week and get you to tell me all your secrets

If anyone has a pic of their JMS on a Ph1 (Ph2's you're also welcome), preferably one where we can see what you've done with the breather filter, I would be much obliged if you could post it. I'm pretty sure that the hose I've put the breather on is some kind of idle air feed and should be running off the big pipes rather than a little filter.

So here's mine. The hose the breather filter is on seems to be an idle hose on my engine (mainly because it goes up to a stepper motor/IAC valve) and I think the hose should go into the main intake like standard. Unfortunately I've butchered my old setup to stick the filter on that hose, so I can't do a back to back real world performance test.



(EDIT: Don't know how the pic ended up on it's side, gawd I hate computers, I'm going down the pub)

I'll get some shots of mine tommorrow for you mate, I'll try make them as detailed as possible. I can't make out much from your image.

 

[Tom@JMS]

Boys, send the images directly to me. I'll sort out replacement lines.

Tom, I made up a solution, I'll show you on Thursday, thats what I was going to post up
