RB182: V6 Airbox Fitted

[Bucko]

so there is slight performance gains then from removeing the CAF?

this goes against all logic in my head lol

I can't comment on any performance gain but i can definitely say it's louder

 

[Rocky_24]

im just refering to Curley saying 'sligtly revs better'

i know the temp of air in that part of the engine chamber might not really be any diff to it comeing from the CAF, thats why im wondering if taking it off provides greater air flow therefor making it rev better?

or am i talking sillyness?

Thats spot on.

Look at the original CAF. With the bends, smaller opening (where it joined with the acoustic valve) and the fluffy bit.. it is absolutely pants and definitely restricting the air flow.

Mine will be going back on tomorrow, regardless of whether there are any performance benefits I just can't drive around in a car that sounds like a 1.2 with a K&N on it

Back on the car, or sent back??

 

[the_prophet]

just his caf, he took it off.

 

[Bucko]

Yep, just the standard CAF on my standard PH2 airbox. I'm not suggesting the PH1 or Espace V6 is noisy as i've never experienced it

 

[Curley]

Im going to be getting the V6 set up. I'd probably have it positioned like 'Quade' 172 with the ECU laid flat and the battery in the boot.

 

[the_prophet]

well i was running the ph2 airbox without caf before i got the jms setup and i think its marginally louder again.

Which is louder, the JMS or the PH2 without the feed?

 

[the_prophet]

the jms but not by a huge amount.

Does your car feel any better/quicker?

I've been considering fitting a V6 airbox for a while, i even bought one about 6 months ago but sold it on as i was proper skint!

On the subject of CAF pipes and removing the standard side entry pipe as they are only a 'shoulder part', am i really reading it right?

This morning i was bored and decided to try it out, so i pulled off the fluffy pipe that goes from the standard PH2 airbox down behind the nearside headlight.

Is this right? All i seems to have done it make my car sound like a boy racer when i floor it...

Looking at that photo, is there any way to run some ducting from the front grill (in line with the renault badge) to the intake. Not sealed, but just placed there to ram some air in the right direction ?

Where can i buy this JMS induction system ?

I've just ordered a ktec cat back, so it should go nicely once fitted

feels alot better. revs easier and pulls harder.
