Wot do you guys/gals think of this carbon Induction Kit

They look relatively good quality from the pics, one downside is the filter thats fitted with the kit, looks very much like the cheap crap max power stuff out there.

TBH i would be very sceptical about the gains they say you will get, from the fitting pictures it looks pretty much like the BMC, which from others on the site, is a proven performer.

Its just something a bit different from the norm, might just give it a try as it just a cotton filter at the end of the day and cant really see much difference between a K&N and the Simota one.

^^ Not sure mate but there are a few variations of it. MarkM has done something similar but he put his battery in the boot. That one has kept the battery there...would be cool to see where its from..

Edit: Its a simota product,just trying to find it now.

Hiya:rasp:

If you go to the ebay link on the first thread, theres a contact number and when I was speaking to the bloke when order the other one, he said there official Simota Distributers, so you could give them a try:D

That looks odd but nice at the same time with all that carbon.

Not sure where it drraws air from though as the grille where it's positioned blocked by radiator....there is an air duct/channel but that's to the right of that filter.

Here's a dyno graph done recently, unfortunately it's in KW but it still shows the difference between a standard airbox vs the Simota Carbon Aeroform as fitted to Chris's car.

Having inspected Chris's car there is enough under bonnet ventilation once on the move. some air intake temperature experiments could easily be carried out to make sure intake and outside air temps are the same.

Also remember that there is no RAM air effect unless your doiing speeds in excess of 150mph and the intake would need to be ideally situated at the scuttle to get maximum pressure. An intake on the lower part of the bumper is useless in most cases as air is deflected here.

The RRP on these is £207.09 . Chris got his for £195.

The Simota's also have a trumpet behind the Air filter itself for directional airflow unlike other after market systems. Not having the trumpet will lose low end torque and effect part throttle response.

Hey guys/gals

First thing first, cheers "Cyrus" for coming fitting that induction kit the other day, knowing me, would have taken me bloody ages doing it my self and free fitting as well, what a bargain lol

As for the induction kit, all I can see is that its bloody awsome and definate inprovement on the viper, picks up loads better now and sounds the dogs bollox and even loader than my mates K&N.

You probably need something a bit more sophisticated than that kit. You need probes that you can attach inside the intake and somewhere outside the car.

Just seen this induction kit on ebay and wondered what you guys thought. Its same as the GrouppM induction kit, but but well under half the price.

Looks a decent bit of kit mate, but it doesn't work or look the same as a Gruppe M imo. Apart from the fact it's carbon I can't see how you can compare tbh? I dare say it works a treat, but the Gruppe M product(s) that I have used in the past draw air from the back of the bonnet, well away from any heat of the bay.

Will be interested to see if you could do a before & after on the same RR on the same day.

Looks very nice mate, glad your enjoying it.:cool:

and i'm not talking cold air .

It's great if you like an incredible induction sound with zero performance or even lack of.
