About 50whp.

shame that as I was thinking of attaching a fan to one of these to save on battery drain

Reminds me of the Pentium hamster days

[quote="Kawa"]I remember being told an Yamaha R1 engine (1000cc) running at 10,000 rpm would try and suck in 10,000 pop bottles of air every minute. Thats alot of air!!

it would be 5000 bottles as its a 4 stroke inline 4, although it would be lower as you cant get 100% fill without forced induction
as for the blower, electric blowers are feasable but the amount of energy required is as of now (one day maybe) out of the question.

I was looking at one of these or something similar to help keep my filter in the Stagea cool in traffic, use it to suck air in from somewhere and blast nice cooling air at the HKS which is sat unshielded next to the turbo, hot air over the MAF = 50% reduction in boost to keep the engine alive, sucks for performance

PPC ran a comparison test on one of these vs the standard air intake and dyno'd before and after. It caused a drop in bhp. This was put down to the fact that it was restricting the intake more than the stock air box and simply couldn't push enough air in to make up for it.

In other words they are pants.

Just watched that leaf blower vid... Never seen that before ..

Is a cone filter more or less restrictive than a mushroom filter and is the standard airbox better or worse than both?

I have a plan. My girlfriends hairdryer has a cool setting, maybe I could fit that to my cars intake

Why would you need that extra performance if you're sat in traffic?
