Do intakes really work

<< < (2/3) > >>

KRL:
The OEM intake is massively restrictive.  My Twintake made 26 BHP over OEM and my only other performance mod was Revo Stage 1.

You just need to look at the design of the OEM intake to see how restrictive it is...

CarrG:


When i added the Dbilas to at the time Stg2 Revo K04 it made +20hp on the same rollers.

40 hp says it does make a difference

Simon please, even if an intake makes a difference, 40 bhp?!? The same as a remapp?!? Oh come on, seriously..,

No Deception there..... I was at the dyno during testing, at such a high level of tune i would expect to see 40HP yes, with a stage1 car i would expect to see 20-25hp depends on what spec you're running at the end of the day!

Janner_Sy:
well there you go micky, , there are threads after threads confirming guys making 20+Hp(with dynos sheets) after fitting the twintake and ITG.

the gains are there to be had at that stage just as a standalone mod,  but with proper adjustments to the MAP more is possible as you can run more boost and fuel etc  which =more power pure and simple.  granted with no map tweaks you wouldnt see that increase.

also bear in mind that those graphs were done back to back on a set of rollers so there is very little chance of error. 

RedRobin:
....

It depends on the individual package of mods a car has. My K03 Mk5 GTI gained just over 20bhp with a Forge Twintake over its previous Carbonio feeding stock airbox with ITG panel filter. Back-to-back dyno plots.

On Revo2 and consequently able to fine tune the settings to avoid needing an aftermarket fuel pump (I'd rather spend on something else and am satisfied with my current driveability).

That's one of the big advantages of Revo: Being able to fine tune B/T/F to allow for your different hardware mods. :notworthy:
