And even if you had phoned me, 'Phil', I still wouldn't have told you.

I've just found this thread - Brilliant!  :drinking:

JKM know what they're doing and always strive very hard indeed to be as realistic as possible when using the dyno. We all know it's always tricky but I think we've got a realistic before and after comparison.

I'm sure there'll be 'technical' questions which I'll have to refer back to JKM but I'll try my best.

I'm loving the 'foam' jokes  :happy2:

Tomorrow morning, guys..

Right! Big apologies guys.. Have just got off the phone (again) to Forge and JKM.. We're doing another dyno session next Wednesday..

The increase in bhp which we saw on the dyno yesterday is good - very good - but.. with the filters the wrong way around!

How did this happen? - The pdf installation instruction which the Forge guy in America produced is ambiguous and JKM's Jim interpreted it wrongly as it turns out but rightly in that cone filters are usually orientated so that the suction end is the smaller circumference and the delivery end is the larger circumference. One of the pics in Forge's pdf appeared to confirm Jim's view and will now be changed and the instructions made clear regarding this point.

Forge expect a small further increase in the bhp and further improved curves when we correct the filter orientation. We shall see what happens on the day. I will include all the dyno plots in the review so that we can all share the differences.

....Of course. I already have politely (as I normally do) made my opinion clear, they agree with me and are already taking steps to sort it.

Good companies, like Forge, take notice of customer feedback and then act as they think is in everyone's best interests. I hope you don't think I'm anti BSH - I'm just open in my criticisms and the rest is entirely up to them. People don't always agree with me anyway (and I can make mistakes too).

Cheers  :happy2:

....

You'll have to wait until after Wednesday. To publish them with the filters back-to-front would be misleading - Too many folks will just read the neddy number and ignore the context. It would muddy the waters.

It would be quite amusing if there are more neddies when back-to-front! The cart before the horse?

I'll go as far as saying that I think the ITG intake has a real competitor, but none of these dyno tests can be truly conclusive unless ALL done on the same car on the same day.
