K&N pods are know to not flow as much as a K&N panel filter theres lots of pod filters that **** all over K&N for flow cheapo wildcat pods used to be one of the best flowing in flow bench testing

Filtration tests on the same units?K&N pods are know to not flow as much as a K&N panel filter theres lots of pod filters that **** all over K&N for flow cheapo wildcat pods used to be one of the best flowing in flow bench testing
Anymore pics of this mate ?
Also in that pic i would prob cover the gap between the otr and the front body to direct air right into the otr
no, that makes it worse. we removed that strip and the inlet temps came down. by removing that strip, the air from the high pressure area in front of the radiator is forced up to the mouth of the intake
Ahh kk makes sense lol, thats why ur the expert here and not me
Good testing there bud.
As i have always felt, LPG is purely for budget motoring when you use the mixer ring/ cone setups. They will never make power as they create a huge restriction in the intake path. A restriction very much like what i heard about the V8 brutes a few years ago (VU? series) they made much better power than the ford 302(?) so they put a restrictor 'ring' in the intake to cap the LS1s a few kw?? Anyway, in your situation, if you want to make similar power on LPG (as is on petty) you have to look at a direct injection setup. Something that i would be interested in trialing on my race car.
As for the CAI systems. The problem with enclosed pods is that they soak heat in the box. The OTR's do this also hence it comes down to which one can continuously flow the most efficiently while driving to negate the heat soaking effects.
I have tried both SC6 and enclosed pod setups. Nothing wrong with the SC6 cai as it looked stock and tidy. But as most v6 owners were doing this same mod, i chose to try a different setup for individuality and (imo) a neater look again. I tried the enclosed pod with a metal box, small 90mm air feed in the guard. Neat look but soaked heat badly. I developed it further.... Heat resistant matting on the inside of the box, and also a larger cutout in the guard (the size of a panel filter) and a scoop facing the front behind the bumper. i know not many ppl are keen on cutting holes, but this one is not visible at all and its not a load bearing panel. This setup provides consistant power on the dyno. Probably due to it pulling air purely from outside the engine bay, without and restriction
Though it was a lot of mucking about, i now have a cai system that im happy with and has made a gain... if only 4-5 kw (with back to back testing). I can easily pull the headlight out at the drags to have a direct cold air charge to the pod.
Dont know if this will help much.. but its a slice of my knowledge
