Just wondering why you're using a Pipercross air filter? Did you pick that or did Backdraft fit it?

Its a right pain. Sem is taking ages. Its the last thing we are waiting on with this massive order from the US. I just want to get it finished so I can have a drive!!!

We supplied the filter and we use them on most of the cars. Great flow and non oiled.

Non-oiled, interesting, I thought foam filters needed an oil to catch the particles?

Also - how good do you rate the Forge big race intercooler?

Pipercross use some special stuff called MX foam which doesnt need oiling.

The race intercooler gave a noticable improvement on Adams car. Dropped around 15 degs intake temps with much more punch at the top.

Is there a benefit to fitting one of these to a standard car, whether you intend on tuning or not? I read that they can give longer life to other engine components? (let's assume that this owner doesn't mind spending the money on this IC)

 

[RobDon]

Ah good to know - thanks for the info. I was looking at the new Pipercross Venom kit but don't know if it's restrictive or not, says it's been made in conjunction with a WTCC team.

So this should be a dry foam filter inside then?

If it was me then I would have the race one. There wont be much boost drop over the smaller one, but the lower temps will be the biggest benefit.

I know the old Venom was an oiled foam filter, but I dont know about the new Venoms. Ive just send an email to our px suppliers with a few questions about the filter.

That was what I thought, so even if the rest of the car isn't being tuned yet, the big race IC would still benefit the car... sorry to put this in your RR thread Buch, but I may be making further enquiries on this subject soon... thanks Backdraft

 

[Backdraft]

The new Venom is lightly oiled and they dont currently make a specific kit for the Cupra R, but you can get a universal one that just needs a reducer.

What's the part number of that Pipercross foam filter Alex - is it a C0187?
