jabbasport induction kit

[Mr Roboto]

I wanna try and make me self a little wiser before i go and fork my money out for a BMC CDA rather buy it for performance than the sound effects.

I use a open cone mate

I'm happy with how my car responds

ok so does any one no definitely if the jabba fits the 180 brake engine or not?

So your saying that the ECU adjusts the boost and the throttle opening to compensate for the air intake temperature so you always get the same temperature at the manifold and if this was true we could see the difference on a boost gauge.

Just been reading an article torque cars and they reckon that a 20 degrees centigrade difference in temperature works out at about 3% drop in power.

Also been reading up on hot wire MAF and they measure the mass flow of the air by the change in resistance of the wire as it changes temperature when the air flows over it. so the temperature obviously has some affect on the readings that it takes.

That statement was taken from a website regarding maf sensors.From how it reads it seems the maf sensor knows the density of the air.All im saying is that the warm air around the engine bay is hot, and i dont want my air filter sucking it in.
I think that warmer air from around the engine bay has a detremental effect on power,wheather this is due to the maf sensor changing parameters or something else i dont know.

id say thats a reasonable way of looking at it. simple fact is that the warm air in the bay contains less oxygen than cold air ouside. doesnt matter how much you heat it and cool it as it goes throught the system. if you suck in air containing 1 part oxygen its only ever going to have 1 part oxygen until you combust it.
