Hi guys just tought id share my day with you lot!
Ive had a typhoon intake fitted now for about 2 months and it sounds and performs great! One of the main disadvantages with this system is the fact it uses alu for the intake tube and folded steel for the airbox.
I have read a few threads on the subject of heat soak and how it affects you car.
From the threads i have read it proves that when the car is moving and load is on the engine, the time that the air is in contact with the "hot" intake track it has no ill effect on the cars performance.
This is not true when the car is stopped or moving slowly through traffic.
Now comes the "i have nothing to do to day syndrome" !!
I have seen the thermal tape and reflectors use in motorsport and just thought why not!
45mins later and back from demon tweeks i have 30feet of DEI thermal reflection tape! Upto 1500deg C radiant heat resistant and thin to rap small components.
I did the hole intake tube and the air box.
The air box pics below.
(I still need to take intake tube pic so ill up date this when i have them.)
Any comments guys and gals!
From my calculations this should give me AT LEAST 75bhp more @ 22,000 rpm! hahaha.
Thanks Tim
