Thanks maverick

The quickest and easiest mod ever
Out with the old

In with the new

I have a nice long drive planned later, will be nice to have a little play with this combined with the box

 

[Crocoman]

Good stuff Dan. Yeah, post your impressions later if you can. On a side note, my car was absolutely flying the other day. Joined the M8 from LIvingston and the pick up in speed when I floored it was sensational....

 

[Dan_bush27]

The box has come alive hasn’t it mate! So much fun to drive. I’ll do a small write up of my findings later

 

[Dan_bush27]

Honestly......no real noticeable performance change,might pick up abit better in revs, no noise change but I never was looking for that, but for £50 the fact I know it’s there is enough, plus with proof of purchase getting the same money off their full induction kit as an option was attractive too

No surprises there then Dan... Maybe 2-3 bhp with the full system if your lucky... Maybe more if you polish and gas flow the inlet and exhaust ports in the head.

When’s the full intake due? I might still get this filter though. I have a compulsion to buy all things I30N related.

Know the feeling mate!

 

[Crocoman]

Ha,ha. Yeah, it ‘looks’ Nice! That’s enough!

I’m fitting new number plates tonight. They look cracking - plain plates but the 3D Gel lettering. Nothing else on them so nice and clean.

Will post pics on my car thread once done.

That’s what I have, they look great!

Full intake kit is still a few months away from production

 

[Crocoman]

Cheers. Yeah, they’ll be a kinda ‘stop gap’ market and such like for filters, intercooler and other performance upgrades and then they’ll be the bespoke, well developed kit that’ll come later.

I think these companies still want to make sure it’s going to be worth their while but we’re hopefully getting beyond that stage now, given the positivity from every corner of the motoring industry....

My car is in Regal Autosport today having some work which I’ll share when I pick my car up later but we started the day with a dyno run

Stock + pipercross filter 278.8 bhp and 288.4 lbft
DTUK box on max + filter 299.3 bhp and 340.8 lbft

Very happy! Just wish it hit the 300 mark for self satisfaction

 

[Crocoman]

That's much better Dan, and in keeping with my results. Very good indeed.

The peak torque and hp with the box are v.similar to my numbers (296hp and 343ftlbs)

Stock figures are perfect aren't they. Chuffed.

 

[Dan_bush27]

Yea very happy mate and very close figures! Shows everything’s working as it should

 

[TarmoT]

Do you also feel noticeable torque steer?

 

[Dan_bush27]

Honestly...no more than any other car

 

[I30NMitch]

Good results nice to see it’s not under on stock! I’ll get mine on the rollers once I pick it up also

 

[Dan_bush27]

I’ve gone lower and wider with H&R 35mm drop springs and 15mm spacers, I feel it gives such an aggressive stance! Absolutely love the way it looks.
I have my track day wheels and tyres for when I will push the car so not worried about “how the spacers will mess the car set up” as I never push my car on the road anyway, this is purely cosmetic. The ride is very very slightly stiffer with the normal setting but fine for daily use

Not a great photo but will capture more after it’s washed

 

[Seai30n]

Does the pipercross filter make that silly sneezing sound or is it like the original?
