Hi All,

Was putting a Hi-Flow panel filter in the stag the other day and was wondering what the material is that is sort of clipped on to the top of the air box? The only reason i can think of for it to be their is for sound deadening? What do you guys think? Thinking if thats the only reason its going to get removed :banana:

Here it is:

my k&n filter instructions say it's a "charcoal barrier and is part of the emissions system"

i left mine on cause there's no real gain in taking it off..

k&n. can you feel the gain, is it like having no box?

reason im asking, im using a pod atm wanna go back to box

I got rid of my pod and put a Pipercross PP1128-MX in the airbox (cheaper than other brands) and put the snorkel back on. I am going to cut a hole in the front of the top half of the box and run a pipe from behind the LH headlight to add to the cold air supply.

i might pull it out then... no airbox lid feels more responsive, and no different to a pod?(filter on obviously)
Well that's right... no airbox lid will be similar to the pod in that your incoming air will be subject to the hot underbonnet temperatures. That's why you are better to leave the lid on and use the standard snorkel and/or a cold air supply system.

i am aware of that, the snorkel stayed on obviously... lid has been back on for a while, was just curious ;)

how would it "deaden" any sound since the air is going in through a snorkel and a intake pipe and a filter that has no sound proofing

it would'nt just be that specific spot that would create a sound, would it?

It add's a little more response and it seems to pull a little harder than with a paper filter and it lasts a lifetime, apparently.

I'm guessing it has an effect on how the air circulates within the airbox, and this is what reduces the noise. Maybe it creates sound at a certain frequency which "cancels out" other noises which naturally occur at an opposite end of the frequency range. This is how sound-cancelling headphones work, so maybe this is similar.

im thinkn of replacing my stock panel with a k&n and somehow custom a larger snorkel and add a deflector. i think thatl be easiest way of improving flow and keep temp to min.

anyone done anything simalar.

oiled filter can foul the AFM, go with a dry filter such as an apex or similar panel or pod(even some cheaper brands should be fine.

Yep I got rid of my pod and fitted the original airbox and snorkel with a pipercross (PP1128-MX)filter. I am hoping to get an air deflector next month and I am also planning to cut a hole in the top of the airbox and run a pipe from behind the left hand headlight for an extra cold air supply. Will post up pics when done.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
