I have no idea why it just copied both of the videos twice so I am going to go ahead an apologize for that.

 

Just post the link youtube gives you without using the button in the post. Additionally I'm not sure what you are trying to say with those videos? Because you know that I know, that you know, most mods are nothing without a tune.

 

So you can't feel it but you can see it on a DYNO. LMAO

 

Without a tune too!

 

I am sorry what was the point of the video? Did I miss something?

 

LOL guise I'm not trying to start the hot air vs cold air thing up! All I wanted to do was make the scoop a functional intake and hear my BOV!

Obviously on a turbocharged, fuel injected car that is managed by a computer, none of these changes make that much of a difference! That's a given!

But still... I like the idea that my hood scoop is a little more functional than one of those fake ones that people 3M tape to their hoods! Maybe I'm a little jealous of you R53ers whose hood scoops actually DO something

 

I think a cold air intake only helps you tune the car with a constant ambient temperature.

That's why the JCW intake is boxed, colder air, MINI designers done it again

Thanks for making me like my car more

 

I didn't click the you tube link button so I have no idea what is going on.


On topic though the videos are just saying that to have a true CAI like so many people believe they have the filter needs to be completely out of the engine bay. Also a filter at the end of your stock pipe is probably not going to anything for you and might lose power.

 

hi im trying to do what youv done here but with a super ags as my cai do you have any pics of making it or advice for me . thanks

 

I didn't really know what's going on either. Haha

 

hay guys i just wanted to post my attempted at the hood scoop . i made it out of .019 aluminum from homedepot and small sheet metal screws ,going of some guidance from uhhmoney. i have the m7 super ags and i was getting bad heat soaking of around 20 to 60 degrees fahrenheit over ambiant air temps at 60 + mph . after scoop im getting closer to 1.4 over ambiant which is amazing . still testing and working on better isolation from heat but heres what it looks like so far.

Hey tagggr try using [img] tags. Anyways checked out your scoop, not bad for a first try!

Obviously it's helping you if your intake air temp went from +20 to +1.4 so that is cool! I'd love to see someone measure the intake temp of the stock box that way.

 

Maybe I will stick mine back on sometime soon. I don't remember if it will fit with the boost tap or not.

 

Oh well after seeing this going back to my old factory air box, I have k&n typhoon now.
