Ruien Universal Air Intake Filter Cover Heat Shield Stainless Steel Carbon Fiber Cover compatible with 2.5-3.5" Cone Filter

Product Information

An open cone filter could give less power than standard air filter, if standard air filter is not a restriction. The temperature was monitored on the route to determine the trends in the temperature changes, the max temperatures and minimum temperatures. Due to the laws of thermodynamics, anything that uses energy or performs work will inevitably produce a by-product in the form of heat. A car is no exception to this law and features various components which produce heat, some more than others. In most cases however, heat can have a detrimental impact on the performance of certain engine components. Design 4 gave the best results. Isolating filter completely from engine bay but leaving the filter exposed to the air entering the engine bay. No cold air feed was necessary. Cold air intakes and sealedinduction kits such as the Viper from Pipercross combine an induction kit with a sealed enclosure. This enables the engine to breathe in colder air than even the standard intake system as well as being freer flowing than the standard paper air filter element. However these sealed induction kits do tend to be more expensive than the open type induction kit but they should produce more power.

To test the temperatures on the road, a route was devised which took in Urban Roads, Open Roads and Motorways. Heat shields should surround the cone filter an ALL sides, except the side facing the front of the car so the filter can receive air when the car is moving. Isolate from warm air that has passed through the radiator if necessary. Urban driving: hp gain max: + 6.8hpwhen using heat shields – (intake temps 14C lower with heat shields over standard air box). The cold air feed was routed to receive air from the bottom of the car but the feed ran close to engine and exhaust.This induction kit will increase the airflow into the turbo while increasing engine noise over the restrictive factory air intake system. This kit includes everything required for the fitting of the induction kit.

Ramair Filters utilise the top-quality components in all their kits see below for what this kit will include: The figures used to calculate power gains due to the reduction in intake temperatures are taken from Banks Power, see link. Design 3– Cone filter completely enclosed filter with cold air feed tube feeding from under the car

Most of these articles have temperature in Fahrenheit. (5/9 Celsius = 1 Fahrenheit), or just over half. The best figures from the articles above is from Banks Power which says that for a 5.5C drop power should rise by 1.8%. I tried air filter heat shields in 4 different designs to see which was the most effective at reducing inlet temps. We want to know The idle temperature was taken by running the engine up to operating temperature with the bonnet open.
