well but in all honesty......for those who know about heat soak.....MX5Jade monkey left me for dead up a fairly steeep hill along the straight......on putty road one day

On the Mania CAI..

It really is the bomb in terms of bling and noise, but im not sure whats going to happen on resale...

Has anybody got any suggestions on covering up the hole so mr and mrs buyer dont get suspicious that this beautiful stock NB has a dark past?

I imagine the washer bottle would cover most of the hole?

....and had a full engine rebuild a few thousand Km's ago :!:

(got close to 140,000kms on mine at the moment)

(note - the factory air box that dave is running is mine also....must be a previous red car owner thing....which would explain why it was soooooo close to mine

)

What type of power is your 1.8 producing Steve :?:

Right....well I suppose my point i was trying to make is more like......Heat soak or not. Its still quicker. Or more powerfull.......or at least has more torque. As MX5 Jade monkey accelarated a fair amount quicker up that hill than I did.
we were side by side.I actually probably had an advantage as my exit speed from the corner at the bottom of the hill was a fair amount quicker.

Haha most of the V6 magnas had a nice induction noise...As for the enlarged intake piping, its on the to do list, along with engine rebuild, wash the car, girlfriend etc etc

I thought you put a 1.6 back in it :?:

Are you talking about the engine or the ECU??

The car is running the 1.8 engine from an aftermarket ECU.

Ahhh ok cool

It will be good to see the finished product.

One benefit the cowl intake has over your bumper intake is it will draw in ambient air from the vacuum created in the cowl.

If you're drawing in air from near the radiator (as do I with my car) you'll also be sucking in more radiant heat off the road surface.
