[quote][i]Originally posted by Nic Barnes[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by VXR[/i] We're talkiing the difference between quite a few degrees in temperature though. Heat soak creates the initial loss in power. It makes a vast difference. Its kinda like 1/4 miles and turbos. People bang on a huge IC to do 1/4 miles... Its like, heat soak people, your IC isn't going to do a damn thing until 1/2 way down the 1/4 mile. Get a Charge cooler dammit so the charge is already chilled on the line. Even when you start moving, the air inside the engine bay doesn't go away. Its still very hot air, and an open filter will continue to suck in that hot air and loose power. Sure a closed filter will get warm and hence warm the air inside a little more, but as soon as your moving, fresh cool air enters the chamber and cools the overal filter temperature. The filter won't be as poorley effected. If the owner was really anal, they've put heat wrap on the filter -> Throttle body, to keep the charge temp down to a minimum. [Edited on 27-02-2009 by VXR] [/quote] yeah man it effects it, as heat soak does with anything. its just realistically your never going to notice any improvements in performance. people who say they do i just cant believe it. im talking in terms of a c20xe here not high performance this and that. i just think people believe too much of what they read on the box, or from the net that cold feed this and that, carbon 200 quid filter is best when in reality, the only difference they will notice over an open cone is the lack of bank balance.
