A good cold air feed is so important. The KV6 seems really sensitive to it. The number of 180's that I've seen with a small cone filter slapped onto the standard intake pipe is untrue. I wonder how the owners don't notice the lack of gain.
I did an experiment with my V6 Freelander last year.
The standard filter housing is dreadful as it sits on top of the engine. This causes it to warm the intake charge considerably, I've recorded 55°C!! I thought I'd try a large cone filter instead.
Not wanting to waste dyno time, I just rode my own dyno (the car).
I did a few 1/4 mile runs with both filters fitted.
The result was pretty much what I expected.
No difference between the two. Both filters give the same times.
I'm currently working on a nice cold are feed for my KV6 engine as they are proved to work well.
