New BMC Fitted.

Got this yesterday and my first day off in a long time gave me a chance to fit it.

Its the BMC DIA enclosed induction kit and is made especially for my car. First time i have had a new, purpose made induction kit lol.

This is the way its gonna stay and decided to fit it correctly. So i got an Samco Pipe to connect it to the OE cold air feed and am gonna get the same on the top half to the manifold.



It looks and sounds great, quite subtle and hopefully will give a wee boost, im getting the 52mm Throttle body soon so both together should help the car breath a bit better

I like how its fitted correctly with all the proper parts and not a bit of tape in sight











So another Samco for the top half and its done, all matching colour aswell

Looks good Sammy, bit rainy up there is it?

Lovely and sunny here, just done my car, will get some piccies up later.

cheers guys, yeah it is wet sadly, stayed reasonably dry enough for me to fit it

wonder how much difference the BMC and the new TB when it comes will make?

should it affect fuel consumption do you think?

Looks good there.
Better spend some money and do good then using cheap stuff i always say.
I got a Pipercross Viper and with my 52mm trottlebody i went to 125bhp

im guessing thats on the 1.8 120? so if i went to 115, thatd be cool

Its now a 1.8 125

you could always try the vvc style inlet that will give a little gain ,or go the whole hog and get ptp's 140 kit.

Ditch the viper and get something decent and you will probably get a whole heap more. I did a back to back test many moons ago on my ZR 160 and it actually dropped to 143 bhp from 159 with standard airbox on. Swapping to one of the Quickshift filters and the cold air induction kit that I designed along with Steve and Des from Banshee motorsport gave a good gain and on the same rollers gave 167bhp.

So if i read it good.
You have +8bhp.
The Zs has only 115bhp.
Mine now has 125bhp
Thats +10 with 52mm trottlebody
