Does someone try Carbon Dynamic Air box from BMC ?

Hello,

First of all, my english is not great and I don't know all technical words to tell about this. Please forgive me ! In one my past car, I replace the air box with a BMC CDA :





It was just fitting the space form the original box.



It was a small 1.6 liter engine but with a custom remap and this part, it goes from 153 Nm to 169 Nm and from 103 HP to 113 Hp.



According to me, it was a nice upgrade for my old small car.

I was wondering if using a BMC placed in the axle of the air intake with some kind of adapter from cylinder to a large flat schnorchel could give a nice power/torque bump.


PS : I search for BMC and CDA but I got no answer.

If the airbox flows better than the stock unit then yes you may get a small increase. I think a custom remap will yeild the biggest results though. There is a good chance very few people have done this specific mod as yet so maybe you should try and let us know how it goes?

I'm still waiting for my BRZ ! She's on the boat... I will ask to th guy who already tune some of my past car what he thinks about this. BTW, I dont't know if he is still active.

If I make some modifications on the car, I will post dyno before and after.

PS : The dyno chart I have posted was with BMC and remap.

The factory intake has been shown to be very efficient. I wouldn't bother with the BMC.
