OK Sean
Why do you need to hear what "the engine-maker" says, why is this engine any different from any other combustion engine?
Why do you always find it so difficult to accept what
1. World renowned engine tuners say
2. Physics says
3. Any one who knows anythng about engines says
I say show me sound data that says that cold air induction does nothing or is detrimental.
Every performance internal combustion engine you can name strives to minimise under bonnet and induction temps, to reduce detonation, improve consistency of fuel air ratios and get maximum power, whats not to like about that
To challenge the logic of cold air induction challenges one of the basic principles of internal combustion engine tuning.....or maybe you've discovered some new law of physics that circumvents basic principles.
It is irrefutable that on a like for like engine, the one with a well designed cold air induction system (versus one drawing hot air from a semi-enclosed engine bay) will perform better.
Plus (my other point) if you run open trumpets, socks, K&Ns etc its more difficult to tune the carburation for "general" use, its jetted to suit the environment in the engine bay and not what is going on in the real world.
Taking air from outside of the semi-enclosed engine bay allows you a better chance to tune the car for the "middle ground"
Discuss (using sound scientific principles not some myth and hyperbole)
I'd be very interested to hear what the engine-maker says on the subject of cold/hot air intake via airbox/under-bonnet filters.
