Sean you do a unique way of intimating that you disagree (maybe its a language thing who knows) with comments like
Quote:
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.
which I take as a direct challenge then when someone supplies data to the contrary you quickly do an about face with
Quote:
I do not seek to 'debate' your findings merely add to and broaden them
A) Then do NOT take that as a challenge and simply as it was intended - merely the opinion of the engines' builder in question
B) I refuse to be held responsable for YOUR mis-interpretation of what I say wehn it's down there in black and white 'I ***** agree with you'
C) no about turn (see 'B' above)
D) I don't want to pick words with you, I want to simply discuss more broadly the whole concept of warm and cold air upon an engines performance.
I confess that I don't agree that it's ALL about an airbox and nothing else but I do NOT refute your findings - I don't know how else to say it Steve - will you stop p*ssing around sounding like a wounded victim and let's discuss more seriously.
If you start laying down discussion rules eg if I don't have 20 pages of r-road backed data I can't play, so be it - I won't.
I haven't been on here for 2 YEARS and you're acting like it was yesterday - move on mate - I have
I have considered an airbox for my L31EFi - I have one here ready but dismissed it because.......I prefer the more classic look of shiny bling K and Ns. Guess what, I don't care if I love 20bhp - I'm building a road GT and not a flyway express* so although I'm more than convinced that having an airbox is the best....I'm happy to settle for lower down the evolutionary level but that doesn't mean that we can't agree on airboxes and open the discussion.....does it ?
*that'll happen with my other shell and another L6 3.2 EFi engine with an airbox and cold-air induction but that's another story
.
Oh, and I don't like CF, either real or copied on my early '70s S30 but that's just my taste mate - love n' kisses.
