Hardly relevant as he's not looking for the last 1.2333 recurring bhp !
LOL - still in air-box denial I see

More than that. Anyway try it - unbolt the fan and leave the pulley.
Nissan used a cold airbox originally. it was red and made of metal. If you dont like the modern version then fit an original one.
whatever you do bin the K+Ns as they will just be sucking hot air into the engine.

DONT underestimate the effect of engine bay temps, even in Scotland you will see 40 -50 degrees with the bonnet closed.
Warm air = less dense air = less power.....basic principles
We have seen several 10's of HP with and without an airbox, but thats down to proper recording and use of data not "that'll do boy" engineering
The car does not seem down on power to me at the moment in fact seems pretty healthy, one of my freinds is a top mechanic who will help with some stuff, he works on various cars and after driving the car also believed it to be putting out around the 150BHP mark

Not at all - I merely stated that he wasn't looking to gain the last bhp possible as others here for nefarious pruposes.
And stop with the "I can prove that one gians 10s of bhp" - I'll allow you 15bhp on a top tuned engine and that's yer lot with perhaps some improved reaction times.
Mr Gaskin - is that a fan in front or behind the rad ? Joke man - JOKE !
That mechanic must be part robot part man to tell the bhp of a car from driving it!!
Seriously andrew take the information on board from the advice you have been offered on this forum, you will be much better off achieving your goals that way
I bow to the expert who has clearly done all of this testing and has a 300 hp engine
