Induction Kit helper
Increases the performance of your car by upto 5%, fits with bracket behind the grill, the extendable aluminium tube takes air from the grill and increes air flow around the filter
£49.00 (inc VAT)
Seems kinda pricy for some fancy tubing u can probly get and do urself for cheaper. but i do admit this kit does look better, what does everyone think?

And how could they prove on an RR that it improved bhp? no RR I've ever used had a 60mph wind blowing through it!

When on the road, put a boost gauge on it, I bet you don't see 2psi.

Hey mate, dont shoot the messanger! If it only smoothes out my flat spots i'll be happy.

The thing is if you only want to reduce flat spots, this is a very hit and miss approach. Assuming that you do improve the volume of air going into the carb (a big assumption) then this will only help if your mixture was rich to start with. If the flat spots are being caused by a lean mixture it'll be worse.
At a guess, if you have non-standard induction and exhaust but a standsrd dizzy, the chances are that the timing is the main cause of any flat spots. although looking at the photos it all looks standard.
The other thing I notice is that the air box has holes drilled in it, to get any benefit from a cold air pipe you'll need to block these up. I appologise if you have already mentioned that you plan to do this.

also, the holes in the airbox together will more than likely greater the hole where the filter goes so air will opt to go through them instead. If your having flat spots etc its prob due to what you have done with the airbox. Removing the restrictions and allowing better airflow will need slight fuel adjustment.
try fitting a standard airbox unmolested on. if it solves the issue then just leave it or you can try giving the fuel 1/8th turn richer.

Please note that i am not trying to be awkward and i appreciate the effort and the time it is taking people to reply. I am not hiding the fact i know little about the topic in question and i am sure you are all plenty more knowledgable than me.

In my opinion its just a big waste of cash/time/effort, if there were any gains to be had from it then surely everyone would be using them...

but anyway, even if its not too functional, i would think that would be some extra marks for the engine bay as well! personally i likes the look and layout of your engine bay, MrMini.
