K&N induction kit makes the world of difference!!!!

[ydkSinisteR]

Like i said b4 which no 1 seems to have read is {I had the gear ratio of all the gears extended so they can go longer!!} So i was told by K&N that what the induction kit will do is GIVE more TORQUE in lower gears eg:2nd so now my car can hit 70mph b4 i have to change to 3rd when b4 i use to change at 65mph, so to me it shows that i have added the K&N it does the job as K&N said!

Oh yeh and jus to add the K&N has a real sexy noise to it, its like a nice rattling noise and that adds to the overall effect of getting a kit on it. But can someone explain abit more why they drilled holes into the top of the induction kit, what bennefits will that do for the car if i drill it and if i leave it thanx.
I also have a website with my car and my m8s celica www.ydk.org.uk

if you extended the gear ratio's you've inturn decreased your acceleration.......sensible

Why would you want to drill an induction kit? ?

[ydkSinisteR]

Well my acceleration is the same to me it dont seem any different and the ppl that did it are Professionals i think they know what there doing otherwise they wouldnt do it. And also i swear someone said they drilled 28 holes in their induction kit, thats why i asked that.

do you mean the airbox

[richy]

just get an intercooler, or route the air intake through the air-con

Not necessarily

Why would you want to do that on a naturally aspirated engine?
It won't achieve anything ?

Just to add to the gearing argument ?
It is possible to get a faster top speed in each gear, it isn't completely governed by the gearbox.
For example if you turbo charged an 8v gti you would probably put a few mph on the lower (shorter) gears, on the higher (longer) gears there would be a more noticeable difference, ie. top speed.
The only way to increase speed in gear is for either to change the gears or tune the engine to produce a lot more torque top end. As the gear is only a multiplier of the torque the engine produces.
Just to add also an air filter won't really do enough to increase top speed in gear ?
So in general, a huge increase in torque will increase top speed in each gear, more the higher the gear. As mentioned earlier, rather than being that noticeable the car will reach the top speed much quicker.
