I was going to ask about rain getting into the filter. Ive put a ramair cone filter on with a very rudimentary heat shield. I thought about altering the intake scoop but because I’m in Scotland, it’s kinda wet at times and I was a bit worried about water Getting to the filter.

Looks awesome, Are you going to be in a position to sell them? Like I said before would be interested in purchasing?
Again, as above. It may be a silly question, but what about water getting in if it’s raining. Would this not cause problems?Gazzzz said:Hello,
just some new pictures to show you the final product after sanding and painting. It is perfect, it look like OEM part, I'm very happy :lol:
There are of course a lot of similar products out there, this example has been optimised for maximum flow rates and is fully field tested. It is also available in various colours. My wife has had one fitted for a while and the problem has been occasional leaks around the inlet flange.

Just don’t turn your back on her when she’s feeling frisky!
:lol: Very impressive work Gazzzz, I’m watching this thread with interest

Yes, during a verry rainy day it is better to not ride, but I am developing an other small part. We can keep it in the glove box and quickly fix it on the kidney grille in case of unexpected rain. I think it will be finish at the end of the year.

Yes, I definitely think like you! It is really difficult to simulate "air" as a solid environnement. Use a large fan synchronized to vehicle speed on a dyno is not a bad idea but it's not the best way. For the comparison it is like simulate the penetration of a submarine using a water jet...
But after some tests, I confirme that my "internal datalog" say --> It work great !
Honeslty, there is a downside anyway, it makes a little more noise than the original system.
@Ewazix:
You made me laugh, I add humor to the things I already like about the English (beer??)

Do you have any plans of selling some of these as I'd definitely be interested
I really don't planed to sell it initialy but why not.
I must watch if we can be more because it is really expensive for just one (more than 340€).
The price decrease a lot with quantity.
It could be cheaper using antoher material, but not a good idea in my opinon.
If we can be 4 or 5 it is really possible
How to organize a group order? here, on this thread?
As the benefits will increase with speed you’d need a fan that goes up to extremely high speed-I doubt your average tuner/dyno has a fan capable of simulating 150mph+!
You could do basic data logging with an OBD reader and app. I’ve got OBD fusion which can log the data from the onboard sensors-air intake temp, mass airflow, ignition advance etc.

I think we can find a fan like this, but that's not the real solution. It will just blow air. The car pierces (crosses?) the air like a shovel.
That's a verry good option. Is it a freeware? Wich OBD interface do you use?
Thank you everybody for your interest, that is the Z community!!!

Oh man! This made me laugh so hard (just one potential "Typo", did you mean inlet or outlet flange?).Ewazix said:There are of course a lot of similar products out there, this example has been optimised for maximum flow rates and is fully field tested.

Now you are dragging a serious technical topic in to the sewer :wink:
