What brand of filters are you running on DCI's?

Post some pics of your setup please.

With the right reducer any decent DCI. BMC or K&N is what I would use.

Would love the Injen Setup.

I have DCI's with cheap cones, so looking at getting BMC's now.

But alse been contemplating doing a Helix intake, just looks neater and the gains are the same as DCI's.

Interesting...

I've seen this setup before, although I think I read the gains with DCI's were more? Could be wrong...

With the DCI installed runing Cobb's OTS E30 map his temps would shoot out of control, it was the most bizare thing I have ever seen. I remember another member @Preezzy when he was running Cobb by itself he was having IAT issues also and he was running a DCI setup

OTS E30 with the DCI installed, MAF req was significantly higher 415-420ish @ 5800 RPMs and IAT's were rocketing to 150+°f and with massive timing pulls. With MR.5 Intake installed his MAF req stayed sub 400 @ 6k RPMs, with IATs at 120ish°f, healthy timing, and Waste Gates reduction compared to the DCI setup.

Very interesting... DCI's definitely suffer from sucking in engine heat.

Why not go all out and do the inlets at the same time? Some gains to be had there but a lot of work too.

Best thing, for our climate, is to build a CAI yourself.
As you know, these cars are very octane hungry and limiting IATs helps every bit.
My N54 was better with the stock intake vs open cone filters sucking-in hot air from the engine bay.

N54 FTW though.

The mr5 intake had less heatsoak for my dd.

That would be awesome yes, but alas too much work, I cant spend hours under the car anymore, Im getting too old now :hammerhead:
