The f20 I borrowed was filtered but I know probably 10 people who have just run open for years with no issues. Maybe our roads are more forgiving. We don't have deserts and junk!

Wondering what makes a ragged out mercedes awesome?




400,000 miles on an AMG mercedes.

edit: :stare: serviced at the dealer for 400,000 miles too http://www.carfax.com/VehicleHistory/p/Report.cfx?vin=WDDDJ77X08A121147&partner=CDM_U

That this was done in by an accident just before hitting 400,000mi is a loving shame.

How do people running velocity stacks handle dirt and sand ingestion?

Finnegan touches on this in his latest Youtube video. Apparently the screens available for Blasphemi's velocity stacks turn into a surprisingly large power drop (if I hear that video correctly, 200hp!), and even then they filter out large objects, not dust. An airbox with a panel filter would work, but would look nothing like the rest of the gasser he's built.

So he does short oil change intervals and figures he'll rebuild the engine "sooner" than he otherwise would. But mostly:

More seriously, they don't. Velocity stacks are something you run at a racetrack, on an engine that comes apart pretty regularly, and isn't exposed to ingestion events.

Open ITBs are amazing but I have a soft spot for a proper air plenum




I'm really curious on power output differences between an air plenum like this and pod filters given identical ITBs and proper tuning.

Don't worry, it would be masked with the scent of Brut and cherry flavoured lube and loving, so you wouldn't really notice.

Race bikes lead me to believe there is no benefit to pods vs a plenum on ITB's.

Most pods are awful actually - I know anecdotally of a bunch of people who lost a lot of power going to pod filters. A proper plenum, even with a filter in it (or especially) is pretty essential.

That's what I've seen just doing some basic reading over the past day. Even with the high end ITB filters people are seeing noticeable losses. Looks like a large volume plenum with a proper filter is the way to go. A bonus is they look amazing and I have part of one ready to go

On the contrary, there is a benefit for a proper plenum over top of ITBs than ones open to the atmosphere.
