BMC CDA size?

[AliC]

I have noticed that my BMC is alot bigger than the usual, i bought it off someone who had a track westie and didnt get the best picture of it before buying. Could this be a bad thing if the filter is too big i.e trying to put too much air in?

Help appreciated! :y:

theres two sizes i think mate, a CDA130 and a CDA150, the 150 bein the bigger one for larger engines, has it got either of those numbers on it?

Im not too sure, i will have to have a look but i no that it is bigger because iv compered it to a friends and there is a big difference! Do you think this will effect the performance in anyway?

170-30

bmcairfilters.co.uk its all on there, they can be universal, but they do certain dimentions for certain cars ;)

I am aware that the one thats on my car is bigger than the norm, im just woundering if this will effect the performance as it is too big? Cheers

The engine takes in as much air as it needs, having a bigger filter wont force any more or any less in.

Thanks Alex, answered my question pal!

it becomes more efficient due to a better surface area so your engine will have better air flow!
therefore it will give a beter throttle response but that about it
maybe like 0.5 bhp aswell but jack all
hope that helps
do i get rep :P
