BMC for VTR

[harrisvtrkid1]

Bmc make two different types of induction

The DIA

And the CDA

Are these the same just one being carbon??

What are the differences

[harrisvtrkid1]

Assuming you can get both types for a VTR....

Anyone???

[mark_saxo]

ive only heard of the cda

[harrisvtrkid1]

Nah there are two made by BMC

The Carbon Dynamic Airbox

Or the DIA (DIA70-130)

Just wanted to know if there the same or whats the difference

Judging by what i've just read in that link you posted there is no difference in terms of filtering.

Only the casing is different.

I dont recall Carbon Fibre being anything amazing in the heat shielding department over any form of common plastic... but i'll check my notes.


EDIT: I was thinking of Heat Shielding To Price... in which case the carbon fibre is pap. but it is a better heat shield than most common plastics on the market. Put it like this if you were running a metallic casing you'd be doing a lot worse.

They say that...

The Junior Kit by BMC

The operation philosophy of BMC top range product, the Carbon Dynamic Airbox (CDA), is utilised in the DIA using less exotic material and therefore being more economical. This has enabled the production of a system that still gives more performance than a normal shielded cone filter but is available at a very interesting price.
The DIA consists of a plastic airbox containing an air flow deflector and a reusable filter element. Also supplied in the universal kit there is a flexible tube to carry cool air to the Airbox inlet, a connecting tube for easier installation and two reducers that allow the in most common applications (70mm, 65mm, 60mm).
The DIA is recommended for engines having a displacement up to 1.6000 cc .

Just if this is the same principle as the carbon one.. i might aswell save my money just for not having carbon???

[Barry123]

I expect the casing on the DIA to run a little hotter than the CDA - due to the heat conduction properties of Carbon fibre over what plastic is being used on the DIA. unfortunatly i dont know what plastic is being used so i cant tell you the extent of the differences

This means that'll you'll probably end up with a product that work well but not as well as the CDA :)

yup thats right ad your not as daft as you look ;)

[harrisvtrkid1]

So would the sound stil be the same???

Could add on a cold air feed??

Would this be an encolsed filter still???

Does anyone have one??

[Barry123]

1. sound would still be same as the filter is the same - just not the casing.
2. i thought you were suppose to rig it to a cold air feed
3. it has a casing so yeah :)
4. I dont.

[harrisvtrkid1]

Nice1 then... does anyone on the forum have one??

Or are there n e vids or sound clips you no of??

As you werent fully aware of it i guess the answer is no...
