Intake & Airflow? Help please

[jamiebennett81]

As some will know, I am messing around with the air intake at the moment, but could someone explain something to me

due to the pre facelift bumpers, I am very limited to what size intake port can be fitted and the cold air feed piping

Currently the air feed is sitting at the bottom of the bumper, but about a 1/3 of it is covered as the gap is 50mm and the piping is 90mm

the next logical step is to remove the fog as the hole for this is 80mm, therefore a 30mm increase over the initial intake hole

now would there be any difference if I still run an 80mm port, but instead of running the 90mm cold air feed, I fit a 102mm cold air feed?

in essence my question is, can something only flow as much as the size of the intake allows?

I guess fitting the largest cold air feed cant do any harm though....

Fog light out and a nice 80mm feed to the filter should help, T

The filter/intake is only ever gona take as much as it needs, a good size feed without any restriction is all you need.
