Hello fellow car enthusiast my name is Van and welcome to my channel where I’m all about cars and the community behind the scenes.
We build cars, break cars and gather together to talk about our builds. Anything with 4 wheels let’s talk about it.
I currently drive a 2015 BMW 428i. Vlogging what I do to my car each step of the way I intend to teach and learn from everyone of you car enthusiast out there.
Come join my community: TypeV representing versatility and versions of ourselves to learn and grow.
I appreciate everyone of you that comes to my page commenting, subscribing and liking any of my videos.

Totally not worth destroying an engine in the long run sucking in all that hot air. Short rams suck in hot air too. Creating an icebox would have been a smarter move here and it would have given you a bit of hp across the entire power band. People should be careful the videos you watch because not everyone knows what they’re doing like this guy lol
Very helpful movie🎉, I am having a problem with noise from the b pillar trim on my f32. This is very helpful as I cannot remove the trim without removing the rear seat. By the way, the words "下げた帝国" written on the orange box on the trunk is funny Japanese😊.
The trunk lock is a valet lock, just makes it so you can’t open the trunk unless you press the button thats on the drivers seat of the car, even with the key
Thinking of doing this to my 120d xdrive sport 2013, i have got a stage 1 remap and a piper cross panel filter so hopefully this will give me a nice noise 😊 and hopefully be a bit more responsive on acceleration although it is pretty quick off the mark as it is
Although I don’t have much experience with diesel engines, but I’m sure it’ll help with the air flowing through the intake better. (Just replaced my filter I noticed more dust than usual)
This modification can only be for the attempt of louder noise from under hood. There will be no performance gains, as the holes cut will pull warmer air and/or below atmospheric pressure air into the airbox, which will not burn as hot. Also like one of the members below mentioned, you will want to put some kind of barrier to prevent larger debris from coming into the box.
i remember reading something similar to what you mentioned of "pressure air into the airbox", not sure if its cap, but the pressure is a variable of how the pistons function.
Did this on my 328d. Didn’t notice any gains or sound really. Going to replace stock filter with an AFE performance filter and see if that does something.
We had a decent amount of rain sometime after I did this mod. Nothing happened. My car is pretty low. Also I don’t have a skid plate. Hope that gives you a better idea.
@@ItsVannT Thank you. I like my accord, really silent car. But if I push it I.want to hear it. Thus a noisy exhaust will not do for me. Just want to hear it when I flatten the throttle
So far how does it affect your fuel consumption and acceleration? Is it an improvement over the stock? Hope you can do another uldate video on this mod. Thanks
Thanks for commenting on this video. To answer your question I don’t notice much difference for fuel consumptions but slight improvement in acceleration on mid to higher RPMs. Less lag on throttle. Hope that helps
@@myidham1984 I have put in the filter sounds much better seems that it breaths a lot better. More turbo sounds haha over all not a whole lot different from stock air filter.
🔧🏆👏 This is far better for your engine and operating combustion temperatures than the $300 bolt-on K&N cold (hot, really) air intake people think is wise. One suggestion for others doing this: I’d Gorilla glue some window screen inside the air box over the holes and openings you drilled. It will stop whatever road debris and grit that gets in before it hits the air filter.
Bro I did that too and it instantly increased the intake air temperature. Stock airbox is the best. Ended up jb welding the cut piece back to the airbox.
@PatriotHere first and foremost thanks for the comment. I haven’t noticed any increase in temp and I still currently have this mod going. Although, I did add an air scoop where the air duct on the side of the front grill. So maybe that’s helped. I’ll have too keep a closer eye on my temp. What engine are you running?
@@ItsVannTare you reading your IAT through BimmerLink? My IAT used to be no more than 20 degrees from ambient temperature and with this cut out it’s almost 40 degrees hotter. I have B46 engine, but stock air box is similar to yours.
It still cracks me up when people say I'm going to a car meet! The trouble is you're not going to meet cars or people, you're going to a car show which means you are going to show your car off.
