Tuning Anybody know about BMC induction kits?

[middo85]

GSR isnt just a hose. Go look at a kit. Hundreds of hours are put into developing them to find the best location for the filter to be placed. The silicone tube then changes in diameter getting thicker and thinner as neccesary to get the air going in there optimally where as a BMC is just a filter on the end of some tumble dryer extraction pipe. GSRs were originally sold with BMC CDAs on but when tested back to back with open air filters peter found they made 0 difference to the power gained so they were dropped.

And maybe if GSRs were available for MGs then they would of been the kit of choice over a universal filter.

Fair doo's, i havent seen one up close, just looked at pictures online.

About the testing, that was my point, if its been proven to be the best then they deserve the reputation.

I will probably get a GSR for mine at some point.

Abarth gives a BMC panel filter only for the SS kit.

I thought the GP SS had a BMC DIA enclosed filter?

 

[punto_matt]

It is. The normal abarth has a uprated BMC panel filter. Can be fitted to the standard Tjet if people want to.

 

[ReaperX]

Abarth has the same filter as the tjet.BMC Filter is included in the SS kit.

that looks like an awful lot of work for the SS kit to be fitted!

 

[ChrisUK]

Should see how much the dealer charges to put it on

You mean fitting isn't included for £4500??

 

[ChrisUK]

Of course not

 

[ChrisUK]

I bet it would be half the price to buy the parts seperately and pay a normal garage to fit them.

Of course that would void your warranty but what the hell. If your gonna spend £15k on a punto who the hell cares about the warranty .

 

[steve119]

I was actually thinking that while watching the video!

 

[punto_matt]

Of course not

It is.

 

[adamcot]

It is.

Yep, kit is £3000, plus £1500 fitting

 

[ChrisUK]

So its not included your paying £1500 for fitting which is just . I had my coupe engine removed, timing belt, water pump, clutch, clutch slave cylander, radiator all new fluids and filters done for £900 all in.

 

[punto_matt]

Well no it is because you said it was £4500+ fitting when its £3000 + fitting.

 

[ChrisUK]

Well no it is because you said it was £4500+ fitting when its £3000 + fitting.

Well what ever . I didn't know the price of the kit of the top of my head. My point is you have to pay for fitting. .

 

[punto_matt]

Of course you do, nothing is free and its dealer labour rate your paying so what £60-70 an hour?

 

[ChrisUK]

Of course you do, nothing is free and its dealer labour rate your paying so what £60-70 an hour?

Probably a bit more in this case as its a fixed price :bang:. But normally yes dealer labour rates vary between £65-£95 an hour .

 

[punto_matt]

So say at £70 an hour its about 22hours fitting lol
