As a follow-on to messing around with standard airboxes, documented in this thread http://www.ilambretta.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14074&p=128613&hilit=tale#p128613
I have recently bought another large volume air box from SR, Nottingham to retire the holes drilled in the airbox mod. This means the TV is now breathing fresh, cooler air rather than very hot air under the panels
This worked well to and from Arundel at the week-end with no jetting mods required
This means both my TV and SX are running large volume air boxes with the standard shape BGM stainless mesh filters
I'm now interested in improved filtration a standard paper filter would/could offer versus the stainless mesh fitted to the large volume airbox
Aside from the marketing talk on performance improvements the BGM mesh filter offers, has anyone got any evidence (dyno or otherwise) what air flow impact a standard paper filter compared to the mesh style?
If the impact is minor, improved filtration, reduced top end wear and tear could be a compromise worth considering
