- Welcome to newest episode where I tackle a hot topic in the automotive world: the effectiveness of upgrading to a cone-shaped air intake in a small turbocharged engine. We've seen countless discussions online about whether it's worthwhile to replace the factory air filter with an aftermarket intake system. To provide you with a definitive answer, we've conducted a comprehensive test using the MST Performance air intake on a 1.4 turbo ZC33S engine (Swift Sport)
In this video, you'll witness a detailed and informative journey through the entire process and its effects. We start with a pre-upgrade dyno measurement to establish a baseline for our test vehicle's performance. This is followed by capturing the sound of the stock engine, providing you with an auditory benchmark of the car's original state.
Next, we dive into the heart of the video - the installation of the MST Performance air intake. This segment is not just about the installation process; it's an insightful look into the technical aspects and the design of the air intake system. We take you step-by-step through the installation, making it an informative guide for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
After the installation, we showcase the modified engine's sound. This is where you'll really notice the difference. But it's not all about the sound. We return to the dyno for a post-installation measurement, providing concrete data on the impact of the air intake upgrade on the engine's performance. This comparative analysis will give you a clear understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of such an upgrade.
Filmed entirely in Lublin, this episode is packed with practical insights, technical details, and real-world testing. Whether you're a car enthusiast, a professional mechanic, or just curious about car modifications, this video offers valuable information and a thorough examination of upgrading a small turbocharged engine's air intake.
