I would have gone with the Gruppe M but then again that would have been rendered obsolete as soon as I had one of the the HPA FT-series turbo kits fitted

I expect to have it done before the end of the year now. Itll be worth the wait though.

If anybody needs any assistance regarding Gruppe M. I'm here to help. (I haven't got one btw)

They are fairly pricey though.

My Japanese isn't amazing, but I have petrol headed Japanese mates.

Has anyone got a drop-in BMC panel filter on their MkV?

I've just had an email from Justin Anderson at Evolution Motorsport http://www.evoms.com saying there V-Flow intake will be out towards the end of next month. I'm holding out for that.
Regal Autosport http://www.regal-auto.co.uk can supply.

I have a drop in BMC filter.

Would your Japanese friends say the Gruppe M kits worth the money? Because the fact is you're paying £350 for a piece of carbon fibre.

V-R32, any more info on the V Flow intake?

Sorry Ed, I think I worded my previous post badly.

I don't personally know anyone who has the Gruppe M intake. I meant I have local mates who could ask technical questions in Japanese if anybody here needed more info.

You're totally correct though, if they made the part from another material it would slash the price.

Are you unhappy with the panel filter, or is the air intake the first of many planned mods? I can't remember if you have a remap? I've heard of people getting MAF errors due to oiled cotton-gauze filters.

I know a few MkV R's on vortex have the Gruppe M system fitted. You may be best to enquire over there.

Ah ok. A few people I've spoken to who have them on their Civic Type R's, Integra Type R's etc rave about the Gruppe M kit. Say the improvement is vastly noticable, great bit of kit etc.

At the moment I'm running stage 1 Revo remap with the BMC Panel filter. I never really 'tested' the filter without the remap so my general impression could be a little hazy.

I'd say it's noticeable, but nothing to write home about. As its so much more free flowing than the standard filter, it comes into it's own in the higher speed band -60mph+. The difference was noticeable when you put your foot down.



Stock on the left, BMC on right.

As you can see the stock filter is basickly made out of paper, I thought it was a joke to be honest.

This is my RR results with just the BMC filter on, with only 1200 miles on the clock.

Where did you buy the BMC from?

Both pics appear the same to me, could you post up the RR data please old chap

I got mine from a local Top Gear branch. They're stockists for BMC and have garages all over the country.

Another good place is APS. They will send them out in the post for you and are a top company.

Graph now up. I got 3 differnet graphs and to be honest I don't know the difference.

Car made 242.5bhp and 243lb/ft. I think book figures are 249bhp , not sure about torque though. This was done at Surrey RR, a reputable set up.
