Should You Buy the Mountune Cold Air Intake System for you Fiesta ST150?

Should You Buy the Mountune Cold Air Intake System for you Fiesta ST150? | CAIS Tested

In this video I decided to revisit the intake temperatures and see how my new Mountune CAIS compares to the Ramair cone filter which I used to have and also the factory airbox. Using temperature sensors placed as close to the throttle body as possible (without the risk of them being sucked in) I monitored them with a digital dash clock given to me by UNA performance. The air was to find out whether the Mountune CAIS does what it states and get some indication as to whether, based on the principles underpinning cold air intakes, the Mountune system is likely to yield any power gains over the standard airbox and the much debated cone style filters. I hope you enjoy the video, let me know your thoughts in the comments - Do you think it's worth it? Are you going to get one?
To get the TOPDON JS2000 Portable Jump Starter you can get one here: www.ebay.co.uk...

Air flow is just as important if not more than temp. I have had 2 of these both with K&N57i. I remember seeing a magazine test in 2006 which showed how restrictive the stock airbox is and every induction kit made more power than the stock system.

@DatPenguin97 Жыл бұрын

That's what my "question" is sort of. The stock system might be better suited to make a bit more torque lower in the range and I'd love if someone would go into more detail about that 🤔

on a trackday i had intake temps of 50-60°c with the factory airbox (ambient was like 25-30) and with the ramair it got more down into 35-40 but i have a selfmade cold air feed going into it

Good test that we’ll done, I’ve always dropped a k+n panel filter in my air boxes but always added an extra cold air feed to it and I will always do that

Thanks mate, sounds like a good idea that as from what I’ve seen cold air feed seems to make a big difference

For me, I’d say it is, I think they really look the part, and from my testing it seems functional as well. In terms of performance it’s going to give negligible gains on its own but as a supporting mod coupled with what I’ve got coming I think it will be worth it
