VW and Audi Performance Air Intake Kits by j1 automotive

FROME, U.K. - July 28, 2013 - PRLog -- The ‘j1’ VAG performance Air Intake Kits have been design to fit into several of the VAG performance car range, including the VW Golf Mk5 and Mk6, and the Audi A3. Engine variants include the TDI range from the 1.6, 1.9 and 2.0 TDI, and the petrol range from 1.8 to 2.0 TSI, which also includes the mighty Golf Mk6 GTI.

The kit comprises of a high quality ABS/PC vacuum formed upper and lower moulding, with a lightly oiled performance air filter and silicone hose. The kit is also supplied with all the necessary clamps and fitting instructions, and can be installed within a matter of only a few minutes, no technical skills are required, and no alternations or modifications are required to any other vehicle component.

Their ‘j1’ logo badge is located on top of the air cleaner cover and is offered in their standard orange colour, however, it is also available in Blue or White. Along with an Orange, Blue or Black silicone hose colour option, the ‘j1’ air intake kit can be installed to co-ordinate with many under bonnet colours and styles.

All j1 automotive performance air intake kits are developed using the latest parametric 3D design techniques, and rigorously tested in-house to evaluate expected performance improvements based on restriction loss, media velocities and filter efficiency. Tests are always conducted in accordance with ISO 5011, using SAE coarse dust to ensures adequate protection to your vehicles engine.

·       Restriction – This regulates the flow of air through the system, minimise the restriction, and gain a greater airflow.

·       Media Velocities – Speed at which air and particles transfer into / through the filter media, lower the velocities, and the greater the chance of particle entrapment.

·       Efficiency – The ratio of dirt held by the filter vs the dirt entering the engine, the greater the efficiency, the better the protection.

Air flow testing has shown that the j1 ‘VAG Performance Air Intake Kit’ reduces the system restriction by 58% when compared to the standard air cleaner - which equates to average increases in power of +8 BHP (on 138 BHP), and +13 BHP (on 200 BHP) on a standard unaltered Golf Mk5. Vehicle dyno testing have also shown an increase in torque of up to 15 lb.ft. at 5625 rpm. Plus subjective evaluations suggest a smoother more responsive acceleration. Indications are that remapped and re-programmed vehicles could show much greater gains.

These kits are available online at www.j1automotive.co.uk or through other online specialist stores, with an RRP of £294 (including VAT). Please also check online to confirm vehicle compatibility.
