The Intake Spacer Kit for the 4.0 V8 Biturbo 476 hp / 510 hp is a simple plug & play solution to noticeably increase the immediate engine performance and response without software adjustments. The efficient design starts exactly where the restrictions of the original intake are and eliminates them. By modifying the lower air filter box in accordance with the enclosed instructions, the air intake area is increased from 3,800 mm² to over 10,000 mm². This and the use of sports air filters unleash the maximum potential.
The restrictions of the original intake system lie in the cold air supply and the height of the lower air filter box. Due to the low height, the original paper air filter protrudes into the intake opening and considerably restricts the cold air supply.
We recommend the use of sports air filters for maximum power output. With standard engines, an increase in performance of approx. 20 hp has been observed, with performance-enhanced vehicles up to over 30 hp. The 100 - 200 km/h acceleration improves by 0.25 sec compared to the use of sports air filters without the Intake Spacer.
The intake spacers are made from high-quality PA6-CF (carbon fiber-reinforced nylon), which has outstanding thermal and mechanical properties and is therefore ideal for use in the engine compartment. In addition, it is characterized by a unique surface quality due to the high carbon content. The black screws and fitting sleeves ensure an original engine compartment look.
