Lotus Evora - BOE Cold Air Intake Instal

[@aaronpritchard4151]

Time to drive and record the noise! Good how-to

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

Yes. Indeed. Video coming soon. Just did a time trial with the car today.

[@ZenonMotorsports]

I need to start doing more Philly SCCA events to see this thing in action. The ride along you gave me last year at Ripken was killer

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

Haha. Welcome. A passenger helps corner balance the car. Lol

[@helmernachbaur5880]

that's what i'm thinking about doing on my evora400, thanks for all those helpfull tips :)

[@helmernachbaur5880]

goal would be to have the car running less rich

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

On the 400 it will really pump up the sound of the supercharger. The motor is easily 5-10% louder.

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

@@helmernachbaur5880 Lotus has the car tuned to run rich. I don't know if anything short of a reflagged ECU will help that.

[@helmernachbaur5880]

@@GoodmorningGoodnight yeah, i got to put a bigger flow intake and then have the ECU map redone to smooth it out. But at least i've the replacement of intake covered now

[@Themiddleagedkid]

Just an FYI... my bagged hose was zip tied to a wire harness underneath the airbox. No idea if the factory did that or not but I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't come out. Also per the BOE instructions that intake hose is supposed to be wrapped around the intake inlet instead of inserted into it.

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

Yes you're right. I removed that zip tie in an earlier video. And I forgot to mention it in this video. I had removed it previously to gain access to the shifter cables. Good FYI. I do remember struggling quite a bit with that bag until I eventually found it the first time!

[@Themiddleagedkid]

@@GoodmorningGoodnight Your video really helped me. I felt a difference today when I drove it. I was in third and put my foot into and it was a noticeable change over the stock box. I already have the plack as well and they seem to compliment each other. I am getting a resonance in the cabin at around 4200 RPM's or so but it is what it is.

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

@@Themiddleagedkid excellent. I agree there is a small but noticable difference. With the Plack exhaust you learn to live with some resonance. It's part of its charm " ? "

[@gymwearuk]

Hello. Did you ever do a before and after video after installing the new air intake? Thank you.

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

@@gymwearuk I never did a formal after video. I need to get that done. I did run the after at the national autocross in New Jersey. I've got to get some of that video out. I'll work on that. Good reminder.

[@kyalwaysnever]

I wonder if it's the same concept as the emira

[@kylebrown2035]

I need a Lotus Evora.

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

Wanna co drive at an event?

[@iamfee]

Rotors next ? I have the same “grooved” cross drilled rotors front and back.

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

Ideally yes, sometime in the future. I'd like to do lightweight two-piece rotors to reduce rotational mass

[@bboixtc]

Trippin at 17:56

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

Let me take a look. I should be able to cut that part out

[@bakhteria]

good yo c u back working on the veora. hope u do a coolant flush video at some point.

[@super679theoriginal]

I brought mine to a lotus tech (Victory) in NJ who said that the coolant in these last the lifetime of the car, curious to see what yall think?

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

@@super679theoriginal that would be great... I'll have to do some research

[@bakhteria]

@@super679theoriginal I’ve heard that too but I want to make sure. I only have 5,500 miles in my car after almost 10 yrs but I change the oil annually anyway almost every 600-700 miles. I know it seems like a waste but it’s an easy enough thing to do. I also do my break bleeds every other year. So I want to make sure of the same thing with the coolant.

[@super679theoriginal]

@@bakhteria I have had my 2010 for 4 years, got it at 13k miles and put 13k on in the first year. I change every 7k miles and send oil samples to blackstone labs for oil testing. According to their reports I have a very healthy engine. I do the breaks and clutch every other year and I swapped in dot 5.1 because of the heat issues going over 100 on the highway for extended periods. I drive like a maniac, and I can confirm this car is bulletproof. Love mine

[@slandry1728]

Did you have to add the vaccum pod for the sport exhaust? Great video.

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

Vacuum pod was not necessary for my car since it doesn't have the switchable exhaust.

[@911gpd]

Good morning good night my friend :) I was wondering : what exhaust do you have on the evora ?

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

The loudest and lightest. There are exhausts that may have a more refined tone, but none quite as simple as this. It deletes o the third cat, and goes straight back. Plack exhaust, plackedition.com/

[@911gpd]

@@GoodmorningGoodnight it sounds Amazing ! Was it 'simple' to install ?

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

@@911gpd indeed. Un bolt the old one. Bolted on the new one. No real tricks there.

[@911gpd]

@@GoodmorningGoodnight thx for the answer :)

[@gsmoto9790]

forgetting the weight and change in sound, how does it feel when driving? Faster throttle response? Faster car?

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

The claim of an additional 20 horsepower seems unlikely. The car feels fast, but not sure that I can tell a real difference. I will say I performed very well in both the autocross and track sprint I did recently - more anecdotal evidence. I wouldn't say I feel much of anything different. But it is a bit louder, if you like that type of thing. I'll get it dynoed some time soon to see what we're up to. If it it's over 280hp I'll be happy.

[@super679theoriginal]

The T badge in “lotus” on the back is falling off of mine. Curious if you have seen or know what to stick it back to the paint with?

[@IceColdH2O]

get it off, itll be a one of one lous

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

Yes... Recommend to use 3M DC 2005 adhesive. It's a foam adhesive specifically designed for holding exterior emblems
