I was reading the technical training manual for the BMW i8 and came across something very startling. The BMW i8 has an electro-mechanical flap installed on the side of the air cleaner box which shuts off 60% of the air coming into the air cleaner. In addition, the duct connected to this flap was installed as a performance duct, taking ram air in under the car and sending it on it's way to the engine. The flap shuts off air at 3000 RPM and opens at 4500 RPM in order to reduce an annoying noise. However, after making this modification, I noted no annoying noise. Looking at the graphs from dyno tuners, it appears that this flap impedes performance. I wonder how much more power the car now makes after removing this restriction.
