As induction kits are probably one of the most popular modifications for car tuning projects we thought we should add a introductory article to explain what they are, what they do and the theory behind them.
An induction kit is quite simply an air filter. Most cars have air filters mounted in an air box. These filters are generally constructed of paper which filters out the particles from the air and prevents these from getting into the engine. The airboxes are designed to reduce the noise of the engine and have various vanes and angles cut to maximise this noise reduction.
Gearbox Remapping
We look at ways to improve gearchanges on your automatic gearbox. Remapping the gearbox will improve shift times, improve acceleration and provide a more lively drive. So OBD port engine tuning/remapping of modern gearboxes is possible and certainly a mod you should consider.
