VE
AIR BOX
VCM Performance is proud to
announce the release of our new VE cold air intake system.
VCM Suite purchased a new VE Calais V in September of 2007
specifically for product development; kicking off with air
box design.
Although seemingly simple in concept, designing a suitable
air box requires much more than a tape measure. Indeed, the
process kicked off with back to back testing of the factory
‘noise suppression box’ mounted in front of the throttle
body as a means of establishing linear, laminar and
turbulent air flow.
Stage two (2) involved the design of several air box mock
ups with each tested on our chassis dyno before ultimately
deciding on an option that delivered the best ‘sustained’
performance. Repeatability, best gain and the lowest
possible intake temperatures was the target, and we believe
we have achieved what we set out to do.
Stage three (3) had the team testing a new replacement
Intake Pipe (see below for details) with wonderful results.
