Will the ribbed inside of that intake hose restrict air flow? I'm no expert just seems everyone uses hard pipes or silicon hoses with smooth insides and gentle bends. Experts please correct me if I'm wrong.

No expert here either, just my dad's SLK has a ribbed intake hose OEM so I guess it's no issue

Something, something, path of least resistance.

Looking good Faisal! Keep us updated!

Sorry for not posting any thing lately i was busy with school and other stuff

i faced a lot of issues tho :
1- i did a intake manifold clean, On my way home after taking the car from the shop suddenly no boost and weird engine sounds pulled over and open the hood to check whats
wrong turns out they didn't plug the MAP sensor right, plug it back and start the engine same weird sound and check engine light on and RPM don't get over 2.5-3K
bring it back to the shop and then find out that the throttle body was stuck, they claim that the ECU did a lock on the throttle body due boost leak from the sensor but i didn't
believe them !:mad:, at the end they fix the throttle body and the result was amazing, better response and when you floor it feels like it want to jump, better and crisp exhaust sound !

2-Had P0139 and P0140 fault code to i change the oxygen sensor, but it came back after a while bcuz my cat-less downpipe with stock map .

3-P1337 fault code-ignitin coil cylinder #1 so change that, much better performance so change them all coils :cool: bcuz all of them was rusty :redface: .

There are better ignition coils, click http://www.okadaprojects.com/usa/products.htm Look at the Plasma direct and Plasma ground, in the applications list for both products, follow the MINI links, model variant code R56 R55 or R57


4-all dampers need to change, our street is very bad and bumpy so need to change em'.

Coming MODs:

1-KW V1 Coilovers a must !!!
2-Custom intake box with air duct hose from the fog light.

You really should be aware of the air flow turbulence restriction of the ribbed duct tube you are intending to use in comparison to smooth Walled tube, furthermore, the tighter the radius the greater the flow restriction !!

3-New turbo Frankenturbo F21 with E-tuners for sure!!!!



still have more plans and mods coming up

also i found out this i think its due the oil steaming but no sure tho :confused:

It will indeed.

Czar can give you science for that answer.

Thank you Jamie, if a scientific answer is required on laminar flow, then I will write one, on a fresh thread, let me know !!

Vehicle manufacturers are subject to two key factors, reliability and cost, cost being the major factor over reliability, so although a ribbed tube plays havoc with flow, whether the ribbed tube is dry or wet, steel wire ribbed tubing is by far the cheapest option.

Something, something, air will always take the path of least resistance.

So I was right?

I can't beat prices on these out of the UK, across Europe they're far cheaper.
That's Brexit for you no doubt.

OBD Boost readings

I have using OBD and the Boost peak was 1.2bar
I tried aging after removing boost pipes and intake and BOV, 1.0bar
And I'm on stock remap and the stock peak is 0.8 !
I have only full exhaust and intercooler
How can i know is at real or the OBD reading is not correct ?

[Chris_Blue]

My standard boost was 0.7bar
With a sportscat, bigger exhaust and SPTuning remap went to 1.3bar at peak

You can tell it works by hitting the accelerator pedal

[Drummond Base]

You cant tell it works by hitting the accelerator pedal

Drive at 3500 RPM in second gear for for a few second then stamp the accelerator fully down, you will know.

You are both referring to the over boost function, this is only activated on quick actuation to wide open throttle, the over boost only lasts for a maximum of 12 seconds on each subsequent quick action to wide open throttle, it delivers 150 mb (millibar) or 2.17psi

Makes me smile though

Typo in my post.. have removed :-)

[Jamie@SPTuning]

Overboost function is only activated in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gears. During overboost the maximum duration for torque increase is 20 seconds. Amount of actual boost increase varies, it is factored depending on air inlet temp and RPM.

Intercooler Water Spray

Hello all good day, i was having this idea for a long time but i didn't have the time to make it happen, the main resine i did this system is, the weather here in KSA is very hot and
low quality fuel, we only have 95 octane, so im not getting all that pawa from the engine, also i want to take advantage from the intercooler so i did a very easy simple and cheap mod/install it cost me 22$ only
the idea was to plug a tube from the rear windshield pump and mount a nozzle front of the intercooler to spray water by just pressing the rear windshield spray button on the
steering wheel
P.s i have Rear windshield delete so im not using the it anyway

now i will show you the parts i did used and how i did it

3meter 5/16 tube


3x Small Clamps


This the best nozzle i did find but it did the work right



5/16 No return valve, This is very IMPORTANT part without it you can't use the system, you can tho but the nozzle will leak water and the intercooler will be full of water, i think
you will not like that
i did install the system without it, after spraying the water the nozzle start to drop water and it won't stop, so this piece is a MUST, btw i didn't used or test the system yet
i ordered the valve one week a ago and it arrived today so by tomorrow i will install it and test the system.


And you will need zipties for sure


First things first you have to remove the front bumper :rolleyes:


Then you will find the windshield water tank with the pump

There is two tube lines, the one on the right is the front windshield line so you leave that as it is, the tube on the left side is the rear windshield line so you will unplug the tube and plug the new tube

After math :cool:



So what do you think ?
