Hey BHP!

Nice nick you have there. Welcome aboard. How about some comments on the K&N and free flow?

hey pal,

welcome to t-bhp & the ikon owners club. have a ikon 1.6 with k&n and free flow too....

cheers

bhp · 20th July 2004, 16:25

yeah lamborghini i have witnessed an increase in the performance with the k&n and the free flow .
i have an increase at about 10-12 hp.
it gave a boost to the pick up and in high speeds too.
the k&n is just amazing man and the work done by automech is cool .

bhp · 20th July 2004, 16:29

hey do u guys know where can we get a hub for the ikon . it is not available in the market .

Hey Bhp,

How did you arrive at that figure for your hp increase?

bhp · 20th July 2004, 19:26

i had got the configuraton of my car got checked from the ford service station . they have some machines by which u can come to know . the ppl frm automech also had told me that you will increase yr hp by installizing the free flow and k&n .

ravi_28_8 · 20th July 2004, 20:02

hey good to see u here.......... good nick name.

Rehaan · 20th July 2004, 20:10

Hey Bud,

IMO a 10-12hp increase from just a K&N and Freeflow is rather unlikely!
Also i doubt that the ford service station has a dyno to measure horsepower! (would love it if they did however!)

And it is true that the free flow from automech and KnN will give you more hp, but 10-12hp is a bit optimistic!

cheers

bhp · 20th July 2004, 20:30

yeah rehaan they have a dyno to measure the hp at the ford service station at goregaon (mumbai)

Rehaan · 20th July 2004, 20:40

BHP !!!

That is some great news!!!!
Are all you TBHPians listening?

?

Now we just have to find a way to get permission to use that thing!

cheers

Hey even i think a 10-12 bhp gain is unlikely. Unless maybe the stock exhaust system really robs power from it's engine.
