BUSA = Optra LOVER

But lets not jump to conclusions ok ok... Let some bhpians drive and see how the toque etc feels in Optra and let some figures for magazines come out as they are just a rough estimate (for me). And u cannot compare verna to Optra. The more fast the Optra goes better it handles where as its scary on verna at 150 steering feel is not good.

Comparission is since Verna is 110bhp, Optra 120bhp and the Verna SX costs around 9.15L where you can get a Optra Max with the TDCi engine and hence the comparission. Somebody posted a review here

He is the verna owner and saying that Petes tuning box will increase power to 138ps. He has not asked for Optra's power i think.

I was just saying Optra with a 2.0L block gives 120bhp so a Verna with a 1.5L block giving 110bhp when Peted wont give you 138bhp.

Petrefied Getz CRDI

If the car is made available from the naval canteen stores in Cochin I shall be buying one pronto when its released in Kerala which is any time next month. Once the running in period is over I intend to plonk in Pete's box originally made for the VERNA and also Green cotton twister. Since the engines are similar I presume I will then have a good competitor for my Palio GTX at least in straight line acceleration if not in the twisty's and engine reliability. The only problem being that the car is guaranteed for 2 years according to the sales person and any modification will nullify the guaranty.

Has anyone here driven the Verna with a Pete's box and how does it compare to the OHC vtec?

Bye and wear your seat belts.

Twisters not for Turbo

I had a look up of the Green Cotton website and the Twister section mentions in bold letters that they are not to be used in turbo charged vehicles. Wondering why not?

Twisters and turbo charged engines

Apparently the Twisters are not to be used for any turbo charged vehicles.
Here is a copy and paste of what is written in their website.

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=4][COLOR=#000000]AIR FILTERS (UNIV TWISTER)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]Universal All Makes[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]
Twister is a revolutionary new universal filter with an aluminium heat shield which helps to funnel as much air into the filter as possible. The shield helps to create a vortex to maximise the airflow through the filter.
It also acts as a shield to protect it from engine bay heat. The top of each filter has a moulded twist in it to help spin the air into a vortex for improving air flow through the filter.
NOTE: These are not suitable for Turbo Charged vehicles
These filters are a universal application available in different sizes. Please check the induction system of your car prior to ordering.

That is right the "TWISTER's" are for NA engines. But the WIND and the STORM can be used on both NA and TURBO engines.

Any tests on air flow of Green filters?

Has anybody got any links to any tests done on Green filters similar to the test done here. K&N failed the test miserably as far as dust throughput is concerned.
ISO 5011 Duramax Air Filter Test Report

I am intending to take the plunge and fit the Green Storm onto the GTX which I later intend to fix on the Getz CRDI after I sell the GTX. I will do this after market swap only after I get confirmation regarding its filtration capacity and efficiency.

Please post some links, Thanks
