BMC Carbon Dynamic Airbox (CDA) The CDA filtering system is composed of a cylindrical airbox in real carbon fibre, containing a washable filtering element. The choice of the composite material is due to the fact that carbon has a low thermal conductivity allowing insulation from the engine heat to the aspirated air. Replacing the original airbox with the CDA, fresh air is directly channelled to the filter, thermally insulated inside the carbon airbox and is convoyed to the engine through an air flow deflector with a minimum loss of energy. The kit also contains a flexible tube (60cm length) to connect the CDA system to a frontal air intake. The CDA was born as a universal system fitting every kind of car, the different applications are completed by a broad spread of accessories that are necessary for the installation. The CDA is available in two versions: The first with an external diameter of 130mm and is recommended for engines up to 1600 cc. The second with an external diameter of 150mm, For greather displacements.
CDA - Specific Kits There are also a wide range of CDASP applications available. The CDASP kits are complete, ready to mount kits, specifically designed for a particular model. The special kit (SP) often derives from a universal CDA with added, specifically developed pipe fittings and reduction units, while in other cases the CDASP is a number of single components made-to-measure for the vehicle with special flanges and customised sizes.
CDA - Advanced Technology The CDA filtering system is connected to a frontal air intake througha flexible tube. Thanks to the dynamic air intake you get a real supercharging system that conveys fresh cool air to the air box at a speed and capacity grater than the traditional systems. The air flow entering through the dynamic intake is further accelerated thanks to the air flow deflector inside the carbon fibre airbox. Therefor, dynamic over boosting, greater airflow, higher pressure and colder air are the elements assuring a significant increase of the engines performance in power and torque, as demonstrated on dyno tests carried out. |
