Filters

The Audi RS6 and RS7 are without doubt quick in their purest form, add Revo Stage 1 and 2 software however, they quickly become supercar killers. Giving the cars an even further boost in their already staggering power figures, we turned our attention to developing an upgrade for the air intake system. Testing found that the RS air-box had a tremendous amount of potential, with only a few key areas that caused restriction.The new direct replacement kit includes a Revo foam filter, stepped silicone hoses and an aluminium tag. We installed the kit on an RS7 development vehicle, on our Dynopak hub dyno we saw improved power and torque throughout the rev-range, with consistent gains of +4WHP and +4NM over the stock filter and hoses when used with Revo Stage 1 ECU performance software.  BENEFITS Increased airflow +4 WHP and + 4 NM gain Retains factory airbox Custom designed Silicone Hoses Revo ProPanel filter AIR FILTER The standard paper filter found in most vehicles performs well under normal conditions, however, with increased power it becomes a major choking point in the system. Revo ProPanel filters work by trapping dirt particles within each of the oiled foam layers while allowing air to negotiate its way through, reducing restriction and offering much longer service intervals. We tested the filter at a leading motor testing centre ‘Mira’ on an industry recognised dust load test. On a full dust load test, the foam filter was found to still be 99.3% efficient, filtering down to 5 microns while offering the least amount of restriction over similar products. SILICONE HOSES The plastic hoses on the stock system design with a corrugated style to flex with the engine movement, while this has its place it also causes a large amount of turbulence as the airflow doesn’t have a smooth direct path to the turbos. We designed the silicone hoses with stepped internals to ensure a flush fit and to minimise turbulence while still allowing for engine movement.     INTAKE PERFORMANCE FIGURES Engine Software Power Torque 4.0 TFSI Stage 1 + 4 BHP + 4 NM   *Maximum power and torque increases are shown in testing when using Revo 4.0 TFSI intake system compared to the stock intake on Audi RS7   TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS The following documents are available to view: FITTING INSTRUCTIONS Download the  RA731M200200 Revo 4.0 TFSI Air Intake System Fitting Instructions     FITTING      Manufacturer Model Engine Year Audi RS6 4.0 TFSI 2012 > Audi RS7 4.0 TFSI 2012 >

Revo 1.8 TSI OEM+ System Increased Power, Torque & Throttle Response Overview The new 1.8 TSI intake has been designed to work in harmony with our Revo software. Starting by looking at the OE system we set about deciding where we could improve on the current design, it was apparent from the outset that the factory airbox was more than substantial for the flow of air the car required. The stock airbox is actually about 15% larger than the airbox on the MK7 Golf Gti. So we decided to keep with the airbox on this basis and had one of the Revo  ProPanel filters designed to replace the restrictive OE paper element to allow the turbo to breathe easier. The next section of the factory intake was the OE intake hose which feeds the clean air from the airbox into the turbo. The stock hose is made out of plastic with multiple ridges in it to allow for flex of the intake system under load, however having these ridges causes a lot or turbulence to the air. We re-designed the hose to eradicate this, maintaining the precise OE fit whilst eradicating any turbulence issues. Working alongside SamcoSport ensured the highest quality product, we opted to use high temperature nomex fabric to withstand the heat from the turbo, and automotive grade silicone rubber to avoid fading or perishing over time. The inner ridges made way for smooth inner walls which after testing increased both airflow and speed resulting in more power and flow. To avoid the all too common problem of hose collapse under negative pressure from the turbo, we incorporated an embedded wire helix to prevent this from happening, no matter how much more power you run.   Benefits OEM+ Look New silicone Samco hose to mimic OE whilst eliminating turbulence Increased airflow and speed resualting in better power Optimum performance working in harmony with Revo Software Consistent gains and reduction in restriction + 8WHP Power and + 8NM Torque gains (Audi S1) Kit INCLUDES Revo ProPanel Filter Revo by Samco Intake hose 2 x Hose Clamps (Air box not included)   More Air, Less Restriction Testing was carried out in various ways, dyno, flow and road. On the flow testing we set up the stock system on a flow test bed, The ISO5011 performance test, measures the restriction (measured in mm WG) created by the air filter and any equipment used in the air intake at multiple air flow rates (measured in CFM). The test uses a flow bench to draw air through the air intake at a given flow rate. The flow rate is calculated by measuring the pressure difference using a manometer across a set orifice. A second manometer is used to measure the depression or vacuum created by the air intake. The lower the vacuum created by the air intake the better it has performed in the test. Each component of the system was measured, analysed and improved to enable us to maximise the performance of the intake. The results were great and the complete Revo intake system compared to the full stock OE system showed a 19% reduction in restriction at 400CFM.     Revo S1 Intake Torque Graph Revo S1 intake Power Graph Air Flow Chart   *Dyno testing was carried out on our Dynopak 4 wheel drive dyno and on back to back dyno runs we saw consistent gains between 5-8 WHP and 8NM Torque (Audi S1 Test)      Technical Documents The following documents are available to view: Fitting Instructions Download the RA831M600100 Revo Audi 1.8 TSI OEM+ Intake Fitting Instructions Fitment      Manufacturer Model Engine Year Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.8 TSI 2015 > VW Polo GTi 1.8 TSI 2015 >

Revo ProPanel FilterHigh-Performance Air Filters OVERVIEW The Revo ProPanel is a high-grade direct replacement filter for your vehicle. Designed as direct replacement filters to fit inside your factory air box and are suitable for road or competition use.   BENEFITS Designed to increase horsepower and rate of acceleration Exceptional filtration High airflow with three layers of foam Lifetime warranty Lasts up to 60,000 miles before cleaning is required depending on driving conditions Works with original manufacturers air box   DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE Why choose foam? Because, compared to paper or other filter technologies, reticulated polyester foam achieves optimum performance against three key criteria: Maximum airflow: the ability to allow air to pass through without causing a large drop in pressure. Cleaning efficiency: the capability to arrest a high proportion of airborne dust while feeding the engine clean air. Dust load-up tolerance: the capability to absorb a large amount of dust without reducing airflow capacity. This design of filter has been used in all fields of motorsport from Formula 1 to the World Rally Championship. The range receives this same attention to detail at the design stage and is then taken into production with consummate quality.   THREE LAYER FOAM SYSTEM Revo ProPanel Filters use multi-layered foam technology to trap dust and dirt while maintaining flow efficiency over time. Using foam increases the filter's surface area and is washable, compared to standard paper and cotton filters which trap dust on the surface and become less efficient the more they are used, choking the engine and reducing performance. The outer core is a coarse foam designed to trap larger particles, the second layer is a medium foam designed to trap most particles and the inner core is fine foam which will trap any particles small enough to reach it. The triple layer foam design ensures an exceptional level of engine protection and long-term performance advantage.     1: Stainless steel wire mesh To avoid erosion, only the highest quality steel is used.   2: Course outer layer:  Stops large pieces of dirt and foreign matter from penetrating further. Straightens airflow into subsequent layers.   3: Medium grade middle layer:  This second filtration layer traps most of the harmful dirt that leads to engine damage.   4: Fine inner layer:  Extracts fine particles while allowing full air flow to the engine for maximum power.     ADVANTAGES OF A REVO PROPANEL FILTER Emissions legal in all 50 US states Will not void vehicle warranty Lifetime warranty (to original purchaser with proof of purchase)     FITTING      Manufacturer Model Engine Year Audi RS3  2.5 TFSI  2015 > Audi TTRS  2.5 TFSI  2016 > VW Arteon  2.0 TDI  2017 > VW Passat  2.0 TDI  2014 >

FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION The Revo Carbon Series Air Intake system is a direct replacement kit and includes a beautiful carbon lid designed to increase the flow of air by utilising the enlarged diameter outlet and increased volume. The Revo Panel Filter upgrade replaces the restrictive stock paper filter, and a Revo carbon intake pipe allows air to flow smoothly to the turbo from the airbox, resolving the restrictions found during flow testing of the OEM system to improve your engines response and the power it can create. KEY FEATURES Increases air volume Enlarged airbox outlet Smooths air flow and reduces restriction Direct replacement carbon fibre kit Proven performance benefits KIT CONTENTS Carbon airbox lid Carbon intake pipe Silicone airbox hose Silicone reducer Propanel Filter CARBON AIRBOX LID Manufactured using the highest quality materials, the Revo carbon airbox lid directly replaces the standard plastic part with an increased outlet size of over 13% being fed by specially designed airflow channels. A gloss carbon finish coupled with impressive performance benefits delivers in form and function, looking great in the engine bay yet still performing above and beyond the OEM part. CARBON INTAKE PIPE The newly designed carbon fibre pipe smoothly tapers from the airbox to the turbo, removing the corrugated plastic section of stock pipe and provides the smoothest possible airflow. The 20% size increase and thermal properties of the carbon keep intake temps lower, allowing the 2.5 TFSI engine with Revo ECU performance software to produce more power. PROPANEL FILTER Revo Panel Filters use multi-layered foam technology to trap dust and dirt while maintaining flow efficiency over time. Using foam increases the filter's surface area and is washable, compared to standard paper and cotton filters which trap dust on the surface and become less efficient the more they are used, choking the engine and reducing performance. AIRBOX SILICONE HOSE No detail has been overlooked when reducing restrictions within the stock airflow system. The stock corrugated plastic hose is replaced with a smooth silicone one, reducing air turbulence. A three-ply construction with the addition of fluorine for added protection, increases strength to prevent collapsing under pressure. Internal steps flush fit against the stock air box and the turbo inlet, creating a smooth transition between components ensuring the smoothest airflow. SILICONE REDUCER To ensure smooth airflow from the carbon intake to the turbo inlet, a tapered 4 ply silicone hose has been designed with includes a full fluoroline inner to protect against oil vapour. The silicone has perfectly matched internal steps to reduce any unwanted turbulence through the transition of parts, the steps are match to the outer diameter of the carbon pipe, and the internal diameter of the turbo inlet.   PERFORMANCE Testing was carried out with consistent conditions on both the OEM intake and the Revo Carbon Series Air Intake System on a 2018 Audi TTRS running Revo Performance ECU Software. While dyno testing for performance gains, VCDS software was used to log airflow with a full AEM logging suit used to monitor temperatures. The Revo Carbon Series Intake increased vehicle performance, especially over 3600rpm with 16whp and 31NM gains, highlighting the performance benefits over the stock components.   AIRFLOW The only way to fully test the maximum airflow and restriction was to test both the stock and Revo intake on a controlled Flow test bed. The testing was carried out using a 76mm orifice plate to simulate the size of the stock turbo inlet. The Carbon Series Revo system had far less restriction than the OE unit, at 480CFM the stock unit was seeing 452mmwg restriction while the Revo unit only saw 371mmwg some 21% less restrictive, even at 540CFM the Revo intake only saw 467mmwg restriction and still had more headroom. The graph below shows the flow test and comparison between the OE and Revo intakes.   FITTING   Manufacturer Model Variant Year Audi TTRS 8J 2017> Audi RS3 8V 2018>   DOCUMENTS The following documents are available to view: FITTING INSTRUCTIONS Download the Revo Carbon Series TTRS Intake Instructions
