Radium Engineering "Cold Air Intake" for the Lotus Evora

Oregon, USA based Radium Engineering have released a new product they claim will release up to 21.5 extra peak horsepower over the OEM intake system for the naturally aspirated Evora along with a significant increase in torque throughout the range. We’ve not tested the system directly but a few TLF members have fitted the kits and are so far very impressed with the ‘seat of the pants’ dyno results and induction sound improvements. The Radium CAI (Cold Air Intake) kit includes everything you need to replace the stock system and they say it takes less than an hour to install, including removing the old air intake. Those who have fitted the kit warn to be careful of dropping any bolts or the like as they’ll end up on top of the engine undertray which leads to a lot of work to retrieve the dropped item. Images are courtesy of Radium but here’s the OEM system followed by an image of their system.
