V6 airbox with ITG panel filter for 182.

[martin_mk3]

im with quade on this one, definaltly extra noise but i also gained power from it over the pipercross viper. assuming the matched inlets gave me 10bhp, the v6 airbox and samco 90' bend gave me 8bhp

where do u get the bracket on the right hand side of the airbox?

The V-6 airbox seems to have a large single cold air feed instead of the twin ones on the 172 'box.
I know that the guys racing in the cup challenge use the V-6 airbox with a performance filter.They also have extra pipework feeding lots of cold air into the filter.
I went out in one of the cup race cars at Brands Hatch in January when we had the marshals track day there. It was awesome!

The metal bracket in photo is part of the battery tray. The rubber strap comes with the air filter box from Renault.

Could someone measure the diameter and length of the air filter box, I'm a bit short on space

thanks

^^ what car Andrew ? It fits in any case, it's TIGHT but fits. Cutting off the edge of the induction-elbow will help a lot to wedge it in.. Do'nt have the car around, sorry i can't give you the dimensions

Great thread. This should be stickied. A lot of good info in here.

Got mine fitted yesterday with the standard elbow and the caf running behind the passenger headlight drawing air from where the acoustic valve used to be but not down into the arch though. I'll try and get some pics up later

 

[oinotna2008]

I have the stock airbox without CAF,do you thing I have lost power?

I have too the v6 airbox,45º degree and 110mm CAF but I have not fitted it yet,do you thing my power will increase when I fit it?

 

[franx]

^^ my guess is that the "round" /cilinder shaped V6 box is better for airflow in comparison to the square one. Worked for me anyway

Has anybody noticed any MPG difference after fitting this? The reason i ask is i'm sure mine has gone down by about 5MPG after fitting the Airbox and removing the valve but i haven't been for a long enough drive yet to test fully.

Had mine fitted approx 3months and noticed no difference to the MPG. Still getting around the 34ish on a combined run and on a motorway blast trip is saying 38ish. I removed the acoustic valve too...

Though with it now fitted, I more often than not plant me foot so you/I hear the induction growl, does wonders for the MPG

Yeah its addictive isn't it. I'll see what its like on a longer run before I make my mind up, cant seem to get above 28 atm :dapprove:

God darn fat finger syndrome lol, now* haha!

I have the benefit of a 24mile (national speed limit) daily commute to work, so that bumps the MPG up a bit, but if I've had a naff day I take the lanes home!

But to go back on-topic, nope, not seen any drastic or dramatic change in fuel.

 

[Dean.]

what do the v6 airbox's do to the mpg?

 

[Dean.]

fail.. ive just read the thread... sorry guys

 

[Pedro]

I still need to fit that hose, my MPG is taking a battering without it.

 

[welsh]

so is this an insurance company mod? i think so just wanted to check, what do you tell them?

 

[bomber]

ive told my insurance company absolutely everything, then my ass is covered. ITG filter with renault espace airbox shouldnt make any difference to premium though

 

[carrmrc96]

Might be selling my airbox with blue silicone elbow and ITG filter if anyone is interested?
