Homemade induction kit.

[Burty182]

I have bought all the parts to make my own induction kit but I have a problem. I can't fit the filter in front of the battery. How have other people done it, by removing the battery?

 

[Cupman29]

Smaller diameter and longer filter?

 

[John Gordon]

I undid the battery and pushed it back as far as it would go. That gave me some room for the filter, and mine is far too big.

I used the same size as everyone else.

Did it fit after u pushed it back a lil?

 

[Cupman29]

Do you have a bigger battery?

Any pics?

If your battery is a 075 part number then you have the bigger battery rather than the 063.

Nope standard battery.

Here's a pic of the filter.

Does anybody have the diameter of the throttle body? Where the silicone goes on? Thanks

 

[John Gordon]

Same sort of size as mine, Mine has the excessive inner cone too. I just sprayed the crap out of mine with K&N oil to make sure it actually filters and squashed it in as best I could.

If you swap to an 063 battery it gives you more room, thats what we did when the mrs fitted our RS2.

The silicone it self is 70mm inside dia I think.

 

[Sam@NP]

That looks very tidy Chip!

 

[Burty182]

So u pushed the batt back and fitted okay? That looks perfect.

 

[Addicted]

That filter looks a little bent!

 

[Burty182]

If your battery is a 075 part number then you have the bigger battery rather than the 063.

How can I check that?

 

[Chip-mk1]

That looks very tidy Chip!

Thanks mate

My mrs is OCD about stuff looking tidy, she didnt do a bad job considering the conditions she was working in fitting the RS2 while it was pissing down and I had cars in the garages I was working on so she couldnt get into them with hers, lol.

 

[Chip-mk1]

How can I check that?

If you cant find a label on, measure its length.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Careful of the fact that the back clamp is the live one, and the metal cover on the ecu makes a good earth, you dont want the two coming together.

aren't those cheap filters paper rather than cotton gauze? you don't want to be oiling a paper filter. You can't clean them either

I managed to squeeze my huuuge green filter into place with a bit of bending and cutting.

[Chip-mk1]

Wow thats certainly filling all the space up mikes86

[MDP91]

That is how its done in wet weather!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Ha ha, great minds think alike.

Or fools seldom differ? LOL

 

[Gavin.]

I was expecting a bucket in the engine bay when I saw the thread title.

 

[Addicted]

Might as well be with a filter that cheap

 

[Joe#]

I might order a pipe up. That green filter is HUGE!

How the hell did you make that fit.

Cheers! I've got a Yaris K&N and am curious to see whether or not it'd fit... Almost purely for noise as I doubt it'd help in any way!

Lol, no way mate.

They ain't to bad tbh mate.

 

[The Fatty]

They look the same, but they really arnt.

No, mines one of these, still cheap yes, not the best no...but cotton so the oil did no harm.

 

[rollerdan]

How much did the piping cost mate?

 

[lokqust]

Can get the piping from Auto Silicone Hoses online for about £20
